On Bribie Island there is a little known enclave, known as Whitepatch which is the gateway to the National Park. Protected by Environmental, National and Marine Parks, 86% of Bribie Island will remain unchanged ensuring the natural beauty will remain for future generations to enjoy.
From bohemian artists to world class designers this community is peppered with residents with one common desire ? to live in a location ? where beach and bush meet. You can be what you wish to be ? recluse or extravert.
Affectionately dubbed ?The Tin House? by locals, this Paul Wallace designed solar passive residence is all you would expect of the architect. Superbly positioned for light and breeze the home is at one with the environment. Spread over three levels, designed to capture the cool northeast breezes off the water in summer and the warmth of the fireplace in winter. An east facing sunroom ? fully screened ? allows alfresco living all year round.
Functionally there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a massive soaking tub (in the main bedroom). The rear of the house opens up to the enclosed patio, and there are bush views from your living areas.
There is a double shed as well as a hobby shed ? great for woodworking or pottery. The back yard, except for the vegetable garden, has been left in its natural state with Callistemon, Banksia and Paperbarks all attracting the native birds.
Across the road, is the foreshore of Whitepatch. Imagine being able to walk on your Beach every day just metres from your bush hideaway.
