'Saint Quentin' Rainforest retreat
Rare opportunity to purchase this unique property. Set on just under 5 acres in a beautiful rainforest setting with distant views. The house was built by award-winning Swiss architects, Romberg and Boyd. Designed using bluestone and timber in 1941, buy yourself a piece of history. Needs some work to get it back to its former glory but the potential is there.
You will be welcomed inside by a large baltic pine staircase lite by a floor to ceiling glass wall. Upstairs is a spacious living area which is surrounded by large picture windows taking in the views. Baltic pine floors, timber walls and ceilings and a rustic bluestone fireplace with a solid woodfire insert. Collect all the wood you need for those cosy winter nights from the surrounding property. There is also a reverse cycle split system for comfortable living. From the dining area is a quaint country kitchen looking over backyard court yard and bluestone breakfast nook and powder room. Down the hall are the 3 bedrooms, study and family bathroom. Bedroom 1 & 2 and study have their own vanity hand basin making this a very suitable guest home or B & B. Downstairs is the games/rumpus area for entertaining or teenagers retreat with extra bathroom.
