What's around The Scenic Road
House description
“Las Canoas, A rare and remarkable estate from which to work and live”
A sense of calm and exclusivity flows within as you enter through the electric gates at the end of a private road, embracing the simple pleasures of seclusion and tranquillity. From the driveway you enter the gatehouse's home office (approx 42 square meters) recently remodelled by David Katon. It is the perfect work from home oasis set in approximately 1.67 acres of your own extraordinary park.
The property was discovered in 1939 by Oskar Speck after an epic 14,000 mile kayak from Germany and the current owners have named the property in honour of his journey.
The substantial surrounding gardens have been remodelled using a design by Fiona Brockhoff, renowned for her coastal designs. Her work is truly dedicated to the serenity of the natural environment and surrounds and takes full advantage of the estate's dramatic rock formations and myriad garden rooms.
Paths usher you through the kitchen garden and orchard, to your choice of lounging or outdoor dining spaces, where you can take in the sounds of the surf or the clinking of masts in Hardy's Bay.
As you meander through these magical grounds, with the sounds of the birds, flowing waterfalls and the beautiful views across lush gardens to the Brisbane Waters, it's on this walk that the tranquility strikes you and you appreciate what makes Las Canoas so special.
The house flows over two levels, with an abundance of natural light and airflow and is perfectly designed to complement its location and natural surrounds.
The spacious living room boasts floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors flowing seamlessly out onto the expansive deck, perfect for enjoying evening BBQ's and watching the sunset in spectacular colours over Bouddi National Park and Brisbane Waters.
A private dining room is the perfect space for wonderful dinners with family and friends, featuring a gorgeous picture window looking out upon amazing pine trees and the pacific ocean towards Palm Beach.
There are 4 bedrooms, the master bedroom features an ensuite and French doors opening to the garden and a second bedroom also opens onto the garden.
The current owners commissioned David Katon to design a renovation on the main house and the plans were granted, DA approval was in 2018.
There is a large parking bay for several cars at the entrance of the gatehouse, along with a single lock-up-garage.
Another very useful feature of the home is the integrated water tank which holds around 22,000 litres, plus two additional 3,000 litre water tanks.
You will be spoiled for choice in ways to add your personality to Las Canoas' house and grounds. You may choose to live in the house as is, remodel, or take on the approved major renovation.
Outside there is also ample room for a large swimming pool, bocce court, Mediterranean style dining area, or an elegant combination of all of these.
Stunning beaches are only two minutes away, or maybe you choose to indulge your yachting dream and moor your yacht in the Bay only minutes further along The Scenic Rd. You'll even be able to keep an eye on it from your deck!
You will find dining at Bells, or in the fabulous restaurants of vibrant Hardy's Bay only 5 minutes away.
Las Canoas is the epitome of work from home living. If you must tear yourself away for "face to face" meetings, Sydney CBD will be only a 70-minute drive upon completion of NorthConnex.
There are no other properties on the Killcare Peninsula offering this size, privacy, tranquillity, convenience, and staggering potential of Las Canoas.
A rare find indeed!
