Cut deep into a lime stone hill, nestled amongst the trees and parklands; capturing the serenity synonymous with the natural beauty of its coastal location. This stunning sustainable home built in the late 70’s radiates warmth and rustic appeal, with a beautiful mixture of natural and recycled materials from rammed earth walls and exposed wooden beams, to vintage Telephone booth doors.
Boasting a well-appointed kitchen and generous open plan living/dining space, beautifully styled and featuring a vintage 10-seater canteen dinner table, potbelly fireplace and unique handmade lights and pendants that create an ambiance like no other.
Accommodation includes three generous size bedrooms plus a roof concealed ladder, which pulls down to reveal a stunning fourth bedroom loft. Centrally located and newly renovated bathroom with a beautiful deep bath tub and luxurious shower enhances the exposed stone that adds to the earthy feel of the home.
