This elevated residence on 5.2 acres of beautiful land with a creek on the property was built by the guideline that the most important aspect of a house is its landscape and that architecture shouldn’t change it.
The main floor with a covered front patio includes a large living area, a kitchen where everything is brand new, dining area and a bathroom. The upper floor features three bedrooms, bathroom, office-space and a well sized terrace where beautiful views of the rainforest-clad mountainous landscape present itself. A covered patio at the rear of the house provides tranquillity and captures the scent of the rainforest.
Two rainwater tanks and a high quality bore supplied its residents with a sustainable water supply whilst a solar hot-water system helps to minimize the power bill. Two large shade houses will please the horticulture enthusiast.
The extra large garage, which is tiled and where plumbing is already in place, was constructed with the intention to easily convert it into additional living space whenever this may be required.
