The light garden has a striking water feature.
It seems sometimes that the text has not been written by a native speaker as the author uses sometimes strange terms. I didn't found the term, maybe someone of you can suggest me a sensed translation, thanks.

Wasserspiel
This is a spontaneous suggestion, but I can imagine that the writer is referring to some type of water fountain

Vielleicht auch Wasseranlage, doch das klingt sehr technisch.

Ein water feature hat mehrere Möglichkeiten.
Zierbrunnen, Wasserlauf, Gartenteich
Ich habe in meinem Garten in Cape Town einen kleinen Gartenteich/water feature - und auf der Terrasse einen kleinen Zierbrunnen/water feature.
Mein Nachbar hat einen künstlich angelegten Wasserlauf/water feature im Garten.
Ich würde beim Kunden nachfragen, was dieses water feature ist, da multiple choice in Deutsch besteht.

: because water feature is generic, and Wasserspiel is specific and may not apply to the situation.

The bedecked and remarkably light garden has a striking water feature.
