A prominent and potential filled property that started life in the 1880's, began its transformation in the 1930's and then again in the early 2000's. As it now stands today it presents as a stunning blend of contemporary design and old world charm. The home now takes full advantage of it's elevated position on the land and the panoramic views that it provides.
Make no mistake with this property - there is work to be done over time to finish the grand vision of the current owners but what an outstanding start they have made! This unique blend of eras extends from the original DOUBLE cellar that sits under the old cottage. It was constructed of local stone in the late 1800's and was carefully restored when the later extensions were completed. The 1920's extension now forms a connection between the original old cottage and the architecturally designed main extension.
The main house effortlessly caters for large or blended families and offers three distinct living areas under the one roof. The original cottage area includes three bedrooms, formal lounge, bathroom and a laundry ( which used to be the original cottage kitchen). The lower level of the home provides a single bedroom, bathroom, small laundry plus access to the huge double room cellar plus an external entrance. The most modern part of the home provides a master bedroom complete with huge ensuite bathroom, a full sized sauna and separate toilet. There is an adjoining balcony that takes in the stunning elevated views. Moving on from the master bedroom there is a formal entrance, study, central gourmet kitchen plus two further living spaces and an entertaining deck.
Separate to the main dwelling is a small stone cottage that has been converted to a dance studio complete with padded floors, gyprock walls and speaker recesses to accommodate home theatre speakers if desired.
There is a mains water supply to the property plus a modern "Envirocycle" waste management system and two hot water sevices.
