The epitome of tranquility, being 2.12 Ha of undulating bushland blessed with a prized northern slope, with an outlook to Geographe Bay and further graced with a quality, archetypal "Down South" lofted house which sits at peace and ease with the natural bushland setting.The north facing block is truly beautiful, with undulations and a hybrid of rocky outcrops, low woodland and old growth Jarrah/Marri bushland, winter watercourse and a now overgrown old dam area with its own unique micro climate and eco system. Originally designed by Terry Hodges and built by Mike O'Neil circa 1994, the house is constructed from a blend or rendered brick, cedar, stone and a Colorbond roof.This house has genuinely been designed from the ground up and emanates from a deep understanding of the natural environment in which it sits, so that it looks at one with nature rather than superimposed on it as so many Rural Residential houses tend to look.High cathedral ceilings, incorporating a mezzanine floor houses the master suite and parents lounge/retreat area. With imaginative use of bush poles, natural timber and light, plus open living areas and numerous sheltered outdoor areas, where a shaft of sunlight can be captured in any season whilst still being sheltered from the wind. The design invites you to spend as much time outside as you do inside, so that the natural beauty of the surrounds can be experienced rather than simply appreciated.The house essentially comprises: The main entrance is at the side of the house (east) via a grand antique door with leadlight surrounds, leading into a portico area with a top awning which can be left ajar for natural ventilation.

There is a further sheltered patio area built from CCA treated pine poles to the north west of the house, with a beautiful Wisteria gracing the framework. The lounge/dining area has a generous feature stone surround Jarrahdale Innovator fireplace plus leadlight windows to the side. Ageless and stylish Terracotta flooring, high timber ceilings and large north facing windows are a particular feature of this area.
