The property comprises of 1.94 hectares divided into 3 paddocks varying in terrain from flat, to rolling to steeper incline. Pecan and walnut trees stand in the sheltered, private valley among pockets of native bush.
Both the main house and the bunkhouse boast gorgeous views and are separated by a large sunny courtyard.
Construction is from a strict palette of materials, thick concrete walls, cement render, aluminium louvres, glass and tasmanian blackwood timber, milled from the property. The high courtyard high walls and the main structures create a sense of permanence through seasons and time, and provide the perfect canvas for the ever-changing play of light and shadow.
The main house has an open plan concept with the bare minimum of walls to interrupt the flow and airiness. Huge floor to ceiling windows are oriented to take advantage of the suns path and to frame the breath-taking views of the harbour and out to sea.
Huge sliders disappear into the building, opening up to nature or closing to lock down on departure or for inclement weather.
