185 Ringwood Road, Exeter

A curved architectural masterpiece teetering on the edge of the world, 'Aisgeir' must be viewed to be believed. Designed to capture 180-degree escarpment views, this extraordinary home on 20 pristine acres, appears to float in pure seclusion above Meryla state forest, and yet it is a four-minute drive to the village of Exeter with its excellent café and lively community hub. Meticulously designed to complement a focus on passive solar design, energy efficiency and thermal performance, it offers extensive solar panels, double glazing and rammed earth walls for heat banks and thermal efficiency. Hydronic heaters are installed throughout the home. Offering four adjoining pavilions built around a curved central hub for enhanced views from every room, it is designed for harmonious family and work-space separation. There are four beautiful bedrooms with views, three bathrooms and an oversized study/studio and separate media room adjoining the spectacular central kitchen/living area – the true heart of the home. A double garage completes the picture. With views that defy imagination and with privacy assured, each aspect of this home offers artistic and design integrity: it has been conceived by two creatives for their family with diverse interests: space and separation as well as harmonious family areas were cleverly considered and delivered. With its stylish use of interior timber and bespoke finishes, banks of bi-fold doors that open the home to the dramatic exterior landscaping, and a central fireplace to provide the ultimate gathering place, this contemporary heart-stopper is utterly unique. Best of all, your ultimate countryside escape is just five minutes to the coveted Exeter village, fifteen minutes to the happening hub of Moss Vale and renowned Tudor House School, and a further ten minutes to Bowral, with all the Southern Highlands' magical boutiques, schools and restaurants at your fingertips. 'Aisgeir' – seclusion, style and serenity at the edge of the world.
