This superbly positioned, spacious, beautiful brick home set high on McLeans Ridges on 1 acre, offers the optimal private and peaceful lifestyle. From the moment you drive in to the circular white gravel driveway that encompasses a beautiful private rainforest grove, you know that you are entering a sanctuary. This house is solid, dependable, praised by master builders as even cyclone proof; it will house you and your dreams, whatever they may be. Walking into the main living area, the high ceilings and beautiful timber floorboards give a sense of space and warmth. The master bedroom with ensuite (both with under-floor heating) is at one end of this single-level home, with the remaining bedrooms at the other end, allowing plenty of space and privacy without being too far away if there are little one's in the house. The light-filled kitchen and dining room are configured to face the stunning glass-fenced pool and the valley views beyond. The main bathroom also has a spa and a steam shower where you can even pick the colour light you wish to filter through the steam. Entering the backyard, there is a massive 15.5m x 5.5m swimming pool that absolutely glistens, surrounded by lawns and palm trees and featuring a premium Oasis X Series pool heater - a whisper-quiet, energy-efficient, reverse-cycle heater - for year-round swimming, even in very cold weather. This pool will sustain you in summer, and in winter, you can lie back in the steam and watch the moon and stars. Gardens and lawns surround the home. They are established and colourful without significant maintenance needs, and varieties of vintage roses that smell like roses should! There is a separate recording studio/home office professionally converted into an ultra soundproof creative space using advanced 'room within a room' acoustic construction techniques, built to exacting acoustic engineering specifications. If you're a podcaster, it is perfect. And for the ultimate in home office, you can have Zoom meetings that require absolute privacy and no disturbance. This is it. If you are a musician, this recording studio has been said to be one of the best listening structures in the region by visiting musicians. To protect your cars, there is a double carport at the front and a single carport at the side with additional lock-up storage. Summer? Not a problem. The pool is there, as is the air conditioning, solid brick walls and Colourbond fully insulated ceilings, keeps the house cool just like it should. Winter? Again, not a problem; the slow combustion woodburning heater in the spacious open-plan living and breakfast dining area, with the kitchen adjoining, warms the whole house. There is 76,000 L of tank water fitted with a filter and pH balancer in the kitchen. And yes, this property looks out to stunning long-range views.
