The front door ushers you into a wide entrance foyer featuring a beautiful internal courtyard which separates the two distinct wings of the home.

One hallway runs to the right from the entrance connecting the kitchen, family and adjoining dining area together with a vast living room dominated by a large fireplace which, combined with ceiling heat warms this area of the house. A powder room and bathroom combined with laundry are also on this level with the private master retreat is elevated on the level above.

The highly functional open galley style kitchen features stunning Huon Pine cabinetry and a bespoke central island preparation bench, as well a newly reconfigured butlers pantry adjoins the dining and family area creating the hub of the house designed for family interaction.

Sliding doors leading from the living room to the extensive outdoor entertaining area are often open extending the space and enhancing the casual feel of this zone. Encompassed by a wide verandah to protect you from the elements, this area is ideal year round and with dedicated seating areas peppered around the landscaped grounds, there are a host of intimate places for solitude and relaxation.

The second wing comprises two double bedrooms with robes whilst an additional bedroom and sitting area/office is a level up. This zone is serviced by a sensational Japanese inspired 'ofuro' bathroom complete with open shower and Huon pine tub and vanity.

The house is mostly constructed of recycled convict bricks, original sandstone lintels with numerous Huon pine internal window frames and double glazing throughout with quality carpets, jarrah flooring and first class fixtures and fittings.

The double garage/workshop with three phase power, remote doors and additional storage room also has a very spacious one bedroom self contained studio above, perfect for numerous applications including Air BNB or guest accommodation.

Huge boulders form the back retaining wall and are a feature in themselves with numerous others strategically placed around the property as visual features accompanying the natural surrounds. An aggregate driveway adjacent to the garage allows for numerous off street parking spaces extending closer to the front entrance which features original sandstone flagstones creating easy access to the home.

This stylish sanctuary that simply invites relaxation, fosters a calm serene ambience, is casual yet elegant, rustic yet refined reflecting the personalities of the current owners who are proud that they have turned their dreams into reality creating their ideal home.

Privacy afforded by the surrounding bush land was a key factor for the current owners with the lush greenery and superb scenery assuring them of a tranquil and enviable lifestyle.
