Nestled in a pristine spotted gum and ironbark forest, Rosedale House is a Bert Read masterpiece that redefines coastal living on the South Coast. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings and built by Master builders Smith and Primmer, the home is a striking example of thoughtful, responsive architecture.
With a sweeping 210-degree vista through the treetops to the ocean, the expansive wrap-around deck and full-length glass windows invites the outdoors in, flooding the home with natural light and framing the beautiful tree and ocean vista. From its hand-built timberwork to its seamless integration with the surrounding landscape, Rosedale House is more than a home - it's a living work of art, a testament to design excellence, and an irreplaceable coastal retreat.
Comprising six interconnected pods connected by expansive undercover hardwood decks, the design seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Three pods feature a bedroom, sitting area, and full bathroom - each with a glass-enclosed shower that immerses you in nature. A fourth pod serves as a versatile space ideal as a home office, second living area or additional guest accommodation.
At the heart of the home lies the main living pod - a communal gathering space where family and friends come together. Designed with open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces, it features an enclosed wood fire for cooler evenings. A ladder alongside the chimney leads to a mezzanine library, a cosy retreat where children and adults alike can curl up with a book, warmed by the fireplace below.
Carefully restored to maintain its authenticity, Rosedale House underwent an award-winning renovation in 2013 and has since been further refined by the current owners with high-quality updates. The Tasmanian Oak floors have been beautifully rejuvenated, complemented by new Scandinavian-designed lighting. A stunning 2024 kitchen renovation showcases premium Miele appliances, Corian benchtops, and handcrafted Wathaurong Glass splashbacks, while the 2023 designer ensuite features travertine tiling and luxury Sussex tapware. Recent enhancements, including external LED lighting and a state-of-the-art bushfire sprinkler system, blend modern comfort with thoughtful preservation.
Positioned between the coveted hamlets of Rosedale and Guerilla Bay, this exceptional property offers direct, uninhibited access to Tranquil Bay, Nuns Beach, and Rosedale Beach - secluded shorelines where morning swims, sunset strolls, and laid-back days spent unwinding to the soothing sound of the ocean quickly become a part of your everyday.
This spectacular home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural brilliance, offering unparalleled beauty, comfort, and connection with nature. Whether you're seeking a private retreat or a space to entertain and create lasting memories, this unique property promises a lifestyle like no other.
