Set in one of Dinner Plain's most idyllic positions, overlooking the tranquil central reserve, Snow Nest is a family-friendly alpine chalet that wears its character with genuine pride.
Designed by celebrated Australian architect Peter McIntyre, the chalet features exposed timber beams, a commanding open stone fireplace, and an atmosphere that feels immediately, effortlessly right to retreat in all seasons. Thoughtfully modernised without sacrificing an ounce of its rustic soul, interiors have been curated with touches of Danish antique and modern furniture, while the kitchen balances earthy tones with sleek stone benchtops and quality stainless steel appliances.
Cosy daybeds frame the window overlooking the reserve - the perfect perch for a morning coffee while the kids play safely in the snow below.Spread across three well-considered levels, the experience begins at the signature 'keyhole' entry, a charming architectural detail that sets the tone before you've even stepped inside. A generous mudroom fitted with bench seating, ski racks, and a dedicated drying cupboard keeps everything effortlessly organised.
The ground floor unfolds into a light-filled open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space, complete with a family bathroom, WC, and laundry. A rustic central staircase - a feature in its own right - ascends to two bedrooms and a second bathroom, while a further staircase climbs to the attic: four single beds, a TV, and an instant kids' retreat. Off-street parking for two completes the picture.
Designed with a calm, refined aesthetic, Snow Nest combines natural textures and neutral tones with the warmth of authentic mountain architecture and understated Danish-inspired touches - a peaceful sanctuary in every season. Built-in window seating, cosy living spaces, and carefully considered interiors evoke the feel of a boutique mountain lodge, while maintaining the relaxed comfort of a true family retreat.
A rare opportunity to secure an authentic Peter McIntyre chalet where enduring craftsmanship, understated design, and alpine living come together in perfect harmony.
