Perched on a clifftop overlooking beautiful Kiama Harbour, just an hour and a half south of Sydney, this unique home would fit right in at any number of exotic locations.
Designed by an architect and geomancer with a PhD in housing design and painstakingly crafted by renowned local builder, Philip Young, it's designed around the principles of Vastuu Shastra (an Indian version of Feng Shui) to take full advantage of its very special location.
The result is a dwelling that honours the strong connection between the earth energy' and the heaven', successfully melding both Asian and Australian influences.
A limited palette of materials has been carefully chosen to create an environment of harmony and beauty. Stone, glass, titanium, metal and gold leaf create a calm, masterfully planned interior, with doors and screens featuring 200-year old imported Japanese elm.
The kitchen and bathrooms feature marble, timber, stone and selected appliances from Europe. The living areas, including the three bedrooms, are all positioned to capitalise on the magnificent ocean vista.
Outside is a meditation level, sculpture garden, separate garage and rainwater tank.
The home embodies a great sense of tranquility and privacy, despite being within walking distance of everything Kiama has to offer.
Right below - and easily accessible - is a public ocean pool. Kiama's shops and chic restaurant/caf district are also only a few hundred metres away. A north-east orientation affords uninterrupted, panoramic ocean views. In fact, this home is one of only four in Kiama's dress circle' Pheasant Point Drive that does not have a road, power lines or reserve in front of it.
Sitting on the timber decks, all you'll see are whales, dolphins, the occasional fishing boat and the South Coast town's most famous landmark, Blowhole Point.
At night there is no more spectacular sight than the moon rising over the ocean as the nearby lighthouse flashes its warning to seafarers.
And on New Year's Eve, you'll have the most amazing view of the town's firework celebrations.
