Help me make a list of Houses with Water features, pools, lakes, interior water pools, etc.

Hypertionb14_ESO · February 15

I want one house pre-furnished with some nice water features, Like the Psijic Manor and the current on sale WillowPond, but i want to look at all the options. To be honest if it was on sale i would probably get the Psijic manor but i know it will be a while before its on sale again.. also i dont like the lack of weather and time of day that the location purportedly has.

so i would like help from people who have seen all the houses, got any recommendations for nice looking large houses with water features? ideally with a fantasy look but honestly the water features are the biggest draw to me in most ways.

tbh if it wasnt for the fact it has 2 seperate houses instead of a decently bigger single house i would totally get WillowPond.

Of the houses I own: Potentate’s Retreat, Thieves Oasis, Earthtear Caverns, Serenity Falls, Stone Eagle Aerie, Antiquarian’s Alpine Gallery, Sword-Singers Redoubt

Varlaisvea Ayleid Ruins is on the coast like Psijic Villa.

Amaya Lake Lodge has a small area of water near the entrance.

Smitch_59 · February 15

Strident Springs Desmene has a nice large Imperial style house and a waterfall and pond.

Kitziboo · February 15

Sweetwater Cascades has a large area of water all around the house and Sleek Creek has a small river running through the back.

kynesgrove · February 15

Ample Domicile has a little swampy pond area.

Hapexamendios · February 15

Xanmeer in Murkmire

Amazing that no one has mentioned the most beautiful home in ESO.

Seaveil Spire, It is an underwater Temple, the entrance is in Betnikh and comes with it's own lake that you can swim around in, also as a bonus anyone in the underwater section in this image can see people swimming above them and vice versa.

Hunding's Palatial Hall is a large house in Stros M'Kai. It has an ocean in the back.

Likewise Princely Dawnlight Palace, where you can build quite far along the ocean rockface.

Sleek Creek, though perhaps smaller than you want.

Grizzbeorn · February 15

Seaveil and Stone Eagle are my favorites with water-features.
D'oh! And I forgot Fogbreak Lighthouse, my current primary home.

Hunter's Glade in the Rift has water in its "outdoor" area.

There's also Moon Sugar Meadow in Northern Elsweye.

Small spots of water:

The Ample Domicile
Sleek Creek House
Enchanted Snow Globe
Kelesan'ruhn (got view of water but just some streams of water in house)

Slightly larger but not large:

Amaya Lake Lodge
Agony's Ascent (foul looking water spots)
Stone Eagle Aerie (pools)
Bastion Sanguinaris (Pond with waterfalls. Also a lake of lava)

Large sections of water that is part of a coast or the sea (may have less or more slaughterfish):

Hunding's Palatial Hall (coast)
Daggerfall Overlook (Coast with slaughterfish very close)
Fogbreak Lighthouse (Island surrounded by water, can go far out into it)
Colossal Aldmeri Grotto (A lot of water)
The Fair Winds (A ship at sea, so plenty of water, but can't stay in the water)
Forgemaster Falls (Coast with entrance right on a dock, can go quite far out. A few waterfalls and water parts on the land parts too)
Grand Topal Hideaway (Island, so a lot of beach+water)
Grand Psijic Villa (Island)
Pantherfang Chapel (Coast and small dock)
Potentate's Retreat (Coast and lake with glowy rocks and plants)
Princely Dawnlight Palace (coast)
Seaveil Spire (Water, water everywhere. Both above and below)
Varlaisvea Ayleid Ruins (Coast and pools)

Large sections of water that is inland or indoors:

Serenity Falls Estate (Small river and pond)
Strident Springs Demesne (small lake with waterfall)
Hall of the Lunar Champion (Halls of Colossus section- larger lake at bottom, slaughterfishy close up, Moongrave Fane section, small pool and low waterfally stream at border)
Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery (Lake, river and watefalls)
Earthtear Cavern (Large lake)
The Erstwhile Sanctuary (Waterfalls)
Hunter's Glade (smaller and larger ponds of glowy water)
Lakemire Xanmeer Manor (plenty of water, with water lilies, also big underwater windows)
Linchal Grand Manor (Long but shallow pool)
Moon-Sugar Meadow (A lot of rivers and lake around)
Pariah's Pinnacle (Lake and waterfall)
Sweetwater Cascades (A lot of water and waterfall)
Sword-Singer's Redoubt (At bottom of crystal mine/cave)
Thieves' Oasis (Large pool and waterfalls)
Willowpond Haven (Lake and waterfall)
Wraithhome (Azure plasm pool)

Frozen water:

Stillwaters Retreat (Frozen lake)

Does lava count? Because then:

Doomchar Plateau
Elinhir Private Arena
Kushalit Sanctuary

Think I got all, but might have missed one. Might even post my own list after this comment

Ah it does, took and looked. Thought those were outside the building border but are accessable

There's also a couple of secret waterfalls off the sides.

