Intelligently designed with sleek, minimalist interiors of glass, polished concrete, timber and rammed earth that blend seamlessly with its environment, this gorgeous family home features light-filled open plan living, a spacious office, stunning kitchen, elevated decks and a large powered workshop. Using passive solar design principles such as correct orientation, insulation, cross-ventilation and thermal mass, this home has been designed to make the best use of sustainable heating and cooling methods to minimise energy costs.
Elevated to capture views of the spectacular Wandoo-filled surrounds, this iron-clad house is built on steel pylons with a floating, insulated concrete floor. Rustic timber walkways with recessed LED lighting lead you to the front door, which draws you into the spectacular north-facing open plan kitchen, meals and lounge area. Walls of plate glass and louvre windows bring nature inside and facilitate great airflow. A rammed earth blade wall and beautiful polished concrete provides thermal mass to capture radiant winter heat. A slow combustion fire in the corner of the lounge and ducted evaporative cooling through the floor helps keep things comfortable. The huge elevated alfresco deck with its removable shade sail provides valuable shading during summer, not to mention, a magnificent spot to entertain friends and family.
A stunning kitchen by anyone s estimation, it features pretty rose quartz granite benchtops, Tasmanian Oak cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, freestanding DeLonghi double electric oven and gas cooktop, and integrated dishwasher. Pull up a stool at the island bench to enjoy breakfast bathed in sunlight and a tranquil view across the valley.
The spacious, beautiful bedrooms have rammed earth feature walls, built-in robes (in two), soft wool carpet underfoot, fans and banks of windows with blinds and louvres that fill the rooms with sunshine and fresh air. They share a sleek bathroom with cool green mosaic tiles and stainless steel fittings including a water-saving device in the shower. The luxurious master is similarly decorated with an ensuite in charcoal mosaic tiles and a massive walk-in robe with glass shelving.
Several multi-purpose rooms within this home afford flexibility in your living arrangements. For example, the largest of the junior bedrooms is plenty big enough to be a kids games room and/or there is an additional activity space or formal dining room, depending on your needs. The latter is bookended by large sliding timber doors that, when opened, create a seamless space from the huge office at the end right through to the kitchen. Honey blonde Tasmanian Oak has been used throughout the home on the doors, cabinetry and built-in desks in the magnificent office. Sitting at your expansive desk, gazing out across the bush through glorious big windows will inspire your creativity.
There is a lofty double carport and an adjoining large workshop with concrete floor, sink, double swing doors and a mezzanine storage level. While Mum and Dad are busy with projects in the shed, the kids will be happily occupied in their own awesome elevated cubbyhouse with front deck or on the circular concrete bike racetrack.
If you have little green thumbs, they ll love picking homegrown vegies and hunting for earthworms in your own organic patch. Well-fenced and partly shaded, it has four rammed earth wicking beds and another four corrugated iron beds plus a chicken enclosure and many fruit trees including citrus, plums, pomegranate, mulberry, loquat and almond.
While the property is connected to scheme water, it also has several rainwater tanks totalling 46,560L of storage capacity. There are two fire hose reels (at the shed and house) linked to a dedicated fire supply main, which can be operated via a fuel or electric pump.
The rest of this 10-acre property is untouched light bush land interspersed with Wandoo, Marri and Sheoak timbers. You may feel a million miles away on this secluded, tranquil property but in reality, you re only a few minutes away from Bakers Hill, which has its own lovely primary school, close to Northam where you can do all your major shopping and still within comfortable commuting distance of Perth.
