Some homes impress you. Others make you exhale the moment you walk through the door.

Perched peacefully amongst the trees on 1.78 acres in the tightly held enclave of Grandfathers Gully, this custom-designed residence is one of those rare homes that instantly feels like a sanctuary. Surrounded by established gardens and tranquil bushland, the property enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy, making the acreage feel far larger than its already generous proportions.

Bathed in natural light, soaring ceilings and walls of glass framing the surrounding landscape from almost every room, while the warmth of spotted gum timber, burnished concrete and carefully selected finishes create a home that is equal parts coastal, Scandinavian and completely timeless.

Although you'll feel a world away from everything, you're surprisingly close to it all. Just a three minute drive in one direction brings you to the cafés, shops and patrolled sands of Surf Beach, while three minutes the other way delivers you to the crystal-clear waters of Lilli Pilli Beach. It's the best of both worlds-complete privacy without sacrificing convenience.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the floorplan evolves with your family. Three exceptionally generous bedrooms are complemented by a large media room that was originally designed to accommodate a fourth bedroom if desired. Every practical detail has been considered too, from the walk-in linen cupboard and laundry chute to the oversized mud room and an abundance of cleverly integrated storage throughout.

The heart of the home is nothing short of spectacular. An expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space is framed by soaring ceilings and oversized windows, inviting the outdoors in from every angle. The kitchen has been designed for those who love to cook and entertain, featuring premium appliances including Neff Slide and hide oven, a fully appointed butler's pantry and countless bespoke storage solutions where no expense has been spared.

Comfort has been elevated to another level. Alongside the striking custom fireplace and reverse cycle air conditioning, the home is equipped with hydronic heating and cooling beneath the burnished concrete floors, creating an incredible sense of warmth underfoot through winter and cool comfort during summer that simply has to be experienced. Sensor-controlled ceiling fans quietly work in the background, improving energy efficiency without a second thought.

The main suite offers a peaceful escape of its own, waking to uninterrupted views of the surrounding bushland. Even the automatic blinds have been thoughtfully included, allowing you to enjoy the morning light without ever leaving the comfort of bed. The adjoining bathroom is beautifully appointed, complete with a semi-freestanding bath perfectly positioned to soak in the leafy outlook, creating a daily ritual that feels more like a luxury retreat than home.

Step outside and the lifestyle becomes even more compelling. Established gardens wrap around the home, with mature fruit trees creating an edible landscape that changes with the seasons. Chickens thrive in their beautifully crafted coop, children have endless room to explore, and there are countless quiet places to simply sit and enjoy the sounds of nature. Whether you're hosting friends beside the sparkling saltwater pool, gathering in one of several outdoor entertaining spaces, rinsing off beneath the outdoor shower after a day at the beach or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee amongst the trees, every part of the property has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its remarkable setting.

Completing the package is a double garage with internal access and every practical inclusion expected of a home of this calibre.

Beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed and positioned in one of the South Coast's most tightly held lifestyle pockets, this is more than just an acreage property. It's a home where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony-a place to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the space, privacy and lifestyle that so few properties can genuinely offer.

I assure you, this will be a joy to inspect and a privilege to own. Give me a call today.
