Discreetly set behind a privacy garden and imposing gates “Brochclachlan” sits on approx 1.25 acres of level land. With an abundance of bird-life, wild-life and bush, the property is reminiscent of a Nordic Manor with its stone walls, heavy timber, high ceilings and private pool. Enter the grounds through gates flanked by brick pillars into an elegant circular driveway.
Entry into the foyer with the imposing ficus tree leads you through to the open plan “Great Room” with soaring cathedral ceilings and in-built bar. Entertaining family and friends is easy in this area as it has access to the verandah and a powder room. A bonus is the extra storage in this zone.
The kitchen with views of the garden and pool offers high gloss white cabinetry, verde marinacia granite bench tops, pot drawers, bench spaces, extra large pantry, Bosch dishwasher and Fisher & Paykel rangehood, gas cook top and wall oven.
The casual living and dining areas are open plan and large enough to accommodate the largest of families. They feature polished hardwood floors, white mahogany poles, a Norwegian “Jotul” combustion stove and plenty of seating nooks for the avid reader and storage areas.
The parent’s suite is located on the upper level with a wonderful deep spa bath tub with views to the bush. The bathroom featuring Italian travertine tiles includes a rain-head shower, vanity and toilet suite. A large master bedroom with an open plan dressing room has plenty of closet space and storage, provides plenty of opportunities to relax and recharge. The louvres allow the easterly breeze to gently blow through this area.
A separate wing houses the original rooms and reflects the raw textures of brick, hardwood timber, stone and the natural elements. There is a library / study with shelves lining one of the walls, a bedroom as well as another master suite and parent retreat with en-suite and spa bath as well as another bathroom. There is a reading nook with a wet bar that looks out to the gardens and pool. This “wing” has separate access and its own foyer entry – this would make great accommodation for in-laws, teens or guests. The study with wet area could be converted to a kitchen (STCA).
The outdoor areas are surrounded by bush so whether you’re swimming in the pool, enjoying the sun or entertaining guests you sense the privacy. There is space for all age groups to enjoy the outdoors. Behind the two car garage is a large laundry and a storage pantry. The side verandah is used as a carport. Other features are the 11×7 metre garage / workshop / storage shed with mezzanine and the 8×6 metre boat storage shelter.
Extras include: solar power and solar hot water system, saltwater swimming pool, air conditioning, a combination of down lights & pendants, quality curtains and blinds and mature landscaped gardens.
This is a truly magnificent home and unlike any other in the area. With plenty of space, character and land, the whole family will enjoy living in this magical home.
