Defined by its unique architecture and the use of Turpentine timber logs and corrugated cladding, Architect Reg Lark ensures the home stays true to its rural surrounds, perfectly fusing country and contemporary style with an appreciation for high-end quality materials and fine attention to detail.
The design brief was to create a home that always felt like you were on your veranda, create a space that revelled in the properties spectacular 10.39 hectares on offer and utilise its Grose Valley mountain backdrop which the home convincingly achieves with its passive solar design.
Circa 20 years old the homes design has proven timeless, the open plan lounge, dining and galley style kitchen with an abundance of light and fresh breezes courtesy of the high-pitched roof and expanses of louvered windows. A second living space known as the glass house presents the perfect spot to take in morning sun and garden vistas.
The home offers fours bedrooms, three of those being internal and privately zoned away from the living spaces with mezzanine level found above rooms. The fourth bedroom/ guest accommodation is connected via large entertainment space and features stunning floor to ceiling louvered windows and own bathroom.
The land offers itself to a range of rural pursuits, all fully fenced with two dams and sweeping green pasture once homing plenty of cattle and horses. Furthermore, the block also aids to those who need large shedding, two driveway access points with large turning circle on bitumen driveways.
The idyllic location offers both privacy and convenience, just moments to North Richmond Shopping Centre, the caf Culture of Kurrajong Village and a host of quality local primary and high schools within the Hawkesbury. For those seeking a rural change the property is located a 40-minute drive to Norwest Business District and over an hour to Sydney CBD.
