Excellent design is evident in this superbly functional 582 square meter home located on 1 hectare. Dual living is a welcome feature of this home comprising an attached but private self-contained flat with kitchen, bathroom, three bedrooms, separate laundry and upstairs lounge with scenic deck - perfect for the extended family, guest accommodation or even as a bed & breakfast farm stay. The unique construction is of mud bricks made on site, rendered with limestone then painted, culminating in a wonderful rustic appearance. Continuing the theme, flooring in the heavy-duty areas is natural basalt stone with hydro underfloor heating controlled via a heat pump. The open plan kitchen is superbly equipped with quality Bosch induction hobs and Smeg appliances, a huge pantry, stone bench tops and a breakfast bar. The cabinetry is custom made of American Oak veneer. A scullery with dishwasher provides heaps of extra storage and alongside the kitchen there is a conveniently placed built-in bar. The adjoining dining room flows into the comfortable light-filled family living section. For sophisticated entertaining there is an elegant formal lounge room with built-in feature gas fireplace and for endless family enjoyment, there is a media room with additional sound proofing and surround sound - in fact the whole house is hard-wired for sound and media. Four bedrooms occupy two separate wings - a kids wing housing two bedrooms with oversized custom-made wardrobes, the other containing two huge bedrooms including the master with walk-in robe, bi-folds out to the pool area and a fully tiled ensuite with his and her vanities and rain shower rose. An oversized fully tiled bathroom, with bath services the two children's rooms - the guest bathroom is also fully tiled and features under-floor heating. There is a clever 'office', which can be completely concealed via a cavity slider and a massive linen room with built-in storage. A triple car garage with internal access to the main home also incorporates a laundry.
