Set across approximately 4.71 hectares, this architecturally designed, and fully landscaped property is a rare statement of design, craftsmanship, and lifestyle. Conceived and built by the original owner and architect, the property was appropriated and meticulously enhanced to immaculate standards, by its current owners of 20 years.
Lovingly renovated throughout including the addition of a striking extension by architect Mark Burns, this special residence blends contemporary living with the peacefulness of an elevated, private holding in one of Macclesfield’s most coveted precincts.
On arrival to the property, you will be met by a lush expanse of native forest featuring fern trees, acacia, towering eucalyptus and swathes of natives grasses – home to a plethora of native fauna and a symphony of birdlife. Winding your way up to the residence you will be met with a profound sense of arrival and seclusion as the bush gives way to manicured landscaped gardens.
