The generously-proportioned bedrooms are all located on the north-facing side of the house, with large windows offering uninterrupted views to the rear over the pristine natural landscape.
Ceiling fans and glass louvres keep the bedrooms cool and comfortable, while built-in wardrobes offer plenty of storage space and custom cabinetry including a built-in desk in one bedroom and a dresser nook in the master suite provide an added touch of practicality.
Timber feature walls in all three bedrooms create a rustic sense of warmth and texture to further connect the bedrooms to the bushland setting.
The use of timber is continued in the living areas, with a stunning Fijian cedar timber feature ceiling stretching from the kitchen through to the adjoining family room for an eye-catching focal point.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, with quality stainless steel appliances including an OIlve 900mm stainless steel freestanding gas stove, as well as a spacious butler's pantry with built-in cupboards and benchtops and a second sink for added convenience.
Premium fittings and luxury finishes including Corian benchtops, a black glass mirrored splashback and a gorgeous island bench and breakfast bar add to the kitchen's sleek, contemporary style.
The home's design makes it ideal for entertaining, with the open plan layout and large format rectified edge tiles on the floors creating a natural flow between the kitchen and the vast living areas.
Two reverse cycle air conditioners and a Masport slow combustion wood fire heater ensure year-round comfort in the family, dining and lounge rooms, enhanced by the generous use of glass louvres, while a third air conditioner in located in the master suite.
Opening up the sliding stacker doors to the alfresco area creates a seamless connection between the internal and external entertaining areas, with the expansive rear covered deck offering the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the tranquility of your surrounds while also providing a bird's eye view over the water flowing through the narrow gorge below.
The side spa deck offers another external spot to relax and appreciate the outlook, while every room in the house has been designed to make the most of the views including the ensuite, where two oversized windows made from privacy glass in the corner of the shower recess allow you to wash away the stresses of your day while still enjoying the scenery.
