For those seeking a home that will hold them tight for the decades to come, this beautifully reimagined 60’s solid brick residence is ready to deliver magical private moments, intimate entertaining and a constant connection to nature in total and utter privacy in the lush northern corner of Coromandel Valley.
Arrive home to Winns Road and gorgeous northeast facing gardens that frame the verandah rising above. A gently curving driveway guides you from the secure garage to the sanctuary of home, and a majestic Moreton Bay Fig tree that is the true custodian of this land, anchoring you in your own botanical fantasy.
The next chapter will be of your own choosing – whether you express your creativity in this gardener’s delight, move in the family for a grounding upbringing among the echidnas, koalas, rainbow lorikeets, and your own chickens, or settle in for a retirement filled with enriching entertaining moments across the property, from the firepit to the sunny alfresco patio overlooking gorgeous layers of tiered gardens.
Adorned in random stone and heaving with vigorous flowering wisteria that leaves its perfume hanging in the air, the front verandah has played host to enchanting long table Christmas lunches that feel like your own private venue.
From the entry, right leads you into an intimate lounge flanked by windows that draw the gardens in, all grounded by a slow combustion heater that heats the entire living space with ease. Left leads to the gourmet kitchen and dining, defined between bench seating, natural stone and pendant lighting that’s waiting and ready for intimate winter dinner parties.
It’s a contemporary kitchen and stone-topped island bar for all life’s paces, whether slow mornings watching the light change while you make a cuppa, weeknight homework or Friday night wines. There’s two ovens (the second pyrolytic) and a gas cooktop ready to power it all – with the huge adjacent laundry functioning as your butler’s pantry or catering base when the need arises.
When it comes to family accommodation, awake in the main bedroom suite each morning to be greeted by beautiful morning light that streams through the window and the branches of the Moreton Bay fig tree. Carpet and great character beams create a cosy base despite its scale, while around the corner, a gorgeous ensuite includes a much-needed freestanding bath, with relaxing courtyard views.
On the northern wing of the home is the perfect kids’ quarters, connected by a contemporary three-way bathroom with a walk-in rain shower. All three bedrooms are fitted with built-in robes and lovely views of the gardens – especially the final, largest bedroom - with a home office in the mix offering a work from home oasis.
Revel in your private weekends at home that feel much like a luxury retreat. Imagine taking a lingering bath while taking in the nature outside, and stepping out onto the welcome coolness in summer, and the decadence of underfloor heating in winter… Afterwards, pad out to the verandah with a cuppa or a glass of vino and revel in the rolling green hills and ancient gums that wrap their arms around you, with not a single rooftop to be seen creating a privacy that is a true privilege – utter peace and quiet. Towards the rear, layers of established botanica allow you to get lost in your own gardens, with fruit to harvest, eggs to collect, and fires to be enjoyed for all the years to come.
Winns Road links you to walks and hiking trails short and long and the best of Coromandel Valley, encouraging you to leave the car - and your worries - at home. Stroll to Bake Bakehouse for Saturday morning treats or The Duck Inn for a lazy lunch or evening meal. It’s a home – and truly turnkey - ready to deliver layers of year-round enjoyment for your next chapter.
