This spectacular and unique architecturally-designed home, in its very private 2021 (approx) square metre ocean of lush landscaped vines and fruit trees, is a tantalising clue of the delights within.
Inspired by the joy of life and the satisfaction gained from sharing good food and conversation, this home is focused purely on pleasure even before you step inside. The front patio is a versatile space with loads of room for friends and family, no matter what the weather. And forget the ubiquitous brick barbie – this has been superseded by a fabulous pizza oven. Convenient and direct access to the kitchen nurtures the smooth flow of conversation and food.
The interior of the home is nothing short of breathtaking. Soaring ceilings draw the eye to the seductively curved exposed beams, styled like the ribs of an enormous wooden ship, and everywhere is the warmth and glow of celery top and huon pine, blackwood and Tasmanian eucalypt.
The kitchen, designed to entertain, is spacious with sleek, smooth lines and generous bench space. The timber here creates a space which is cutting edge contemporary without an ounce of compromise on the traditional heart of the house. There are cupboards aplenty including a separate pantry. A tiled floor, complete with subterranean heating adds a Mediterranean flavour and steers you into a separate dining area.
From here your horizon expands…
In the elevated lounge, vast, double-glazed windows and cathedral ceilings harness the light like sails harnessing the wind while the immense six-metre fieldstone fireplace anchors the room with its sense of stability and solidity. Heating in these areas is augmented by elements secreted in the ceiling.
A staircase leads you up to a fabulous mezzanine currently used as an office. However, the ample light and space inspire you to explore its possibilities. Intricate details like the leadlight window and the timber features serve to highlight the thoughtfulness in the planning of this home. The view over the balcony to the room below amplifies
