“Feathertop” of Olinda. Finding that elusive combination of genuine luxury and entertaining excellence in a relaxed environment that can truly be described as “private” can be difficult, we know. That’s why careful consideration needs to be given to this local landmark property, hidden within its own 10 acre, (4.5ha) forest setting this exclusive French provincial showpiece is where home and setting harmonise. Great to look at and even better to live in, this ‘purpose built home’ provides an abundance of space over 3 levels with 3 oversized bedrooms and a genuine study/home office (or 4th bedroom), serviced by 2 bathrooms, (spa) plus a separate powder room. Much of the formal and informal living zones are set on hand-cut parquetry floors and the country kitchen has a St. George oven, ample bench and cupboard space and a “family friendly” meals area ideal for informal meals. Alfresco dining options include both balconies or larger events are catered for with the outdoor paved area by the stunning waterfall. Larger indoor functions are catered for in the lower rumpus/theatre/games room with the adjacent wine cellar ensuring plenty of re-fills. An enormous Garage has room for all the cars and equipment you could ever need to secure and the ability to drive through to the rear of the property ensures trailers/vans/bikes and machinery are never ‘grid locked’. Quality enhancers include hand carved solid timber doors, cedar panelled walls and windows with custom made fittings as well as a sweeping three storey staircase encased in the ‘striking’ turret that is the lasting design feature the homes creator wanted visitors to hold as their lasting memory. With a feature list way too expansive to detail here, an inspection is something special, at a property that was built on tradition, and ready to meet the needs of today’s most fastidious buyer.
