Step inside the open-plan living zone to discover a faultless merging of natural and built environments. Morning sun through a leadlight window casts colourful patterns on the floor, soft, natural tones and organic textures echo the surrounding landscape. Raked ceilings lined with honey-toned timber bring a sense of space and stillness to the heart of this home.
A sunken den – or study – and built-in bar arranged at one corner of the family room ensure a welcoming atmosphere with ample space for socialising. Add to the picture a slow combustion fire, reverse cycle air-conditioning, a floorplan that flows to the outdoor entertaining area and spa, and a kitchen that’s sure to inspire culinary triumphs, and it’s easy to visualise years of making memories with friends and family.
The kitchen boasts an open-plan layout and features a stone waterfall-end benchtop with integrated breakfast bar. Equipped with an electric cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher, this cooks’ haven is sure to inspire gastronomic triumphs. Abundant storage is provided by deep drawers, tall cabinets, and a central island.
A paved and sheltered outdoor entertaining zone extends from the open-plan kitchen and meals area. Set against a painterly landscape of dappled light, lush lawn and the sculptural forms of tall eucalypts – a vista also available from the decked, above-ground pool and spa – this oasis of calm and nature’s magnificence is an unbeatable setting for getting together with friends and family or simply whiling away a lazy afternoon.
At the west of the plan is a restful parents’ retreat comprising a large bedroom, a walk-in robe and an ensuite. A sliding door onto the front verandah leads to an idyllic setting for sharing a quiet breakfast together. Three junior bedrooms, a shared family bathroom and separate WC form the junior wing at the opposite end of the home. A walk-through laundry completes the layout in the junior wing.
Towards the southern boundary, a powered workshop awaits those with a project in the works – or on the horizon. Drive-in access and an adjoining concrete apron make this a practical workspace. Space for vegetable gardens, fenced holding yards with shelters and a chicken coop offer opportunities to fully embrace a Hills lifestyle.
Hours of adventurous play and discovery await with more than 4 acres to explore, further afield, a local access track leads to kilometres of walking and riding along the Heritage Trail.
Immersed in a breathtaking natural setting and bordering a serene reserve, this impressive property rests gently in its setting and displays an effortless combination of timeless charm and modern elegance.
