Your Private Country Retreat

An offer has been accepted by the vendors on this exceptional property.

Occupying a superb, elevated ridge-top position on 147 acres, this wonderfully private bushland retreat sits in absolute harmony with its natural surroundings and is complemented by magnificent views of Mt Warning, the Border Ranges of the Caldera & Springbrook National Park.

Designed by renowned Australian 'Bush Pavilion' architect, Philip Pratt, this refined and elegant, modern contemporary, timber pavilion loft style residence exudes timeless style with a focus on native Australian hardwood timbers and an interior palette that reflects the natural hues of its surroundings.

The home features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open plan living and dining with covered verandahs on all sides for full enjoyment of the views and natural setting at any time of the day or season. The favourable northerly aspect ensures winter sunshine all day in the cooler months and a vegetation buffer from the western & southern sides protects the home from westerly winter winds and southerly elements. A wood heater is an efficient heating source in the cooler season.

Beautifully presented throughout, the home's interior is enriched with natural light through timber & glass French doors (retractable screens). Highlight windows and 13 ft ceilings are complemented by vaulted ceilings through the living area and loft master bedroom with exposed timber beams (Tallow wood), Silvertop Ash hardwood timber floors and New Guinea Rosewood staircase. The owners have meticulously updated the interior with thoughtful intention to absolute quality and comfort in making this wonderfully calming abode a joy to live in.

All the modern conveniences are at your disposal in this stylish and elegant kitchen appointed with soft close appliance drawers, automatic push-button cabinetry, marble & timber bench tops with features that include: Satin two-pac cabinetry, stainless steel sink, Miele appliances (induction cooktop with downward extraction fan, electric oven, convection microwave, dishwasher), ice-maker fridge and large pantry. Those who love to entertain will find plenty of extra storage in the double-sided Solid Australian Blackbutt island bench.

The loft style master suite bedroom with raked ceilings and exposed beams is positioned alone on the upper level, accessed by an internal Rosewood timber stairwell. Two large windows on both sides encourage soothing breezes through the loft space and there is plenty of space for an informal parent's retreat.

The master bedroom is serviced by an architect designed open style ensuite bathroom, functionally screened from the sleeping area with Australian timber cabinetry and featuring Italian marble bench top and shower base, frameless shower screen, toilet and wardrobe space.

The large second bedroom (or potential master bedroom if preferred) is positioned on the main living level with French glass/timber doors that open onto the verandah. This room would take an ensuite bathroom addition if desired. A third bedroom is presently used as an office, also has a glass door connecting to the exterior covered verandah.

The main bathroom is beautifully appointed with marble top timber vanity, marble shower tray and frameless shower, a deep soaking bath tub and a separate toilet with powder basin.

Guest Studio: This beautifully conceived and completed space will undoubtedly impress those with extended family or anyone who likes to entertain regular visitors. Alternatively, it lends itself to the option of more permanent accommodation or home business occupation.

Generously proportioned, the fully tiled air-conditioned studio is serviced by a beautiful kitchen, king size bedroom with robes, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, timber & Caesar stone vanity, concealed toilet suite, a generous living area, plus a covered outdoor area.

Adjoining the guest studio is a double lockup garage with double carport.
There is 60,000L of water tank storage available at the residence and studio.

A colourful array of bird life is attracted to the many flowering trees and shrubs in the beautifully manicured gardens. The owners have been very thoughtful in their intention to establish a modern and vibrant, low maintenance garden that makes a valid contribution to the eco-system.

The property takes in approx. 500m frontage to Chowan Creek which is a permanent resource. There is an estimated 10 acres of area at the bottom of the property that would be suitable to graze livestock if desired. This area is presently grazed by a neighbour's cattle. The balance of the property is a mixture of Flooded Gums and other native species.

The property is easily accessed from a 1km (approx.) bitumen driveway (resurfaced in 2018).

The property is conveniently positioned 5.2km from the village of Uki for daily necessities, 18.8km to Murwillumbah for casual dining (cafes & restaurants, specialty shops and supermarkets, hospital and medical centres), 40km to Cabarita Beach, under an hour to the Gold Coast International Airport (51.4km) and 60km to Byron Bay.

Ensconced by nature, this idyllic bushland setting is a haven to an abundance of native wildlife that make this spectacular location their home. This is a property for those who want the solace of privacy, a peaceful place to retreat to and find sanctuary among nature.
