From a small cottage on five acres, this now expansive home sits splendid amongst beautiful gardens artfully crafted to blend with the surrounding native bushland.
Designed by architect Peter Dorreen to incorporate sublime Japanese and modern architectural styles, this styling continues out into the gardens with Japanese water gardens and riots of colour to contrast the green of the surrounding bushland.
Driving down the driveway to this very private home, one is instantly engaged with the rural and coastal panorama opening up before you, and then the home appears. Built into the hillside it draws your eyes in. A triple garage with magnificent dark lustrous doors imported from New Zealand, a beautiful raised entrance portico and perfectly designed connections between gutters and downpipes, the copper capping on the exposed ends of rafters and columns. There is detail everywhere in the subtle lines of this home.
The Portico entrance opens to reveal stunning rural and coastal vistas, views over the gardens and swimming pool. Sunshine cascades in from the large floor to ceiling windows that have been liberally incorporated into the design. High ceilings with beautiful beams add structure and space to this beautiful home.
Walking down the book lined corridor the space opens up into the heart of the home. A well equipped kitchen, large dining area and comfy lounge area encased by views as far as the eye can see. An open fire reassures our senses of the warmth and comfort in the cold of winter and beautiful louvered windows give us the promise of cooling summer breezes. This is a home that tugs at your heart.
From the generous guest suite with its own ensuite and walk in robe, to the sumptuous master suite with its full bathroom, walk in robe and private deck to enjoy views to Coolangatta Mountain, this home is sure to please. Bedroom three has its own ensuite with built in robe and bedroom 4 is perfect for the little ones.
Away from the hustle and bustle of family area is a fantastic studio. This would be ideal for someone wanting to work from home or even as a self-contained accommodation for long term guests. It is currently used as an artists studio by the current owners, who could not help but be inspired by the beautiful views from this room.
Outside garden rooms, water features and another large studio shed are dotted across the property. There are also stable buildings and 3 fully fenced paddocks ideal for horses.
The swimming pool with its natural surrounds is totally in keeping with the garden theme of this beautiful property. Small gazebos, arbours and bowers have been strategically placed throughout the gardens to sit and quietly contemplate the peace and serenity of this special place – and of course the views – always the views, for they are simply stunning.
There is so much more to this beautiful property than we can possibly write here, you need to come and see for yourself everything it has to offer.
