Summary: A Bespoke Mountain Masterpiece
Description: Homes of this calibre rarely come to marketplaces that feel instantly at one with their landscape, where architecture and nature intertwine to create a true sense of belonging. Crafted by a respected local builder known for sustainable, low-impact design, this remarkable residence sits gently within its bush setting. Every material has been chosen with intention: the formed-earth construction not only provides a beautiful, grounded aesthetic, but also delivers exceptional thermal performance, ensuring a naturally stable temperature throughout the year. Arrival is an experience in itself. Two geometric decks guide you toward a striking Japanese-inspired timber bridge that arches over a large, reticulated pond-an ever-present cooling element and a tranquil soundtrack that sets the tone for the home. Here, you live to the rhythm of the mountains. Step inside to a light-filled lower level where a wide timber staircase becomes the central spine of the home. To the left, the bespoke kitchen features recycled timber benchtops, handcrafted 'tree branch' cabinet handles and generous timber-framed windows that invite winter sun to warm the slab and tiled floors. On the pond side, floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolves the boundary between indoors and out, connecting daily life to the surrounding bushland. Beyond the kitchen sits a laundry and a beautifully designed bathroom anchored by a handcrafted circular "Tree of Life" window frosted and textured glass creating a truly breathtaking, one-of-a-kind feature. Throughout the home, soft, filtered light works harmoniously with the earthy palette, creating a calm, grounded atmosphere. To the right of the staircase, the lounge room enjoys sweeping bush views and the comfort of a Pyro Classic fireplace, complete with a clever warming hood for slow-cooked winter meals. This level also includes a bedroom and an additional snug: the perfect TV room, library, reading space, or creative retreat. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms continue the home's warm, organic aesthetic. The master suite features a walk-in robe and wraparound windows capturing glorious north-eastern light, making the room sun-kissed and inviting throughout winter. The second bedroom, currently styled as an additional lounge, is equally spacious, easily accommodating a king bed and featuring its own walk-in robe. Sustainably designed and entirely independent of town water, the home collects its own crystal-clear rainwater, embodying a lifestyle that treads lightly on the land without compromising on beauty. Distinctive, handcrafted, and utterly unique, this is a one-off mountain sanctuary waiting for someone new to fall in love with it. • 656M2 Block • Solar Passive Home • Formed Earth Construction • Rainwater • Bespoke and Unique
