This perfectly fenced five-acre property with Bemboka River frontage has all the advantages anyone could wish for. The north facing home embodies solar passive design principles. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, an office space and a hand crafted hard wood staircase leading to the second living area. This space is bathed in natural light and it could be used as a media room, an art studio or perhaps a remedial exercise room or meditation space where the large balcony invites scenic mountain views into the room.
Outside a resort style Western Red Cedar sauna sits adjacent to a level usable lawn, great for the kids to run around on, framed by beautiful landscaped gardens with natural stone terracing, rustic hardwood sleepers and natural stone boulders. These gardens are irrigated and there is also a small orchard near by with three espaliered pears, one nashi pear, one fig, one nectarine and an apple tree When you asked about the fruit trees I only mentioned the ones in what once was an orchard. There are other fruit trees in the garden too, Orange,
Lemon, Olive and a White Mulberry.
If this is sounding good wait till you experience the river where all of your senses are engaged with swimming holes and rapids to play in plus a sandy beach where you can sit and listen to the river and feel the water running over your limbs. Down by the river it's as relaxing as it is invigorating within a few short minutes from the house.
Designed to give you year-round comfort the home is easy to warm in winter and cool in summer. Energy use is kept to a minimum thanks to the North-Facing aspect where the living areas have full-height windows to capture the winter sun and the wide eaves shield against summer heat. The open-plan design flows effortlessly over a beautiful polished terrazzo floor that in tandem with internal brick walls provide natural temperature stability throughout the seasons.
A Zen like simplicity through out the home is complimented by the warm tones of natural timber found in the hardwood flooring, the kitchen bench tops and the kitchen cabinetry. The kitchen appears minimalistic at first glance, but it hides the fact that there is ample storage to be found here, augmented by extra pantry space underneath the staircase and “lazy susans” installed in the corner cabinetry.
For cozy winter evenings a wood-burning stove provides both warmth and cooking facility and the heat transfer system carries ducted comfort to bedrooms and bathrooms plus the exposed flue heats the upstairs room too. A reverse cycle air conditioner adds finger tip convenience.
Full-length decks to the north and the east are perfect entertaining spots that can also be a used as a reclusive area to contemplate the peaceful mountain views. From here it's just a short walk to the river where the memory of childhood fun and adventures can tickle the imagination and set your soul free.
