Its presence echoes the past. Its custom-built addition, entertainer’s landscape, and valley-viewing outdoor sauna perched high above Scott Creek Conservation Park, all echo an exceptional family future, just 5 minutes from Crafers.
Once the housekeeper’s quarters for the historic Manoah House (c.1920), today, heritage-listed Manoah Cottage has monumentally expanded — faithfully replicating its original cladding and evolving its cottage status into a luminous three-bedroom, two-bathroom designer home.
Anchored by its two original rooms — a lounge with a cosy open fireplace and a guest/2nd bedroom with a captivating private deck — the home’s chic new style kicks off with a nod to its heritage.
The open-plan crescendo greets an impressive 5.5m cathedral ceiling peak — a builder’s dream realised with double-glazed picture panes, a Caesarstone-swathed designer kitchen, seamless alfresco flow, and winter’s saving grace: a combustion fire framed by a reclaimed brick mantel.
With every inch of this approximately 1489m² allotment tirelessly cleared, levelled and landscaped, you can’t help but soak up the sunlight and scenery from multiple, natural and immaculate vantage points.
If you’re craving higher elevation, the all-seasons alfresco delivers — but it’s the scent of cedar and the sense of wellbeing from the sauna (with remote Wi-Fi activation) that truly elevates the experience.
You’ll hit snooze repeatedly from the primary suite, drawn to panoramic corner panes; and whether you slip out to the deck or into the custom walk-in robe and luxe ensuite — the first of two chic bathrooms — your rest will inevitably pair with light-filled calm.
Beyond the gravelled arrival and valuable guest parking, high-clearance garaging offers both priceless storage and a fully lined home office providing a quiet retreat with a view.
The Hills are home to some very special gems; Manoah Cottage is a rarity.
