Tallebudgera Valley QLD 4228

Around the entire elevated, split level building, runs a wide, covered verandah offering captivating views and protection to enjoy sunsets, breezes, and the rolling clouds that mist over the mountains.

For horse lovers, the property has fenced paddocks, and a private, all-weather surface dressage arena enclosed by steel panel fencing. Adjacent to the home is a stable and feed storage facility attached to the huge shed from which rain feeds three tanks. Currently, the present owner uses half the shed as a studio, and the other half as garage, and storage space. A covered concrete verandah, 3.5 x 15 metres runs along the length of the shed on the western front. A separate toilet and electricity connection, complete the shed complex.

Inside the home, a lofty curved, split iron roof, hovers above generous rooms, and allows light from clerestory windows to illuminate the interior and provide ventilation.

The room layout follows classical simplicity, and offers harmonious and balancing energy immediately creating a sense of Feng Shui relaxation as you cross the inviting, wide deck to enter the genkan' where coats and outside garb can be doffed.

Immediately, stepping inside the atrium, space absorbs any tension you might carry from work worries. The high ceilings follow the curve of a hidden steel structure that supports the roof from which fans in all rooms quietly do their job with efficient constancy. A solar system on the roof is a bonus engine' supplying the electricity in daylight hours.

The kitchen is a cook's delight with pure marble benches accentuating the natural, wider than average, blackbutt polished timber flooring. Everything in this house is honest and natural. The marble box window in front of the main sink (there are two in this kitchen) offers a space for pots of herbs to frame the view to the back lawn, and ease to pick as you cook.

The spacious lounge, and main dining room, are to the south-east of the atrium as a wing that can be enclosed by folding doors. The impressive large area is semi-divided by a half-wall that houses a Jetmaster See Thru gas fire that heats both rooms efficiently. Or, if the folding doors are open, a wall Jetmaster fire in the Atrium, contributes to heating the expansive entertaining and kitchen areas. Sliding glass doors invite smooth movement through the home and give access to paved outside areas north and south.

Bedrooms, the main with ensuite, bathroom, laundry and bed-office, are a few steps down to the west of the atrium. Again, generous room proportions continue the theme of air-flow with the same high, curved ceilings. Air-conditioning has been installed in the main bedroom and bed-office to facilitate sleep or work when temperature is excessive.

Under floor power points in both the kitchen and bed-study, double power points throughout, and external power points front and back give convenient access to power inside and outside the home.

Underneath the bedroom wing are three five-thousand-gallon rainwater tanks. Crim-mesh screens are fixed to all external doors and windows.

On the land, an abundance of trees has been planted for strategic autumn colouring, and flowers to attract Australian lorikeets and other beautiful birds.

The home is situated in the middle of the six acres that extend east to natural gum bushland anchoring the hillside. Recent clearing provides a strategic fire-break to facilitate access for the near-by fire brigade if such necessity arises. Happily, the fire station is only five minutes away housed at George Dacca Bramley Park, where recreation, dog walking, and horse riding and training facilities are located.

Only a fifteen-minute drive to schools, train, shopping, medical facilities, beaches, and an array of good eating restaurants and cafes, the location and lifestyle offered by this unique property is highly sought after. The Coolangatta airport is twenty minutes away.
