A Castle of Tranquillity
Unique, private, luxurious and comfortable.
A rare sanctuary where architecture, nature and tranquillity come together - just minutes from the CBD.
Custom built with a clear purpose; this home was designed to meet the challenges of unpredictable weather conditions. Its proximity to a flood-prone area required extensive engineering and significant investment in structural reinforcement to create a modern, flood-resilient home.
The owners were keen to build as innovatively as possible while blending the home with its environment. Unique ideas often take time and considerable effort to bring to life. Over 20 years, the owners have worked to fulfil their philosophy - "nature comes to you" - allowing the garden to grow and strengthen its connection with the native surroundings.
What was once a substantial structure of concrete, blocks and steel has gradually been embraced by established plants and connected to serenity. Every part of this generous home enjoys the luxury of long, uninterrupted views - a unity with nature that no one can take away from you.
The rooms dance with natural light and the reflections from the small lake, creating a constantly changing atmosphere throughout the day. With panoramic windows, the house opens itself to the beauty of the sky. Spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed from most rooms and throughout the outdoor living areas, filling the home with the evening magic. Every sunset is different - a constantly changing natural masterpiece, with front-row seats from the comfort of your own home.
Beyond the enjoyment of seeing the horizon without the restrictions of fences, the home offers exceptional functionality. Large Comfort+ doors and windows, a spacious deck and balconies, and open-plan kitchen and living areas connect the indoors with the outdoors.
The four supersized bedrooms, all with built-in robes, and three separate living areas provide generous space for family life. The home can also be easily adapted to accommodate up to six bedrooms, with two rooms currently used as an office and gym.
Three toilets and three bathrooms help keep family life running smoothly. The master bathroom features a large spa bath equipped with multiple jets. The spa's pipework and pump have been renewed and are ready to use. New, high-quality toilets and shower screens have also been installed for the convenience of the new owners.
The chef's kitchen combines striking blue granite benchtops and splashbacks with metallic two-pack painted cabinetry. Exceptionally spacious and functional, it features reputable-brand appliances, a walk-in pantry, numerous drawers, two double sinks and a freshwater filter. A dedicated hot-water service for the kitchen delivers warm water almost instantly.
Storage is another strength of this home, with four separate storage areas inside. The extensive covered shelving and storage area in the garage, which accommodates two 4WDs, all council bins, your mower - and still leaves room to spare!
The home is well insulated from floor to ceiling. The central heating system was replaced only a few years ago, while the hot-water unit and air conditioning were replaced this year. The gas fireplace is a real treat on cold winter days. Despite the generous size of the home, it remains exceptionally warm in winter and cool in summer.
Lighting throughout the house has been upgraded to energy-efficient LEDs. Fans, switches and power points have also been replaced with modern fittings, and the number of power points and switches exceeds standard requirements. The outdoor lighting has been renewed with new light fittings.
The property offers many more interesting and practical features that are best discovered during an inspection. We would be delighted to show you.
The garden is fully serviced by automatic irrigation systems. A stormwater management system is also installed, while a bore and pump provide an additional water source for emergencies. Numerous town-water taps around the outdoor areas add further convenience.
Whether you are looking for a spacious family home with room for children to grow, or a glamorous home office for professionals seeking a more inspiring way of life, this property offers something special. Here, even an ordinary day can feel like a holiday.
This is a home that helps you escape the trap of routine existence. It is an investment in yourself, as much as in a property.
Stepping away from the demands of our busy lives and reconnecting with nature can bring a renewed sense of wellbeing. Here, you become a permanent witness to the endless mystery of the ecosystem and the extraordinary lives of wild birds, with nature taking centre stage from the windows of your own home.
A property of this character, with its established landscape, distinctive architecture and remarkable natural setting, is not something that can easily be recreate.
This home will impress you even more than the photographs can convey.
Please contact us to arrange an inspection and experience this unique property with your own eyes.
