Floating ceilings, custom macrocarpa and cedar joinery, and refined brushed nickel and stainless-steel hardware, speak to the uncompromising craftsmanship throughout.

From the moment you step through the custom pivot door in the gallery entrance, the home's two-winged, open-plan structure exudes warmth and functionality. The generously scaled kitchen and dining spaces feature a cantilevered window seat, island bench, and grand sliding doors which open out onto the home's north-west facing terraces. Adjacent to the kitchen, a self-contained scullery and integrated laundry affords covered external access to the home's two-bay carport. The dining and living areas unfold as a series of beautifully connected spaces, beyond which a private office featuring built-in cabinetry leads to the primary suite. Located at the western-most aspect, the secluded master bedroom is complete with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. To the right of the gallery entrance, the family wing includes a secondary living space, full bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, and three double bedrooms each with individual garden terrace access.

The wider estate includes a fully updated 1970s three bedroom home, ideal for extended family, guests, staff, or income generation. A 169 sq m office building mirrors the original home and is fully equipped for accommodating a small professional team, including an IT hub, and security systems. Multiple sheds located on the property, each with power and water access, offer excellent utility.

The land is as impressive as the architecture, featuring beautifully established plantings and a productive garden orchard of summer fruits contributes to the property’s self sufficiency. With three bores on site and existing water consent for irrigation, the land presents outstanding horticultural or agricultural potential, offering versatility for a wide range of lifestyle and productive uses. The owners have also future proofed the property with pipework already in place for a heated swimming pool and gas connections for outdoor entertaining and barbecue facilities.

This property represents a rare convergence of architecture, wellness, land and legacy. It is an exceptional offering, architecturally significant, meticulously executed, and designed to elevate both daily living and long term enjoyment.
