Mountain Views

The peace and tranquility found at this property is literally palpable, set in its own rainforest paradise with spring fed dam and an absolute abundance of wildlife including many species of birds, koalas, possums, goannas and lots more.  In this nature lovers haven, it’s hard to describe the joy derived from watching and sharing with the many regular visitors who love the ‘bush tucker’ and appreciate the abundance of permanent water in the dam.

The home itself, and indeed the whole property, could well be described as a work of art and it is certainly filled with love.  You enter via some easy timber steps and cross the wide covered deck as you take in the splendor of the handcrafted mud bricks and the selected local hardwoods used throughout.  The timber entry foyer previews what is to come as you pass through the dining area with French doors to the back deck looking through the Bangalow palms and other rainforest species over the personal pond and rockery with flowing water feature to the gulley with the dam below.

The inside kitchen is open plan and features a new 6 burner gas cook top with extra big electric oven, together with good bench space and island bench (all timber of course), timber cupboards, double sink and walk in pantry complete with Mahogany shelves.  The outside kitchen is on the wide covered deck and offers a 4 burner gas BBQ/oven together with an electric oven/cooktop, timber bench and cupboards, and single sink set against a feature mud brick wall.

The central stone fireplace is a magnificent feature in the open plan living area complete with turpentine mantel and generous hearth.  This room also opens through French doors to the back deck and enjoys that magnificent rainforest outlook with birds flitting from tree to tree and treating you with their special songs.

Bedroom 2 is approx 4m x 4m with French doors to the back deck while the main bedroom is approx 4m x 5m with 2 sets of French doors – one to a private covered deck, one to the magnificent outside bathroom deck complete with claw foot bath and hand held shower, designer hand basin set in a feature timber slab and more magnificent rainforest views.

The inside bathroom is nice and light thanks to timber windows and skylight and offers a spacious glass shower and double timber vanity with natural stone tiles, the separate toilet is adjacent.  All the internal doors are solid timber with leadlight features handcrafted by local artisans.

The separate studio continues the handcrafted mud brick and timber theme and offers split level living/bedroom/office space, leadlight timber windows and open bathroom/laundry with shower, toilet and sink.

On the practical side there are 2 carports, a lockable workshop and garden shed, 2 x 25,000 litre rain water tanks to house & studio, the new solar hot water heater is a great addition, and the fireplace has a ‘self-cleaning’ chute to under the house and the natural beauty of this property is simply unsurpassed.

The original owners had a vision for a luxuriously natural home set in the lush local rainforest and blending the two together.  The current owners have continued in the true heart of this vision and the love lavished on this property since its creation is testimony to how special it is.  If this sounds like a vision that you could continue then call to view at a time that suits you.
