Remarkable Rural Retreat

Resting on steel poles high above the hillside, with commanding views as far as the eye can see, a spectacular, yet still modest rural retreat five years in the making; a masterful synergy of inspired architectural vision, powerful contemporary spaces, and the culmination of creative and design ingenuity from award winning Perth architect, Sam Teoh.

The linear house comprising three distinct, yet connected pavilions, perfectly solar oriented to capture summer breezes and winter sun, clad in weatherboard and topped with Colorbond Woodland Grey to blend into the surrounding tree canopy. This extraordinary home features timeless materials and a true connection to the outdoors, offering breathtaking views.

A sublime harmony of perfectly zoned and integrated spaces brings family and friends together for comfortable, laidback living or grand scale entertaining. Natural elements and textures harmonise the connection between indoors and outdoors, with a refined neutral palette acting as the perfect canvas for art, and without distracting from the piece de résistance - the incredible views!

A large axial wall at the entrance separates the guest pavilion from the magnificent main pavilion whilst also acting as the backdrop to the spectacular infinity pool. The southern wing hosts three blissful king size bedrooms, including one with a vast wall of glass looking out to native karri and jarrah trees, and all with frameless corner windows facing west and north overlooking the stunning landscape. In addition are two modern bathrooms, one accessed from the deck and pool.

The central, main pavilion is crafted from concrete and brick with a 6-car drive through garage, workshop and cellar housed in the undercroft. Back above, vast contemporary living and dining areas are anchored with back-to-back Jetmaster wood fires set into exquisite tiered French Paliano Perla limestone fireplaces. A floor to ceiling glass wall frames the glorious infinity pool with uninterrupted views over native jarrah, karri and farmland out towards the ocean. The magnificently appointed country kitchen and large scullery/preparation area are cleverly divided, separated by the impressively sized Aga range and full height doors either side, ensuring that when hosting large parties, caterers can work unnoticed. Bifold doors open to a vast jarrah entertaining deck with jarrah lined open sided pavilion, a well-equipped BBQ kitchen, alfresco dining area, and spectacular infinity pool.

The owners' wing hosts a magnificent library/sitting room with floor to ceiling glass, a striking limestone fireplace and wall of custom bookcases and cabinetry. A recessed sliding door gives way to the idyllic master bedroom - wrapround walls of glass, awe-inspiring views to the ocean, a fireplace in situ in the glass, French doors with direct access to the pool and deck. The exquisite en-suite offers more floor to ceiling glass walls, an elevated bath and open shower overlooking bushland and access to a jarrah balcony curving around the bathroom. The large dressing room hides a spiral staircase leading upwards to a private retreat, art or yoga studio, set amongst the trees.

A spectacular country home, warm and welcoming and perfectly in harmony with the demands of modern life with exceptional family appeal.
