Humpty Doo NT 0836

The four bedroom tropical pod residence was designed and built by a longtime Darwin architect comprising two semi-elevated pavilions and a separate ground level self-contained parents retreat or granny flat with its own kitchen and living.

Gated at street level, the home bypasses open pangola paddocks for the horses or cattle to roam and a screen of tropical and native plants. There is a new shed and carport with plenty of space to park the vehicles, boat, van, trailer, toys and store the tools.

A short stroll over to the home passing a large Pride of India with blooming flowers sets the scene for this tropical pod style home that blends Balinese holiday vibes with rustic NT station.

On the West or Central wing are the kitchen and the living areas; the kitchen is separate and hosts banks of built in storage space with servery windows that open to a timber topped bar and overlooks the central outdoor dining space with pool views. Step up into the living and dining areas with a full length front balcony that overlooks the gardens. Inside has warm timber flooring and large light filled windows that capture the breezes.

On the East wing are three bedrooms each with a sliding door onto the front full length verandah. There are laundry amenities nestled centrally along with an impressive outdoor bathroom that has a waterfall shower and outdoor bath overlooking tropical gardens pure bliss.

In addition to the main home, there is a North wing which is a self contained master bedroom suite residing separately with its own bathroom, kitchenette and living areas along with a front verandah that overlooks the gardens.

The retreat is completed with gorgeous inground swimming pool plus an exceptional large chicken coop for the hens to provide the fortunate new occupants endless fresh free range Humpty Doo eggs. The property also enjoys a large solar panel system situated in the front paddock and has been designed for the residents to live an off grid, self sufficient rural lifestyle.

The property is really well positioned within the Humpty Doo community and is only 3 mins from the Humpty Doo shopping centre and associated amenities.
