Discover a secluded sanctuary of modern farmhouse luxury.
Set on 1.19ha (2.94ac), this exceptional residence offers elevated privacy, with sweeping lawns, dotted gums, and tranquil lake views framed by a picturesque island of deciduous trees. The ideal retreat for those seeking a refined weekend escape or a permanent lifestyle change, the property provides a perfect setting for leisurely picnics, lake-side relaxation, and trout fishing, just 20 minutes' walk from Trentham's vibrant town centre.
Architectural Excellence & Interior Refinement:
Expertly designed and built with Passive House principles, the home connects galvanized iron-clad pavilions with warm timber highlights and sunlit, neutral interiors, radiating understated elegance. The central hub features a north-facing grand open-plan living and dining space beneath a soaring cathedral ceiling, seamlessly flowing to a stone-clad kitchen equipped with an induction cooktop, integrated ventilation, double butler sinks, and a stone island bench.
A generous butler's pantry accommodates dual European ovens and a large plumbed fridge/freezer, while a sizeable laundry provides abundant storage and hanging space.
The main living area opens to an expansive north-facing deck, perfect for alfresco entertaining, framed by ever-changing seasonal views of the lake. One pavilion houses the master suite with ensuite, walk-in robe, and private deck, alongside a versatile second living room, home office, or fourth bedroom with a cleverly concealed murphy bed. The opposite pavilion accommodates two further king-sized bedrooms with a shared bathroom.
Premium Craftsmanship & Luxurious Finishes:
From 2.4m solid doors and hand-scraped distressed oak flooring to light timber window frames and white-washed interiors, every detail reflects refinement and quality. Resort-style bathrooms feature travertine-style tiles, stone benchtops, walk-in showers, brushed nickel tapware, and generous storage.
