SHD Real Estate has announced plans to develop Lipno Vista, a residential project on the shores of the Lipno Reservoir in the South Bohemian region of the Czech Republic. Construction is expected to begin during the second half of 2026, with the first homes scheduled for completion in 2029.
The development will comprise 179 apartments across seven residential buildings, providing more than 16,000 sqm of residential space. The scheme will offer one- to four-room apartments, with each unit including underground parking and private storage.
The project has been designed by architectural studio A8000 in collaboration with SHD Real Estate. According to the developer, the buildings have been planned to follow the site’s sloping terrain, with the aim of preserving views across the lake while integrating the development into its natural surroundings.
A landscaped communal garden will form the centre of the development, while construction materials will primarily include wood, stone and metal, reflecting the character of the surrounding Šumava region.
Vehicle traffic will be largely confined below ground through underground parking facilities, allowing the surface areas to be dedicated to pedestrian movement and green space.
Lipno Vista is located close to the marina and lakefront, providing access to a range of outdoor recreational activities throughout the year, including sailing, paddleboarding, cycling, hiking and fishing. During winter, residents will also have access to nearby ski facilities, the ice-skating route on the frozen reservoir and the Hochficht ski resort in neighbouring Austria.
The development will also include resident amenities intended to support both everyday living and remote working.
Roger Dunlop, CEO of SHD Real Estate, said the project was designed to make use of the site’s lakeside location while offering a residential environment that combines housing with access to nature and outdoor activities.
The company said the project forms part of its broader strategy of developing residential schemes that emphasise environmental integration and long-term sustainability.
