BOAT ACCESS ONLY - VIEW BY APPOINTMENT - PH 0439 647 777
Imagine for a moment a marvellous home, nestled in a serene and secluded location, hidden behind the mangrove canopy from passing traffic yet offering uninterrupted water views. Surrounded by National Park on 3 sides, with the waters edge at the front, you can revel in the complete peace of your own private paradise. Overlooking neighbours will never be an issue. All of these dreams are possible in this utterly unique historic hideaway.
Built around 1870, this beautiful sandstone establishment sits on stone pillars. Lovingly renovated in 2003, Collins & Turners architects were engaged to create a stylish and modern retreat worthy of both history books and any architectural magazine. The timber floors throughout provide a warm and welcoming feel from within, while the sweeping double wrap-around verandas offer plenty of space to entertain or simply relax and enjoy the views beyond.
The home exudes style and sophistication over two luxurious levels. For instance, the kitchen is a chef's dream, with exquisite Corian benchtops, a large kitchen island, and a combustion heater, while the large main bathroom features dual basins and statement fittings.
Explore a little further, and you'll also discover other handy delights, like the easily accessed under-house storage at standing height, new water tanks, gas hot water system, and a generator hard-lined to the house. The main power source is via roof-mounted photovoltaics, and the thermal mass of this sandstone masterpiece provides a natural method of cooling and heating.
Moreover, the property welcomes treasured moments spent outdoors, such as frolicking among the grounds' vast grassed yard and existing landscaped garden or taking off on boating or fishing adventures from the private jetty and pontoon, providing easy entry to the river at all tides.
