The residential property now hosts one of the most ambitious private recreational water projects undertaken by homeowners in the region. The $2 million construction incorporates a 90-foot artificial mountain as its centrepiece, surrounded by five cascading waterfalls that feed into the main diving pool.
The facility's distinctive feature is an underwater scuba tunnel that allows divers to navigate through the mountain structure submerged. This engineering addition transforms the backyard pool from a standard swimming facility into a specialized diving destination.
Beyond the diving infrastructure, the property includes additional recreational amenities integrated into the mountain structure itself. A lazy river circuit provides alternative leisure options, while a fully equipped kitchen facility has been incorporated within the mountain's design, allowing guests to remain on-site for extended periods.
The project represents a growing trend among affluent homeowners in the United States who are investing in bespoke recreational facilities tailored to specific hobbies and interests. For diving enthusiasts, the installation eliminates the need to travel to professional dive sites for recreational diving practice and leisure activities.
