Created as a quiet sanctuary with room to move both inside and
out, this solar-passive, north facing home sits comfortably amid
native gardens and is surrounded by 180 acres of natural bush.
Designed by Matt Cooney from MJC Design in close consultation with
the vendors, the house was built in 2006 by Paul and Michele Elword
from Ideal Building Solutions. It is defined by its neutral colour
scheme, polished concrete floors, metallic Colorbond cladding, high
ceilings, and its sense of space and light. Each room, including
the bathrooms and laundry, has a view to a different part of the
garden and the bush beyond.
Central to this 270 square metre home is the open plan kitchen and
living room which features stack-back glass doors opening onto the
decks, enabling a crossflow breeze and the feeling of being a part
of the outdoors. The kitchen is large and sunny and features a
walk-in pantry and masses of cupboard space. The laundry has been
designed so that it too has lots of storage enabling everything to
be kept behind cupboard doors.
The upper level features an office and two spacious bedrooms, both
with walk-in wardrobes. The bedrooms have sliding doors onto the
deck and louver windows for controlling the breeze. A large
bathroom with a massive north-facing window separates the bedrooms.
Opposite is a separate toilet. Another large bedroom is on the
lower level, and includes a very generous walk-in wardrobe and an
ensuite which matches the tiling and colour scheme of the main
bathroom. Beach Roman blinds and roller blinds in the same fabric
and neutral colour are featured throughout the home.
An industrial sized, purpose-built, outdoor sail provides shade to
a large part of the deck on hot summer days, but furls back in when
not in use.
A bank of 1.5kw German manufactured solar panels has been installed
on the three-car Colorbond garage and workshop, and an
energy-saving 250 litre Qantum heat pump system supplies the main
hot water.
The vendors have established an easy-care native garden which
attracts abundant native animal and bird life. No introduced bird
species has been seen on the property. An in-ground dripper system
draws water from the dam.
The home is very private and peaceful and can't be seen from the
road, but is only eight minutes from the lovely village of Gundaroo
with its great eateries, highly regarded primary school, and strong
sense of community. Canberra's inner-north is 40 minutes away, and
an easy 2 hour drive to Sydney.
