This bespoke passive solar home was built by a local architect as his own private residence designed to encompass the land and treed gardens adding to the beautiful form and landscape is built over three levels with the northern aspect shaded by a variety of deciduous trees. Entry to the property is gained through double wrought iron gates from Scotland. Huge hand carved Teak doors welcome guests to the spacious entrance with guest powder room and the main rooms. The living room overlooks the northern courtyard and treed gardens. The Jotul fireplace and enclosed bar provide for relaxed entertaining in a home designed for all seasons. The dining room with cathedral ceilings opens out to a large private alfresco area, spirited and expressive with Spanish stucco and a featured pond centred within this 10 metre courtyard. Shaded in the summer by a gracious Tipuana. A long central granite kitchen, breakfast bar and extended meals area designed for a family enjoys garden views. The kitchen opens to the northern courtyard and has easy access to the carport. The family living area with its own impressive raised deck connects with the kitchen and three bedrooms. The main bathroom and laundry are also on this level. On the first floor the bedroom retreat is light and airy with a private balcony and loggia connecting to the tree canopy. The lower floor has its own private entrance to two guest bedrooms and a bathroom. It links to the main house via a staircase and to the double garage. The accommodation on this level would be ideal for a home office, studio or guest bedroom suite. Landscaped gardens and trees create a sanctuary for this home that is unique and peaceful. At the bottom of the garden away from the house is a powered workshop for the creative mind and a vegetable garden with bore reticulation. Relaxation and enjoyment surrounded by nature, embody the spirit.
