Описание: A harmonious blend of design, function and setting

Welcome to a property where architectural integrity meets natural beauty - an expansive 1.25-hectare site thoughtfully developed to embrace space, light, and landscape. This 296m2 contemporary residence has been meticulously designed to balance luxurious living with practical functionality, all while responding to its unique environment. Anchored by a strong linear form, the home is oriented to maximize northern sun exposure, with floor-to-ceiling glazing along the main facade inviting natural light deep into the interior spaces. The central volume is defined by a dramatic vaulted ceiling, establishing a sense of openness and vertical grandeur within the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zones - ideal for both everyday living and entertaining on a larger scale. The kitchen acts as a social and functional heart, equipped with a walk-in pantry and extensive preparation space, allowing for seamless hosting and interaction. Material selections and spatial proportions reflect a refined yet welcoming atmosphere throughout. The floor plan is divided across two levels to optimize site contour and provide separation of private and communal areas. The upper-level houses four generously proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite complete with a custom-designed walk-in wardrobe and a spacious ensuite. Both bathrooms are enhanced with underfloor heating, while a separate WC adds practicality for family life. Architectural detailing includes double glazing throughout, passive solar design strategies, and a centrally located wood burner to ensure year-round comfort. The separate laundry and double internal access garage further contribute to the home's functional sophistication. Externally, the residence is framed by mature fruit trees and flourishing vegetable gardens - elements that not only enhance privacy but also contribute to the self-sustaining ethos of the site. The home's strong connection to the outdoors is reinforced through multiple access points and carefully designed flow between interior and exterior spaces, enabling effortless enjoyment of the panoramic rural vistas. This property represents more than a home - it's an architecturally considered lifestyle retreat where structure and setting exist in perfect harmony. Arrange a private viewing today and experience the space, light, and architectural quality for yourself.
