Unique is a word that we use an awful lot to describe properties, this is not an exaggeration in this case.
Perched atop 27 hectares of coastal bushland with kilometres of walking tracks and fantastic views across the Bay of Fires to Eddystone lighthouse this sensational property has a real sense of privacy and seclusion while maintaining a feeling of proximity to St Helens and Binalong Bay.
The home is a triumph of engineering. It has a truly wonderful design. Set 4m off the ground, you feel like you are in a treehouse. It’s a bit more luxurious than that though. All of the fixtures and fittings ooze quality, Bosch, Miele, Franke are some of the names that adorn them. The kitchen has 45mm thick Ben Lomond granite benches and is designed to keep the fussiest home chef very happy indeed. The whole house is girt by a 2 metre deck of spotted gum which leads to an al-fresco area of 14 metre by 5 metre entertaining deck on the western end. All of the decking is covered by colourbond and laserlite roofing.
The carbon footprint on this home must be tiny. 5kw of solar panels, full insulation, evacuated tube solar hot water, ducted hot air from a ‘Thermolux’ wood heater and double glazing make it an environmental hero.
The landscaping is an ongoing project. Two pebble ‘creekbeds’ lead excess water to an enormous dam. A possum and wallaby proof fence surrounds the vegie patch and fruit trees. The woodshed is a thing of beauty and the 12 metre by 12 metre garage and lean-to carport will fit almost any car, boat or truck.
Extensive thought has been given to fire protection. A fire-ring protects the house and fire hydrants and hoses are near the house and garage. There’s 100,000 litres of tank water and the dam to give you peace of mind
This is a property with so many features but you have to stop somewhere. So come and have a look for yourself.
