This one level stunning home was designed by local architect Scott Carpenter to an exacting brief by the present owners. The home was built by local builder and craftsman Matt Pedlow. Positioned at the top of the ridge, the home commands panoramic views across the valley to Mt Warning in the distance. The owners adhered to the spirit of Koala Beache’s covenant and incorporated recommended building materials and design features. The home was built and completed in August 2010 and since then the owners have used it as a weekend retreat whilst running a business in Brisbane. They are now going to pursue business opportunities in Qld and must reluctantly sell this much loved home.

The home exhibits Japanese themed elements both in the low maintenance gardens and the interior design. The home is built in the pavilion style with the master suite wing, and the guest wing being separated by a breezeway connecting to the deck area. The entrance atrium is flooded with light from the high raked ceilings and glass wall panels. Entrance to the open plan living area is accessed via a Shoji screen revealing the generous proportions of the indoor outdoor room which incorporates a high vaulted ceiling with North facing glass walls and stackable glass doors leading out to the expansive covered deck, facing Mt Warning. Tasmanian Oak floors are fitted throughout the home except for the wet areas. The stunning master bedroom and ensuite with walk in robe has two glass walls allowing you to wake to a view of Mt Warning and the valley below. The guest wing has 2 generous bedrooms which have a master bathroom, powder room leading off from the hall. All glass fitted in the home has been factory tinted and all rooms have cross ventilation with either sash or louvered windows. Directly below the deck is a concrete pad which is enclosed by decorative battens and could be used as a games room or annexe is fully enclosed.

The kitchen pantry area is a chefs delight with composite granite bench tops and European stainless steel appliances. An upright gas electric range takes pride of place framed by a glass splashback and stainless range hood. The butler pantry has been fitted with generous storage space and a wine rack. The area also has the ability to be used as a home office and is wired for data and power for computers.

The rear garden area has been terraced with local stone and is complimented by a waterfall cascading into a stream, leading to a pond. The water for the area is supplied by a 5,000 litre water tank situated under the house and a reticulation system has been installed.
