Set in amongst some of the most picturesque bushland in the Far South East, this property, with 2 dwellings, works with nature to create peace and tranquillity from the moment you arrive.
Your heart rate will drop, your shoulders will relax and the troubles of the world will fade away. You may never want to leave. This is sustainable living at its finest.
Set on a gentle knoll with a Northerly aspect are two dwellings. It is not until you fully explore that you appreciate and understand the luxury that is offered here.
The main residence was completed in 2002 and the attention to detail is immediately apparent as you enter through the magnificent entry doors. Locally sourced mud bricks link the house with the land, whilst providing an exceptionally secure and efficient home. A mix of Jarrah and other hard woods have been used by skilled craftsman to build the bespoke cabinetry and staircase.
The design and generous layout gives the owners a lot of scope in how they can use the living areas and bedrooms. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, plus a 37sqm studio area that could also be a perfect parents retreat and master bedroom. This light filled space enjoys lovely views across the property to the surrounding hills.
Downstairs, a fourth bedroom is conveniently located next to the lounge room, providing the possibility of extending the guest accommodation to include a private living area.
The kitchen/meals and family space provides an open and friendly meeting place where family and friends can enjoy each others company, sharing food or sitting around the cosy slow combustion fire.
Just a gentle stroll through the gardens sits the original home which was built in 1985. This dwelling is an excellent example of how mud brick homes should be built, with wide verandahs, leadlight windows and beautifully crafted woodwork. This home if available by itself, would be a very attractive family home.
Like the main home, thoughtful design and attention to detail make this a very special place. The wide verandahs lead into a large open living room, the focal point of which is the magnificent granite fire place. The kitchen and dining area will easily cater for visiting family and friends whilst the rest of the space is theirs to enjoy in comfort and privacy during their visit.
The quality of this property is continued in the extensive gardens which have been designed to keep maintenance to a minimum. The owners have used an informal style, borrowing from the landscape and enhancing the palette with seasonal colour. The atmosphere is restful, suggesting peace and quietness. The Japanese Garden is a beautiful place to linger and listen to the gentle sounds of the surrounding bush.
The owners are committed to minimising their carbon footprint. Each house has its own excellent solar system. An abundant capacity to secure and store water means there is an adequate supply at all times. With an established vegetable garden, fruit trees, a chook house, potting shed and excellent fencing, it is easy to imagine an almost entirely self-sufficient existence.
