Sketch out your perfect version of Hills living and it may look something like this north-facing 1970s home that settles comfortably into the rise and fall of a resort-style 7,300sqm parcel with a self-contained cottage that marches to its own beautiful beat.
Enter and the scale is immediate, spaces connect and separate with ease, ceilings lift, light shifts and your instincts tell you to take a moment in a sitting area warmed by raked timber ceilings, textured rendered walls, hardwood floors and a cosy fireplace.
A suspended room, once a mezzanine, now floats above the entry like a glass-framed observatory with a myriad of uses.
Below, a second living zone opens to the timber-decked terrace via French doors, drawing the breeze through and offering a cue to step outside and let the house blur gently into the Hills.
The centrally placed kitchen is sunlit and substantial, blending solid timber cabinetry with black granite benchtops, stainless steel appliances, extensive storage and the floor space to dance from oven to dishwasher with reckless abandon.
The master suite - located on its own lower tier - with picture windows, walk-in robe, and a refined ensuite - speaks quietly to the ethos of the home: grounded, generous, and always oriented toward nature.
Step outside and the property shifts into something transportive - from the Hills to a Tuscan holiday villa with a terracotta-capped, solar-heated pool and adjacent pavilion, pizza oven, a stone fire pit for the storytellers, and lawns for everything in between.
And then there's the cottage. Not a throwaway addition; a bonafide home with palpable disconnection from the main house, generous living area, loft bedroom, kitchen, ensuite and a garden-framed deck. A guest retreat, creative studio, teenage sanctuary or long-stay accommodation.
You've sketched the vision. Here it is in real life.
