Leave all the distractions of a hectic world behind as you enter the long sweeping driveway through sheltered bushland to this superbly stylish property, nestled with a gentle footprint amongst 30 acres of pristine dry sclerophyll forest on the Shipley Plateau. Flush from autumn to spring with wildflowers and birdsong: waratahs, banksias, wattles, tea trees, black cockatoos, honey eaters, lyrebirds, gang gangs - every inch of this property is imbued with a glorious, secluded serenity.
The house was built to welcome in the sunshine and the beauty all around, architecturally designed along passive solar principles. An expansive open kitchen/dining/living space faces north-east, with a long length of sliding glass doors that flood the heat bank black concrete floor with winter warmth, enhanced by a beautiful feature fireplace and the convenience of gas heating. The house alignment also facilitates shading of the internal spaces in summer and allows for cross ventilation, with the rendered Hebel walls acting as excellent insulators for year round comfort. All rooms but one lead out onto a house-length patio, flowing down to the lawn and the bushland beyond.
Everywhere gracious lines, high ceilings, natural colours and generous proportions give a beautiful sense of space and light. One of the three bedrooms is currently a library/study, with bespoke waist height, modular, wooden shelving stretching the length of the room, that can easily be moved/rearranged if desired. The master has an expansive walk through wardrobe with a full bath ensuite.
In fact, this property is overflowing with desirable features: a 10,000 litre and a 30,000 litre water tank with pump and house sprinklers for summer time peace of mind, a flushing worm composting toilet that takes all household organics, a modern luxury kitchen with gas hobs, glass splashbacks, stainless steel bench tops, two ovens and a walk-in pantry and an expansive roof cavity that could convert to a second floor.
Outside there is a separate carport with studio, a boule court, fenced veggie patch and a bushland paradise with creeks, springs and walks through sandstone country to Kanimbla Valley cliff views. Ideally situated as the last block before the glorious Hargraves Lookout and bordered by Crown land, this bush sanctuary is only minutes by car or push bike from the schools, cafes, shops and transport hub of Blackheath. This stylish haven could be the realisation of your perfect lifestyle dream.
If you would like to walk down to the cliff edge on your inspection, please bring suitable footwear.
