Once in a lifetime- own your own retreat!
With heavenly scenery and a true escape from reality, this property is a rare opportunity to have 'glimpses from heaven' from your very own door step. The house appears to have been air-lifted into this unique spot- surrounded by first-generation native bush & gardens that have been carefully created to look as if nothing has been disturbed. Nature is first here with tracks that trail all through the 7 hectares offering bush walks & birdsong & frequently wild deer.
The panorama is breathtaking - one that embraces an extensive part of Western Bay, ocean & off-shore islands. The house was designed around the views, scenery & the sun. On any clear day you can even see White Island. Built around 9 years ago, the house is constructed from extra-supported board & batten to complement nature. Every detail is customised with individual design and finish. Among the many stand-out features are the huge macrocarpa rafters & beams that brace ceilings in the vaulted lounge- rising to a staggering 7.5 metres to the apex. Even from the mezzanine lounge above the lounge, this cathedral design highlights the magnitude of this build. Battened linings between the rafters and wrought iron chandeliers add contrast and class to this rustic but modern decor. There is a cast-iron log fire which sits neatly in a brick surround, heat transfer system, plus diesel fuelled underfloor heating downstairs.
A separate room above the garage is a delightful surprise- with its own entry, the room has a range of uses & there is potential to install amenities to make it self contained. Set a little way from the house is a separate shed. Fully lined & insulated - including the barn doors - this shed even has a log fire, bathroom & kitchenette. Clearings dotted around the property pose potential for high-end chalets for the ultimate guest retreat. The possibilities are endless.
