Etched into its rolling rural setting like it's always belonged, an inspired collaboration between owner and Angus + Dowie architects spawned a home with an outlook that never grows old and scales well beyond the far-reaches of the 120 (approx.) acres it calls its own.
Scoffing at the ordinary, saluting a distinct 'modernist Australiana' aesthetic; the efficient interplay between prolific glass, brick, iron, steel and timber is something to behold for this thoughtfully designed, C2012-completed, solar-driven home that seemingly suspends itself in the air.
The rugged landscape it so effortlessly observes through a bevy of floor-to-ceiling double glazed glass brings it all back down to earth in the best of ways, drawing you to its central, raked-ceilinged living zone.
The conduit between two accommodation wings - one self-contained for visiting guests or pesky teens - the central living zone inhales natural light through its heavenly-high north-facing windows and forges the best view possible through its southern wall of glass.
Acoustic ceilings, Australian Oak floors and a cosy combustion fireplace soften the look, sound and feel of a space that finds its equilibrium at the Corian-topped and supremely functional open-plan kitchen.
An internal 'bridge' and terrace mark the transition to that guest wing and its studio-style living zone, kitchenette, bathroom and three bedrooms, each framing views of the ancient gums that light up at night.
Your wing - featuring a home office for good measure - carves out a corner window where the structure floats at its highest point above the earth, ensuring the first thing you see every day is the dam and rolling hills of a property that kisses the Finniss River. We call that waking up on 'cloud nine'. This is the one
