Nestled at the end of an 800m driveway, behind secure gates and surrounded by 14 acres of breathtaking natural beauty, this custom-built rammed earth sanctuary is the epitome of harmonious living. Designed to embrace a minimalist footprint while celebrating its stunning surroundings, this property offers a free-range lifestyle that bridges rustic charm and contemporary sophistication. Opposite the lush expanse of the Doongalla Forest with its endless walking tracks, and just minutes from urban conveniences, it?s where country living meets the city?s edge - a rare and captivating retreat in one of the area?s most exclusive precincts.
Architectural and design brilliance includes polished concrete floors, exposed brick and timber walls, soaring raked ceilings, and louvre windows that make the home feel grounded yet effortlessly stylish. The open-plan living and meals area is warmed by a wood fire and anchored by a stone-topped kitchen, complete with a stainless-steel oven, Miele BBQ grill, induction cooktop and an integrated dishwasher. It?s a chef?s haven, perfect for slow Sundays crafting meals while gazing out at the ever-changing landscape.
The main bedroom, a tranquil retreat, is thoughtfully positioned off the living area, while two additional bedrooms in their own wing are paired with a family bathroom and a spacious secondary living space the kids can make their own. Outside, the charm continues with an alfresco area, an outdoor bathtub for moments of pure serenity, and vistas that stretch endlessly over the landscape.
Adding further lifestyle appeal are seven fenced paddocks, a stable with three horse boxes, and a drive-through shed catering to equestrian or farming pursuits, while a cricket pitch with nets promises hours of family fun. Fruit trees (lemon, lime, mandarin), passionfruit vines, blackberries, vegetable patches, and a hen house invite you to embrace self-sufficiency, with fresh eggs, vibrant produce, and the joy of cultivating your own farmlet or permaculture dreams. For the dreamers, a water capture area could transform into a natural swimming pool, while the serene dam is perfect for a refreshing dip or simply admiring its wildlife.
Adding versatility is a separate studio featuring two bedrooms, a living/meals area, a bathroom, and its own wood fire - ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, home business, or creative pursuits.
From the chorus of kookaburras to the playful visits of wallabies, kingfishers, finches, and white faced herons and the hum of native bees among flourishing native plantings, this property is alive with the rhythms of nature. A place to live, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.
