History has been re-visited when this home was built. Modelled on the design and building style of the 1860s Bowen River Hotel. The attention to detail in sourcing materials that would recreate this amazing property is evident from the moment you enter the verandah from the wide open stairs.
It is impressive.
The verandahs are wide and long. For the comfort of the home owner, these areas have been screened.
For the most part, doors from the verandahs into the house are double timber doors which latch back onto the house. Light windows above the doors allow hot air to escape and cools the house.
Hardwood timber is used throughout the home.
