The northern pavilion of the home is the living area with commanding cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling walls of glass which allow plenty of natural light while enhancing the wonderful outlook. These areas open out to the extensive entertaining decks which adjoin the huge wet edge pool.
The main room has a fireplace with combustion heater and wood box, a TV/stereo centre and enough space for large sitting areas and a dining room.

The kitchen is enormous and fitted out with everything the most serious chef could want. Wide stainless steel benches open out through Bi-fold windows and servery bar to service the northern deck and pool areas.

All appliances are European Kleenmaid and feature a professional 6-burner gas stove with ultra wide self-cleaning electric oven and range hood.

The master bedroom has a fabulous ensuite with bath, separate shower, double vanity, heated towel rails and a very generous dressing room with built-in wardrobes.

Three of the other four bedrooms open out onto a wide terrace which overlooks the garden. Three of these rooms also have private ensuites, ideal when the entire family are preparing for a night out at the same time.

In addition to the kids/guest bedrooms areas with three bedrooms the lower level also has a wide gallery-style hallway, huge wine cellar, storage room and a large garage with a workbench.

The house is situated down a long, private driveway about 12 minutes from Noosa Beach. Enjoys extensive views east to the coast, Noosa Hill, Sunrise Beach, Lake Weyba.

The landscaping has been a labour of love by Sydney garden designer, and owner, Michele Shennen who started the project 12 months before any construction to give the plants time to mature. All gardens are serviced by watering systems.

A separate pathway up to the house gives the entire entrance statement a formality that suits a house of this stature.

At the house, through two tall dark ceramic feature walls you enter, to the left, up an elegant flight of stairs beside a garden, across a bridge over the internal garden to the breezeway. The view to the coast as you approach is stunning.

In inclement weather a second front door, a large pivot door to match the surrounding finishes but unobtrusive, can be used to avoid guests getting wet.

The northern deck, beyond the kitchen, has planting on two sides with established shade trees let into the deck. A water feature on the north wall provides the whole area with a cool ambience.

The floors in the hallways downstairs and in the cellar are in rumbled French Pattern travertine.

The bedrooms downstairs are carpeted in a luxurious wool blend in a dark brown to compliment the exterior wall colours. Light fittings are a combination of low voltage downlights and energy efficient lights. The open tread stairs to the upper level are polished in the same manner as the floors upstairs which are wide profile, screwed and plugged blackbutt, polished in Tungy oil.

The breezeway is rumbled travertine and the study is carpeted. Bathrooms have floor to ceiling 600 x 300mm polished white tiles. Vanities are in two pack poly with self closing drawers and a Caesar stone top. All bathrooms have heated towel rails. Basins and taps are of the very highest quality.

The house walls are of a revolutionary product called Kool-wall which is an insulating material like the foam used in portable coolers. It is skinned then rendered and gives the house real protection against the summer heat and winter's cool nights.

The entire living area is reverse cycle ducted air-conditioned as is the upper bedroom pavilion. Downstairs all three bedrooms are split systems. There is also a back to base security alarm system and intercom from the front gates.

An alarm system is in place with two touch pads and when the phone line is connected will provide back to base monitoring. The front gates have an intercom base on both levels and hand sets for the car to operate both the gates and garage door.

The complete family home in this very desirable location.
