Peacock Cottage was immortalised in the novel "Coasting a year by the Bay' by Susan Kurosawa where she shared a memorable year with her husband the actor Graeme Blundell.
This large extremely private home has elevated views over Hardys Bay. The original cottage has been lovingly restored and still has recycled windows from the old Brisbane Waters' Ferry.
A large high ceiling extension has been added which seamlessly continues the distinct Caribbean beach-style feel of pale timber floors and plantation shutters.
On the first floor is an open free flowing kitchen, living and dining area opening on to a large deck with views of Hardys Bay. Also, on this floor is a bathroom and master bedroom / lounge room
On the second floor are two large bedrooms both with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a deck with views
On the top floor is one large bedroom with a built-in wardrobe , viewing deck and a storage room.
This beautiful home is nestled in a lush tropical garden at the bottom of a 4281 sqm block.
USAGE OF REMAINING LAND
The top of the block is level, tranquil and private with views of both Hardys Bay and Wagstaffe Point and is surrounded by bush and bird life.
This part of the property can be easily accessed via the Hardys Bay Trail or from the house.
From here you can explore the local lands and tracks and discover the remnants and art of the indigenous custodians.
With the proper planning approvals, an "off the grid" permeant ecofriendly dwelling could be easily constructed. For example, a Glamping Pod with solar power, water tanks and a composting toilet.
Consultation with local builders and planners could also establish private access to the second dwelling. The opportunities are endless!
