Overview

'La Casa' - a rainforest retreat

Get away from it all at 'La Casa', nestled on the edge of the National Park, yet a short walk to a selection of restaurants and the beach. A unique property, built to last and updated recently to add modern comforts to the original character. At the end of a no-through road, the home is hidden away with a driveway and garage providing direct access to the lower level of the home and plenty of parking further up the road to enter via the grand Mediterranean-style entrance complete with ornamental birdbath. You are immediately greeted by lush rainforest gardens and the sounds of a gentle bubbling creek, even in dry season, courtesy of the water feature in the garden trickling down into the pond which is full of self-sufficient fish and spectacular seasonal water lilies. The huge covered patio is a delightful place to enjoy large family gatherings, an intimate dinner date or a peaceful spot to ignore the world and fall into a book. Tucked around the corner is the private tropical swimming pool with yet another peaceful patio area where you can have a nap on the day bed or keep an eye on the kids in the pool. The second bathroom is handily located near the pool as is the laundry. Inside, the large open-plan living opens onto paved patios on two sides and features beautiful hardwood floors and soaring ceilings. Split system air conditioners have been installed to the living area and both bedrooms. The wide staircase leads down from the living area to the large second bedroom and garage. The kitchen is fresh and modern yet styled to match the character of the home, with European touches and a fantastic butler's pantry. Both the master bedroom and the main bathroom are very generous in size, in keeping with the spaciousness of the home as a whole. The shower is walk-in and there's a luxurious stand-alone bath tub to relax amongst the bubbles with a glass of bubbles and magazine. The master bedroom leads off the bathroom and opens onto the patio with two large wardrobes so there won't be any arguments over wardrobe space! Follow the pathways through the garden that naturally blends into National Park and follow the base of the hill to some beautiful swimming holes and waterfalls just a couple of minutes walk away. Just 600m down Yates St is the beach so you have the best of both worlds with both National Park and the beach on your doorstep as well being in very easy walking distance to almost everything you could need: supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, medical facilities, pharmacy, primary school and the boat ramp, amongst others. Council rates approx $4900 p.a. including water (investment property rating, lower for owner occupiers). Contact Alex to arrange a private inspection by appointment.
