Set over an incredible 100 acres of native bushland, the main residence is a well planned 450 m2 architecturally designed passive solar home in a relaxed “Beach House” theme.

The home takes full advantage of the north east orientation and water views, with the fundamental design based on energy efficient, passive solar design which includes eave overhangs allowing winter warming and summer protection to all rooms.

Using a mixture of building materials including rendered Hebbel block, Mill Wood Weathertex boards and a Colourbond skillion roof, the result is spectacular and nearly maintenance free.

The afternoon summer breezes gently cool the home through louvered windows to the bedrooms and utility rooms. The seamless glass walls, windows and glass doors facing east provide an uninterrupted view over Warrell Creek to the Gaagal Wanggaan National Park, which is a 300 m wide strip peninsula running parallel to the Pacific Ocean from Scotts Head to Nambucca.

Low maintenance natural rock landscaping blends well with the native bushland surrounds, together with water gardens, palms and bridge work, make interesting features at the entry.

Leading off the outdoor living area is a 300 m2 lawn with an established Canary Island Date Palm making a statement against the natural bush and water views.

The main living area consists of open plan living comprising well proportioned kitchen, dining and living room, all taking advantage of the exceptional outlook. There is a modern two pack finish kitchen with granite bench tops, European stainless steel appliances and 5 m central breakfast and preparation bench. Leading off the kitchen is a ‘butler’s pantry’ for bulk storage and additional food preparation space.

Adjoining the living area, the dining area can easily accommodate a 14 to 16 seat table and features a Lopi combustion fireplace and two 3 m wide glass sliding doors.

The light and airy feel generated in the main living area by the extensive use of glass and high raked ceiling is complimented by the earthy use of timber on the floors, a partial timber ceiling feature and exposed steel support beam above the windows. Glass sliding doors to the main living area which, when open, merge the indoor and covered outdoor living/alfresco dining areas, the home also has reverse cycle air-conditioning, adding to your comfort all year round.

The outdoor living area is a porcelain tiled area with a clear sheeting cover and positioned off the main living area where glass sliding doors open and take full advantage of the stunning water views.

There is a separate carpeted study located between the kitchen and master suite, which could be used as a crèche due to the proximity to the master suite. The study is also fitted with connections to fully integrated cable system for networking throughout the home.

The family room/home theatre room with its raked ceiling, reverse cycle air-conditioning and carpeted floor, comes complete with raised floor section and this utility room, which is close to the children’s bedrooms, provides a separate living space to be enjoyed by the family. The integrated sound and data cable hub is also located in this room as the control station for the home.

There is a large, raked ceiling rumpus room with a tiled floor which has plenty of room for a billiard table and other furniture, which could double as a separate guest living area, fitted with its own kitchen, and still leaving the family with two other living spaces to enjoy.

The raked ceiling and well proportioned master bedroom is carpeted and is privately located at the southern end of the home. It would easily fit a king size bed with space left for parents retreat furniture, and has a good sized walk in robe. The en suite is fitted with a double sized shower with modern glass screen, spa bath with a view over the water, quality fixtures and fittings, floor to ceiling tiles with porcelain tile features.

The three family bedrooms are located north of the main living area, and also feature raked ceiling, carpet floor covering and are generous in size, each with built in robes. Glass sliding doors allow access to the lawn area from each bedroom and all have views over Warrell Creek and native gardens.

The main bathroom is floor to ceiling tiles and features quality fittings, a bath and an oversized shower with a view into a private garden. There is also a separate powder room.

The guest accommodation, also with raked ceiling and carpeted floor covering, is located at the northern end of the home, and this bedroom has its own en suite, private access and runs off one side of the family rumpus room which is fitted with a kitchen.

A 5 car garage with ample storage space is located at the southern end of the home with easy access into the residence from the laundry.

Other features include a 95,000 litre in ground concrete water tank, an emergency sprinkler fire fighting system with self priming petrol pump, 10,000 litre concrete water tank, double anodised aluminium windows and doors and the house frame is constructed using blue pine framing for termite control.

Located 100 m south of the main residence is a 210 m2 colourbond steel A-frame building with a fully equipped loft studio apartment which could also be used as a storage shed.

The apartment features a full size kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living area and balcony off living area with water views, and below this is a workshop, 2 car garage and storage for boats or jet skis with access via a roller door.

Located 100 m north of the main residence is a 300 m2 high bay Colourbond machinery shed with 3 high bay roller doors for easy access for tractor or boat storage. Internally there is provision for a separate sound studio and bathroom facilities, and water collection from the roof is stored in two 10,000 litre poly tanks.

The property comes with Council approval for the construction of a 110 m2 dual occupancy type dwelling located on the opposite side of the 5 car garage to the main house, giving ample separation. Plans are available, pier footings are poured and power and telecom services are to site.

The surrounding landscaping comprises a well maintained lawn, fruit trees, vegetable garden and feature palm trees and shrubs against a lush, bush backdrop, with full privacy from the road frontage via a subtle driveway access.

There is also a drive on boat ramp to Warrell Creek for launching of your toys … boats, jet skis or sailing craft and there is a grassed sandbank area close to the main residence allowing you to enjoy all these water sports and activities. You also have your own private jetty!

Warrell Creek is approximately 100 m wide along the eastern boundary of the property and it is a saltwater, tidal creek which adjoins the Nambucca River just north of the property. Activities available include bank and boat fishing, spear fishing, snorkelling, swimming, water skiing, jet skiing or general boating. Once you cross Warrell Creek from the property you reach a National Park peninsular which separates the Pacific Ocean from the creek.

From here it is approximately 250 m walk to the golden sands of Forster Beach, known locally as Big Beach, where you can enjoy surfing, swimming or fishing. Dolphins regularly pass the property in search of food and the wildlife is amazing from nesting osprey to inquisitive kangaroos. You can also take an easy and short boat trip to Nambucca Heads township where you can pick up groceries, have lunch, catch a movie or play a round of golf at the Nambucca Island Golf Club.

Macksville township is 9 km by car and has local schools, hotel, general shops and restaurants and a new Woolworths Supermarket complex, and bus services run from Macksville to adjoining townships daily, including Coffs Harbour, which gives you access to private schools, university, TAFE, regional hospital and specialists.

Coffs Harbour airport has multiple daily services to Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne from major airlines and is just over one hour’s travel time from the property.
