With peaceful and panoramic views out over the acreage it’s hard to believe this property is east of the highway, about a five minute drive to the beach, schools, shops and cafes.
Just over two and a half acres in size, the property has a good-sized dam and has been thoughtfully planned with eco-principles in mind, aided by a huge rainwater tank (92,000 litres) and passive solar design. There’s an array of fruit trees and a couple of outbuildings, but it’s the beautiful home that really steals the limelight.
The perfect house for the large, extended or blended family, all four bedrooms are huge, one in particular could easily sleep two children and still have plenty of room to spare! You could even consider two kids sharing this room and using one of the others as a media room – it’s good to have options! (Read on for details about the granny flat potential).
Soaring ceilings with louvres for cross flow ventilation, feature walls in a warm coffee colour and large floor tiles with distinctive detail all help to make this home unique – but these subtle features still lend themselves to a range of interior design styles.
Passive solar is keynote in the vast living area, with highlight louvre windows which aid cross flow ventilation and a building design which encourages sunlight in winter and cooling breezes in summer. Long pendant lights are also a practical and stylish touch in this space.
The kitchen is enormous, with a large, functional central island bench, double pantry, quality Miele appliances and enough prep space for a team of chefs. Glass splashbacks in a grape colour, soft close drawers and thoughtful planning with cupboard configuration unite the practical with the design aesthetic – there’s even a drawer near the gas cook top to store your various cooking oils.
The dining room and two of the bedrooms have views out to the covered deck on one side, offering protection from the elements for the in-built brick pizza oven (sure to get a work out).
The master suite has lovely views down over the property, a walk-through robe and a modern ensuite, with a glass framed shower and contemporary tiling. Both bathrooms are also tiled to the ceiling, with a modern design and attention to detail.
The light-filled master opens to a wide deck to the north, which runs along much of this side of the house, with a high timber screen at one end affording privacy. Line the verandah balustrades with tea lights and put your outdoor furniture to good use with a night time soiree.
Eco-principles have been given due consideration at this property, there’s a 92,000 litre rainwater tank which provides water for washing and household chores. It also has an advanced filtration system that renders it practical for consumption.
The central dam is a focal point, the greenery includes a line of willows, Canna lilies and clumping bamboo, and the visiting bird life at the property is said to include attractive Satin and Golden bowerbirds.
Additional ground works have just been completed, a thoughtful consideration so that ride-on mowing is more streamlined for the new owner. The property also a ‘transportable’ shed, and the NBN has been connected.
Even the over-sized garage is a feature at this home: there’s a bench with two large sinks along one wall, as well as a toilet and basin. If you’re looking for a property with a granny flat, there’s potential here to add a shower and convert the bench into a kitchenette (subject to council approval).
This really is one of those special properties where all the boxes have been ticked: the house is stunning and has flexible options for family living, all the hard work’s been done with the land, the views and lifestyle are superb and you have the convenience of the shops, beach and cafes within an easy drive.
