Set to the rear of two sections totalling approx 4000m2 is this wonderfully creative mixed construction home, using all modern manufactured materials to create an environment that feels very natural in this bush setting.
There are four bedrooms in total, two upstairs and two down. The master bedroom upstairs really is huge at 6m x 6m and the other upstairs bedroom is only slightly smaller at 4m x 6m. Both have feature walls with various inbuilt nooks and enjoy luscious polished timber floors.
The stairwell leading up to these rooms also utilises a lot of timber but has local hard stone at its base forming the landing. This landing is shared by a slow combustion stove, positioned ideally to convey heat to the upper section of the home.
At the base of the landing is the dining room, a long wide section of the home that dwarfs the large table currently in place.
A sliding glass door leads outside to a 12m x 2.5m undercover area facing northwest.
Back inside, next to the dining room, is a long galley style kitchen which has a stone floor. There are many cupboards here as well as an island bench.
The two downstairs bedrooms are to the rear of this open space, both are carpeted, have ceiling fans and are large enough to be doubles.
From one end of the kitchen, a glass door leads outside to an undercover paved and stoned area approx 12m x 5m, facing east to the hills beyond. At this same end of the kitchen, an internal door leads first to the laundry, which includes a separate toilet and shower alcove, and then beyond to the full bathroom, a true hidden gem. A full spa bath sits in one corner, a large shower alcove in another and a long vanity along the opposite wall. But the real standout here is a floor to ceiling stained glass window, which also catches the morning sun to create a glorious start to anyone’s working day.
At the front of the home, under the tall two story faade, sits a solid wooden front door, which gives entry to the centrepiece of this created home.
A huge lounge room with timber walls and tiled floor, that shows a rafter ceiling held up by two massive poles finished in natural stains.
There is a small office to one side which has a built-in storage cupboard, but it’s easy to imagine most of the living being done in this great front room.
Outside, apart from the two entertaining areas already mentioned, is a stone fire pit, a hammock shelter, a small ramshackle gardening shed and a steel frame two car garage. With quite a few trees as well.
If you are looking for a country retreat, not far from some of the best fishing and surfing anywhere in the country, Coulta can be your next homebase.
