Privately tucked away in 8Ha of native woodland and set in one of the most amazing garden settings in the region is this timeless 4 bedroom + study contemporary solar passive home.
Constructed in the early 80s, this spacious family home reflects the true solar passive design principals of the era all North facing living, floor to ceiling glass to soak up Winter sun, and use of brick and slate to act as a thermal heat bank. The design and d?cor has stood the test of time, however there is scope to modernise and update the home without over capitalising.
The design also captures magnificent garden views from all of the rooms, with the front living spaces overlooking 1 of 3 dams on the property. The home is designed with outdoor courtyard areas offering near year round protection from the weather, and the front of the home provides plenty of room to entertain, with a large outdoor pizza oven.
Step outside and wander through the garden and you are immediately captured by the spectacle of colour and aroma including plantings of camellias, wisteria, weeping cherries, Daphne, and David Austin roses. Established and low maintenance has been the design emphasis of the garden.