At night, the one around back has torch flies that you can enjoy.

whitecrow · February 15

Exorcised Coven Cottage has a bit of water, but it's small.

Kittytravel · February 16

I think from the vantage point of 'Impressive Water Features' there are only four that come to mind that would contend with sheer availability and 'presence'.

1. Sweetwater Cascades
2. Seaveil Spire
3. Princely Dawnlight Palace
4. Potentate's Retreat

This is mostly a list based on my observations where water in the home wasn't meant to be an 'afterthought' or a 'side effect' of its location. Instead the home specifically caters towards the presence of water within it; the list is also organized by my own personal rating of how much it caters towards that presence. Sweetwater and Seaveil are leagues (pardon the pun) above the other two. But Princely Dawnlight and Potentate's provide a natural man-meets-sea structure that the original two do not. I believe Potentate's to be worth less than Princely Dawnlight because it is damaged inside and that makes it seem very lackluster to me.

Lastly, the main reason I put Sweetwater Cascades at the very top is unlike Seaveil Seaspire it has a great deal of available structuring in the game that will blend naturally with the building so that, depending on how you build it, you can add extra bridges/pathways over your water-based home without it clashing with the view.

I would have to argue for Thieves Oasis, Stone Eagle Aerie, and Varliasvea Ayleid Ruins as far as fitting the location as you described. The first two are on my favorites list for the ones I own, and the Ayleid one would make the list if there were more older Ayleid furnishings added to the game. I have used some of the newer West Weald ones instead but could always use more.

I struggled with decorating the large dark dome area inside Potentate’s Retreat, but once I came up with something I am happy with the house. I would be happier if we could remove those ugly crystals from the large pool, though.

spartaxoxo · February 16

Lakemire Xanmeer Manor also has beautiful and fitting water features imo. I don't feel the water there is just a side note like, for example, the water in Sleek Creek.

darvaria · February 17

Grand Psijic Villa (Island)

It's beautiful. Several steaming fountains. Several soaking pools around. Even a hidden little pool inside. Not to mention the sweeping stairways leading to the body of water surrounding the house. Multiple pools around. I find it to be just fabulous.

ValkyriesWolf · February 18

Tel Galen also got a beach (and I think a dock?) at the sea.

freespirit · February 18

Serenity Falls might be a good place to start, available for gold and the waterfall is gorgeous, no need to wait for it to return to the store.

Also worth remembering there are now a couple of options for adding water to homes, the Basalt Pool, Everlasting Waterfall and the Sulfur Pool...... oh and ofc several different fountains.

I have made some really pretty streams using the waterfalls. 🙂

It's from Summerset, an achievement furnishing, and is quite pricey (like most achievement furnishings are) with 75k gold per piece.

So building a stream or cascades or big waterfall could easily go into the millions.

In addition to being an island surrounded by ocean like mentioned above, Grand Topal Hideaway (accessed by way of Grahtwood) also has a tall waterfall that pours down into a small but deep natural swimming pool.

The pool drains out in two directions, creating twin streams with a series of smaller waterfalls and a shallow pool, before running down into the ocean. It's also a volcanic island, so you get lava waterfalls and streams as well, if ya want a bit of variety. You can swim all the way around the island, though there's not much else there but rock walls and ocean. The only things that may not meet your requirements are that it's not one house; it's a series of Murkmire-style huts on the island connected by nifty raised walkways. And the volcano makes noise sometimes, with a steady plume of smoke coming out. I have no idea when this house will be back on the market, though; I got it way back when it first came out and haven't paid attention to later sales.

Grizzbeorn · February 21

Forgemaster Falls in Wrothgar has some nice water.
I've spent a lot of time entertaining a dear friend of mine, jumping off the waterfall trying to find the sweet spot where I wouldn't die. Where as she could hit it every time.

Hypertionb14_ESO · February 27

Sigh, i really dislike the "temporary availability of these houses" it seems any house i genuinely would shell out full price for it prefurnished was on sale before i started playing again late last year.

I genuinely wonder if the push to fomo this stuff actually hurts sales sometimes..
