167 Lawsons Long Alley, Hartley Vale NSW 2790

This beautiful bespoke timbercrete home is the perfect fit for its gloriously secluded bush location, built with a unique vision of architectural form meeting function within the sheltered tranquility of Hartley Vale. The woes of the world may seem a million miles away in this relaxing rural valley retreat, yet the property is only a scenic 15 minutes drive from schools and shops. Nestled on 30 acres, every room in the house looks or flows out onto the large decks and the charming bush garden, brimming with Australian natives, ferns, flowers and birds.

The house overlooks a fully fenced picturesque dam and is surrounded by well timbered forest and some open grass, frequently dotted with the local kangaroo mob. There are 3 generous bedrooms; the main having a pavilion-like feel with gorgeous views on three sides through floor to ceiling windows and an open air 'en suite', with a full sized tub, perfect for a soak under the stars. The north facing open living/ dining/kitchen area is lit by long banks of windows on either side, flooding the generous room with light and vistas, and features a spectacular sandstone central fire surround. Every detail, from the natural wood and glass front door to the mixed forest reds timber floor, has been superbly crafted. The property also boasts a cottage studio with a loft, 115,000 litre water tank, compost toilet and cubby tree house.

The creation of this home was a real labour of love, which gives it a rare and inherently special feel.
