? Peaceful 8-acre retreat

? Beautiful three-bedroom brick home

? Spectacular rural views

With elevated views that will take your breath away, this slice of private Australian bush is just nine-kilometres from the thriving village of Candelo on the pristine Sapphire Coast. Set in the foothills of Myrtle Mountain, this tranquil 8.8-acre retreat has both a large cleared section of lush lawn and gardens at the front of the house, and rambling natural bush at the back.

With a harmonious balance of colourful artistic aesthetics and earthy country style,

the home has numerous bespoke, character-enhancing features including raked ceilings, green-hued slate floors and timber windows and doors.

The home's north-facing, open-plan kitchen/dining/living area has great natural light from large windows and captivating views out over the rolling pastoral country of the Candelo district towards the mountains in the distance. The bespoke cabinet-maker kitchen was installed two years ago and includes an induction cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, Caesarstone benchtops and under-cabinet lighting. The rest of the home's thoughtful lighting plan includes adjustable lighting with practical and mood settings via interesting fittings. The second sitting room has a compact freestanding Clean Air wood heater which efficiently warms the home and generates minimum emissions, and the home's double-brick construction provides natural thermal insulation. A 16-panel solar system (6.4KW) also keeps electricity bills low.

The main bedroom features spectacular east-facing views looking towards the Wolumla Peak escarpment, a large double built-in wardrobe and compact ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three are both good-sized and also feature large built-in wardrobes. Both the main bathroom - with separate deep-soak bath and large shower ? as well as the laundry, are generously sized with lots of extra storage space. There's also a large double linen cupboard in the hallway.

Outside there's a very large carport with a high peaked roof and extra space at the front for a workshop bench, as well as a lock-up Colourbond shed towards the back of the block, perfect for storing a boat, camper trailer or other large items. A beautiful travertine paved area off the front of the house is the perfect spot for a barbecue and outdoor dining table overlooking the garden and the beautiful countryside vista beyond.

This private and peaceful property, which has easy main road access, is ideal for native bird and animal watching and collecting windfall kindling and wood. The property has a 100,000L (approx.) rainwater tank and a Biocycle septic system which utilises the home's grey water to irrigate the lawns and garden.

'The Alpin' is a short drive from the inviting community of Candelo with its popular seven-day-a-week general store and caf?, post office, pub and service station.
