A taste of the good life beckons at this supreme property. Perched on an elevated 4562sqm block and located in a secure community of just 21 homes, this spectacular split-level residence on exclusive gated acreage is close to Canberra and offers sublime pastoral and mountain views. Sure to steal your heart, this property not only provides a spectacular residence with a clever floor plan but also has access to horse agistments and water from the estate's dam.
Designed by renowned Melbourne architect Daryl Jackson, 3.6m raked ceilings together with full-height glass to the front and rear, bring an impressive sense of scale to the residence. Clarity of sightlines through both the formal and casual living areas give a sense of being open to the world and yet privately contained.
There is a stillness to experience here – a lingering shared glass of wine beside one of two flickering fireplaces against a backdrop of captivating sunsets; morning coffee in the magical conservatory; or curling up with a book in the rear study where a glance out the window reveals ripening grapes in your own boutique vineyard.
Very much the central hub, the sensational kitchen with granite accents, premium appliances and optimal butler's pantry is ideally placed for entertaining. It has easy access to the expansive front verandah and to the north-facing rear alfresco space, heated saltwater pool and tranquil, landscaped gardens. A 2000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room off the nearby family room will keep the party going.
Beyond the living spaces are two separate sleeping wings. To the east, the large master has windows that frame leafy views, a built-in wardrobe plus enormous bespoke walk-through wardrobe, and an ensuite with dual sinks, walk-in shower, heated floor, heated towel rail and jetted bathtub. Three additional bedrooms in the opposite wing have expansive built-in wardrobes. Two open via French doors to a lovely shared deck wound with delicate clematis.
