Czech Republic Sotheby's International Realty is pleased to exclusively present a designer year-round houseboat moored in Nová Živohošť on the Slapy Reservoir , one of the Czech Republic's most sought-after waterfront destinations. Combining contemporary design, modern technology and direct access to nature, this exceptional property offers a unique lifestyle on the water. Surrounded by peaceful scenery, enjoying sunlight throughout the day and panoramic views across the reservoir, it provides an ideal setting for weekend escapes as well as year-round living. Measuring 17 × 4.1 metres , the houseboat features a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom layout created in collaboration with an interior architect. The bright open-plan living area seamlessly connects the lounge, dining space and fully equipped kitchen, while large-format glazing floods the interior with natural light and opens directly onto a covered waterfront terrace overlooking the reservoir. Two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom provide practical accommodation for family living or extended stays. The interior is furnished with bespoke custom-made furniture crafted exclusively for the property. The fully equipped kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator with freezer, gas hob, microwave oven, Nespresso coffee machine and everything required for everyday comfort. A wood-burning fireplace creates a warm atmosphere during the colder months, while uninterrupted water views remain a defining feature throughout the home. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The houseboat offers two covered terraces with dimmable lighting and a private L-shaped swimming dock extending directly above the water. A secondary rear terrace features an outdoor sink, ideal for preparing freshly caught fish. Thanks to its orientation, the main terrace enjoys spectacular sunsets over the Slapy Reservoir throughout the year. Designed for year-round use , the property benefits from an advanced off-grid energy system ensuring exceptional independence and comfort. Technical equipment includes a solar power array with battery storage, a Honda backup generator, Webasto hot-water heating, a wood-burning stove, water heater and gas boiler. Heating, lighting and climate settings can all be controlled remotely via a dedicated mobile application. The houseboat is equipped with a comprehensive security and technology system, including CCTV, an alarm, Wi-Fi, sensors monitoring water leaks, gas leaks and temperature fluctuations, automatic ventilation of the technical hull compartment, and heated water pipes to ensure seamless operation throughout the winter months. The vessel is built on a robust steel pontoon with a timber-frame superstructure clad in standing seam metal, and is securely anchored both to the lakebed and the rock face. The sale also includes an indefinite-term mooring agreement with the Czech state enterprise Povodí Vltavy, ensuring long-term security of this exceptional berth. Comparable mooring locations on the Slapy Reservoir are extraordinarily rare, virtually unavailable, and opportunities of this kind are unlikely to arise again. The exclusivity of the setting is further enhanced by the fact that the houseboat is accessible only by water. For this reason, the sale also includes a motorboat with a trailer, providing convenient transportation and allowing the new owner to fully embrace this distinctive waterfront lifestyle.
