Imagine arriving home via a tree-lined driveway, complete with a secure electric gate, that hints at the exclusivity and privacy of this architectural gem. Nestled in a serene setting, this retreat offers the perfect blend of city convenience with the peace of the countryside, setting a standard in distinguished living. After many memorable years, the vendors are ready to pass this special property on, making this a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle that seldom comes to market.

As you step into the wide entrance hall, new tiling underfoot signals the quality and style that define this residence. Solid timber doors lead throughout the home, with the natural warmth of timber skirting and window surrounds enhancing each space. Step into the formal dining and split-level lounge area where an open fire adds ambiance to the cathedral ceilings above. Bespoke joinery and seamless access to the patio through multiple doors combine to make this space ideal for hosting and relaxation. Central to the living areas is the gourmet kitchen, recently redesigned with Caesarstone benches, that overlooks the casual dining and family room - a layout as functional as it is beautiful.

The west wing houses a trio of double bedrooms, each opening onto a patio and equipped with built-in desks and garden views. A powder room and a spacious bathroom, featuring double vanities and subdued decor, complete this family quarter. In the east wing, practicality meets refined design. A dedicated laundry room with external access, adjacent bathroom, and an additional bedroom offer convenience and flexibility. Upstairs, you will find the spacious primary suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and a secluded office space - perfect for privacy and productivity.

Outside, the potential for a tennis court or a pool exists within the flat lawn, surrounded by architecturally-landscaped gardens, a home orchard brimming with plums, feijoas, and citrus and a grove of 100 olive trees for oil production. An American 3-bay barn and wood shed contribute to the estate’s functionality, alongside a spa area for ultimate relaxation. The property’s cladding is solid plaster with cavity for durability and insulation.

This estate is self-sufficient, with a bore water system equipped with a PureTech filter (2022), an Oasis septic system, diesel radiators, and two heat pumps for year-round comfort.
