Beyond the handcrafted cypress and olive double gate, this storybook timber residence reveals a private sanctuary where home and landscape exist in harmony. Elevated to overlook its surrounds, the enchanting house is defined by a breathtaking north-facing garden, a labour of love by its owner, a professional landscaper, blending coastal, Mediterranean and Japanese influences. Lush greenery is layered with winding Castlemaine crazy-paved paths, recycled timber and driftwood features, railway sleepers, dry-stacked stone walls and broad decks, creating a setting both beautiful and functional. The home spans two light-filled levels, introduced by a welcoming front terrace. The main level presents a generous layout with open plan kitchen, dining and lounge with brick fireplace, alongside a main bedroom with walk-in robe and spacious ensuite. A second living retreat behind barn doors adds flexibility, incorporating an additional bedroom, contemporary bathroom, laundry and adjoining alfresco deck. Character features flow throughout, including dado panelling, French doors, plantation shutters, soaring cathedral ceilings, timber floors and leadlight windows. Upstairs, a third bedroom with treetop vistas and cosy study nook continues the home's immersive connection with nature. Adding further versatility, a timber garden studio and self-contained guest retreat with lofted bedroom, kitchenette, living zone, lavish ensuite and private deck provide ideal accommodation for extended family or holiday letting. Complete with a double lock-up garage and internal storage room, European appliances, split-system air-conditioning, electric heating and garden irrigation, this special offering is also conveniently positioned between the ocean and bay.
