Luxury Houseboat Lake Eildon – Joie de Vie

Built in 2011 by respected builder Status Luxury Houseboats, this 57 x 20 ft luxury vessel combines refined craftsmanship, generous proportions and an extensive list of premium inclusions. Commissioned by the current owners and held in single ownership since new, Joie de Vie now comes to market as they retire from the lake after an extraordinary 48 years enjoying life on Lake Eildon.

Designed for relaxed cruising and entertaining, the layout offers three bedrooms, two elegant bathrooms and expansive living areas across both levels. The fully enclosed upper deck creates a second social hub, complete with a secondary helm, day beds and a fully appointed entertaining space ideal for long summer days on the water. Premium appliances, quality finishes and carefully integrated onboard systems reflect the high standards associated with a luxury Status houseboat on Lake Eildon.

Technology and onboard systems further elevate the experience. Navigation is assisted by Raymarine autopilot with remote control, while a TV dome and Starlink system support onboard connectivity and entertainment. Dual helm stations, bow and stern thrusters, reverse camera and electric hatch all contribute to confident and effortless operation.

Climate comfort is delivered via ducted Toshiba air conditioning complemented by two Rinnai heaters, ensuring the vessel remains comfortable across all seasons on the lake.

Altogether, Joie de Vie presents as a distinguished and thoughtfully specified houseboat—one that combines refined design, substantial entertaining spaces and premium mechanical systems in a proven Status platform.

For buyers seeking a well-proven luxury platform with timeless appeal, Joie de Vie represents an outstanding opportunity to secure a beautifully maintained Status houseboat for sale on Lake Eildon.
