In a serene corner of the countryside, nestled amidst rolling hills 'Ewinggaard' is a home like no other. This sanctuary, built with love and care, is more than just a dwelling, it is a testament to the harmony between nature and modern living.
The main home was completed in 2018, and its design is a blend of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. Decks totalling 13.5 square meters extend from the house, leading to a stunning 46 square meter sandstone-paved area where many a sun filled day can been enjoyed with the North facing aspect. An extension, added in 2020, expanded the space, continuing the home's flow.
Constructed with exposed portal frames, the home has the character of reclaimed timber beams, each telling tales of their past lives. The exterior is a medley of materials: the sleek lines of Colorbond cladding, the warm tones of Spotted Gum, and the rugged texture of Corten steel. On the south side, the walls are made from rammed earth, a natural material that not only provides superior thermal mass but also controlled temperature and noise, keeping the house warm in winter and cool in summer, while offering excellent fireproofing.
Adding to the fantastic energy rating is the 6.6 kW solar panels, capturing the sun's energy to power the home sustainably. Inside, a refurbished spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine level where a bedroom, lounge, or study can be utilised, creating a flexible floor plan and is complete with a west-facing balcony offering stunning views of the setting sun.
Spotted Gum double pivot doors welcome with their grand design, while hydraulic underfloor heating embedded in the refurbished concrete floor ensured warmth throughout the chilly months. A fireplace adds to the cozy atmosphere, and a compact laundry has been cleverly designed.
The main living area is open plan and spacious plus a second living area creates space for everyone and opens out to the sandstone deck.
The open plan continues with the dining and kitchen which is a wonderful area to enjoy cooking the family meals with its waterfall breakfast bench, high quality oven and gas cooktop plus a double dish drawer dishwasher.
The main bathroom is custom-made, with a rustic vibe matching the rest of the home including a timber bench and stunning vessel stone sink.
A second bathroom is central to two of the bedrooms and conveniently placed off the second living area which opens out to the sandstone deck.
The property also features an ancillary dwelling-a 36 square meter tiny home completed in 2024. This charming abode, with an 18 square meter deck, boasts a 6-star energy efficiency rating. Inside, a custom-built kitchen with a laundry washing machine and breakfast bar make the most of the compact space. The living area provides a cozy retreat, and the dwelling is self-sufficient complete with a bathroom plus an upstairs bedroom. A reverse cycle heat pump ensures comfort year around.
The home has various outbuildings. A workshop for the handy, a hay shed for storage, and a greenhouse for the garden enthusiast. A garden shed for neatly organized tools, while a horse shelter provides refuge for the family fur babies. A timber playhouse stands amidst the trees, a place where imaginations could run wild.
