Open decks, plenty of windows, louvres and bi-fold doors, overhanging roofs, hardwood timber and an abundance of tropical plants and birdlife... in a secluded tropical setting.

Designed and built with New Guinea longhouse influences, this is the first time this residence has been offered to the market. Under the big curved roof of the main home is an open plan living and dining area, central spacious kitchen, master bedroom complete with ensuite and a loft (easily used as another bedroom or office space). There is a second freestanding building which offers two further bedrooms and bathroom. All of the rooms in the home open out to the surroundings and the living room and kitchen area have continuous bi-folding doors and windows which allow a seamless transition between internal and external space. The kitchen is well-appointed with large sweeping bench tops, stainless steel appliances (including gas cooking), plenty of storage options, servery and a clear view of the pool. In keeping with the traditions of the tropical house, the floor is elevated on piers to allow air movement underneath. The internal walls are rendered blockwork and there is stunning array of timber used throughout that includes Johnstone River hardwood, Kwila, Oregon Pine, Flindersia and Western Red Cedar. All of the living spaces open out to the large central lagoon style pool - ideal for cool enjoyable living in this glorious tropical setting. Also set on the large flat pad at the end of the long private driveway, is a freestanding oversized garage plus huge workshop (previously used as a pottery studio) with annex - potential here to convert to further accommodation (S.T.C.A) - there is also plenty of further off-street parking and turn around space for a few vehicles.
