Description
From the humble beginnings of a modest farm cottage to a magnificent stately home, this remarkable property is a true testament to vision, care, and transformation. Perched high above Robinsons Bay, it captures sweeping panoramic coastal views of the bay and the picturesque valley floor below. Nestled within mature native plantings this beautifully landscaped garden with meandering paths – lovingly created by the current owners as a private retreat – offers tranquility, privacy, and timeless style. Thoughtfully designed for flexibility and modern living, the downstairs level features a spacious bedroom and bathroom with delightful sea views and its own external access off Kingston Hill – perfect for guests, extended family, or Airbnb. A second lounge on this level can be closed off, offering even more privacy or potential for dual living. Previously, the property has successfully hosted Airbnb guests, weddings, and catered stay vacations, highlighting its exceptional appeal and versatility. The heart of the home is a large, light-filled L-shaped living area anchored by a hostess kitchen and full scullery, designed for effortless entertaining and everyday comfort. Adjacent to the lounge is a versatile study, accessible both from the living area and directly from the front door, providing a private and convenient workspace. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample space for family or guests. Expansive decks on both levels invite you to take in the ever-changing views, from sunrise to sunset. Practicality meets elegance with extensive garaging for five vehicles, underground wine cellar for your prized collection, and a separate lockable implement shed tucked away. Approximately half of the property is divided into two paddocks suitable for sheep, cattle or horses. Every element has been carefully considered to offer a home of rare quality – private, peaceful, and perfectly positioned. To be fully appreciated and feel the magic, this property is a must view - the photos are only half the picture!
