Opulent Rural Escape with Pool - An Award Winning Home
Hidden at the end of a private lane and defined by absolute seclusion, Cockatoo is the quintessence of relaxed resort-style living and charm. Commanding an exceptional position with approximately 40 acres of mixed grazing and bushland areas, this breathtaking sanctuary backs onto an extensive greenway network allowing hours of walking, mountain-biking or horse riding pleasure. Spectacular in design, this north-facing, energy-efficient residence features five large bedrooms, segregated master with an ensuite, walk-in-robe and parents retreat, formal lounge room with a slow-combustion heater, gorgeous kitchen overlooking the open plan living area and a massive family room. The formal and informal areas, together with the master bedroom and bedroom two, feature beautiful vaulted ceilings and an extensive use of glass that overlook the rural views, outdoor entertaining areas, in-ground swimming pool, gazebo and magnificently landscaped gardens. The impressive collection of infrastructure includes huge paddock shelters, dressage arena, stables, horse-safe fenced paddocks, a show-jump area, bore, concrete water tanks, concrete horse wash block, fully concreted large shed and an array of beautiful shrubs and trees. Designed to provide flexible living, this stunning luxury home offers an elite lifestyle retreat of the highest order and is a showcase of meticulous architectural design and fine craftsmanship. A unique opportunity.
