The secluded parkland setting is superb, the simple Danish-inspired house elegant and practical, and the wildlife a constant joy.

This idyllic retreat is at the end of Polwarth Drive, which winds through farmland and Heritage-listed woodland overlooking the beautiful Boundy Valley. Dozens of grey kangaroos are at home here, echidnas of course, and occasionally a possum or koala drops in. But its the numerous species of birds that catch the eye and ear, drawn here by a large Australian native flower plantation.
The most captivating feature of the house by day is the sense of space and privacy. Large windows along its northern face integrate indoors and outdoors, the view is panoramic and there is not another building in sight. In winter the windows trap the sun, but a wide northern eave excludes it in summer.
The ceiling is raked, the floor fully tiled, all doors glazed, the joinery clear WRC.
The heart of the building is the contiguous living and dining areas, with a splendid Jtul wood stove (there is an infinite supply of firewood on the property), ceiling fans, and up-to-date air conditioning for the few days in the year when the house is too hot.
There are two good-sized bedrooms; a study (with satellite broadband) could become a third. The all-electric kitchen is Japanese-style, with solid timber benches and big cupboards, free-standing appliances and a pantry. A cabin in its own landscaped setting is fun for overnight visitors. The house runs on rainwater.
There is a large shed with an inspection pit, shelves and cupboards, and a separate fuel store. The seasons are a delight with the cooler summers and
Whether its a permanent residence youre after, or a weekend retreat, this unique and appealing property is well worth a visit as it is quite likley that you will fall in love at first sight.
