Home on Indigenous Forest Fringe

Living in a private gated-estate on the forest edge comes about only once in a while. An opportunity to live in a double story 5 bedroom well maintained home with an enclosed gently sloped garden that borders on indigenous forest. Dual Mandate

This property, a sole mandate, is situated in an extraordinary setting and reveals its uniqueness from the outset; forest pathways and at the entrance a "kitchen garden" filled with fruit trees, strawberry hanging baskets and potted herbs. As you enter the house, you are immediately drawn to the generous deck overlooking the forest.

Built around an ancient Yellow Wood tree, the forest is breathtaking, sounds from bird-life and the magic created by the shifting light - changing and revealing different aspects throughout the day.

The timber built, double story home, offers high ceilings, big apertures, attention to detail which present light and comfortable spaces - looking out into the forest and its canopy.

5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms

The home is currently split over two levels: The main home-area on the first level consisting of 4 bedrooms with 4 en-suite bathrooms of varying sizes. Open plan kitchen and dining room. The lounge with its closed wood fireplace creates a snug and cozy space. Neat and tidy with contemporary interior design furniture and finishes. The indoor, outdoor plan and deck area provide its unique forest facing entertainment space.

The bottom level is set up as a studio-style apartment / office and art studio work space / gym with a bathroom and fully functioning kitchen: 1 bathroom, 1 bedroom kitchenette and covered patio and garden access.

There are many options, for a family and for those working from home. Allocate spaces to office /studio or media/playrooms. Continue with the 2 separate levels or convert it back to a single home with ease.

Included with the house is an 8x10m enclosed raised bed vegetable garden nearby on an area of common land. Complimenting this, The Ashlands community members have developed an easily managed and shared vegetable garden. Common land offers forest walks and the rural setting create a wonderful countryside atmosphere.
