DESCRIPTION

This versatile, spacious two story home with rustic charm is situated on an elevated block overlooking Georges Bay to the north and the ocean dunes and bush lands to the east. The home has been architecturally designed using recycled hardwoods and with passive solar principles making smart use of the northern aspect. A large sunroom captures the winter sun, heating the space and the sliding glass door offers the option to circulate that warm air throughout the home making it ideal for year round comfort.

Upstairs features a bright open plan living area with polished wooden floor boards and wood heater. From the timber framed feature windows you can check the tide while enjoying your breakfast and plan your day of boating, launching from one of two boat ramps just 5 minutes away. The functional kitchen offers plenty of storage, electric cook top, in-wall oven/grill and a gorgeous country style timber cabinet. Both upstairs bedrooms feature build in robes. The bathroom has slate tile floors, shower, basin, built in linen storage and a separate toilet.

Downstairs features a large open plan lounge/games room with low maintenance soft flooring and electric element wall heater. The functional kitchenette provides an option to separate the upstairs and downstairs for two families to enjoy privacy or for the perfect teenage retreat. Two additional bedrooms, one with a walk in dressing room, make the ground level of this home a semi-self contained apartment with it's own bathroom featuring shower, hand basin and separate toilet.

The huge sunroom also downstairs, not only offers the benefit of capturing the winter sun through its expansive wall of north facing windows, it also gives access to the laundry and separate room with large corner bath. This space is so versatile and could easily be used as an art and yoga studio, music room, play area and potting up space to rear seedlings in year round warmth...the possibilities really are endless.

Both upstairs and downstairs have their own external access offering privacy and a lockable internal door to the spiral staircase makes total separation an appealing feature of this unique and versatile property.

Moving outdoors there are an abundance of lush permaculture gardens to enjoy on this large gently sloping block which is fully fenced and nestled amongst the peaceful Stieglitz surrounds. The two sundecks mean there is always somewhere comfortable to enjoy the private and highly productive food forest that make this property truly one of a kind. The vendor has lovingly nurtured this pocket of paradise into the thriving ecosystem that it is by building soil, ponds, creating multi-layered guilds and offering a diversity of habitat to local species to naturally reduce pests. As a result, the lucky purchaser of this property will enjoy an abundance of food including well established nashi and peach trees as well as citrus, berries, artichokes, pepino, persimmon, herbs, medicinal plants, native bush tucker and plenty more..

There is a bonus outdoor cat enclosure accessible from the sunroom which gives your furry friend access to the outdoors while keeping them and the local wildlife safe.

The large carport offers undercover parking, a place to store your fire wood and additional weatherproof storage. The wide driveway also gives you loads of off-street parking for boats, trailers or caravans.

If your growing family is longing for a sea change then look no further than this spectacular, versatile property. Just 5 minutes to the convenience of St Helens' local amenities and just a stones throw to internationally renowned MTB trails where temperate rainforests meet the breathtaking Bay of Fires beaches. It would be hard to find a more ideal lifestyle for the family who wants to escape the rat race and enjoy all the natural beauty of the local area.
