1191 Norton Road, Wamboin, NSW 2620 Resort style sustainable living

Privacy has become more important than ever, and being able to leave work to return to a peaceful haven with beautiful rural views is on top of many homebuyers lists. 1191 Norton Road is set back from the street, hidden at the end of a private driveway and defined by wonderful seclusion, 'Cockatoo' is a great example of relaxed resort-style living. The home is thoughtfully sited to be protected from the winter westerlies on approximately 15HA of open grassland and bushland, and this breathtaking sanctuary backs onto an extensive greenway network which provides hours of walking, mountain-biking or horse riding pleasure.

Beautifully designed by Fasham Johnson, this Loft Lindbeck built north-facing, solar passive residence features five large bedrooms. It includes a segregated master with an ensuite, walk-in-robe and parent's retreat/study, a formal lounge room with a slow-combustion wood fire, a fully refurbished kitchen that overlooks the dining and open plan living areas, and a separate family TV room with a slow combustion heater. With high ceilings throughout, and vaulted ceilings in the living areas there is a great sense of space and light. Typical of the design is the extensive use of glass throughout the house, all the rooms have views with the cedar framed glazing overlooking the outdoor entertaining areas, the beautiful in-ground swimming pool, the gazebo and gardens to the beautiful rural views beyond.

The landscaping is elegant, well-established and low maintenance. The extensive native plantings support a wonderful and diverse birdlife. Larger exotic trees include birch, manchurian pear, chinese elm and other ornamental varieties planted throughout the garden to provide shade in summer. For those who admire our amazing native flora and fauna, this property offers wonderful remnant bush land with beautiful wildflowers including native orchids and it supports vibrant bird life, including the endangered scarlet robins who are regular visitors.
