Set amongst beautifully established gardens on one acre in a peaceful court within the highly regarded Kings Cove Estate, this thoughtfully crafted two-bedroom, two-bathroom Pavilion-style residence offers a rare opportunity to embrace a quieter, healthier and more considered way of living.
Designed around comfort, connection with nature and long-term liveability, this exceptional home has been built to Passive House principles by a Certified Passive House builder, delivering outstanding thermal performance, energy efficiency and year-round comfort while maintaining a beautifully understated aesthetic.
From the moment you enter, the relationship between indoors and outdoors is unmistakable. Expansive double-glazed hardwood-framed windows and sliding doors frame the established gardens, treetops and distant water views, bringing natural light and the changing seasons into the living spaces. Surrounded by carefully selected native and indigenous plantings, the garden provides a constantly evolving outlook, with abundant birdlife and pollinators making the landscape their home.
The open-plan living and dining area has been designed as a calm and inviting space that maximizes the outlook in every direction. North-facing glazing captures winter sunlight, while considered shading, verandahs and cross ventilation provide comfort through the warmer months. The connection continues outdoors with extensive paved verandahs and a covered, enclosed alfresco area providing sheltered spaces to enjoy the garden in every season.
The minimalist Scandinavian-inspired interiors offer a timeless simplicity, with clean white walls, local feature timbers and a pale limed timber ceiling lining creating a warm yet restrained palette. The stunning polished exposed aggregate concrete floor provides durability and easy maintenance while contributing to the home's exceptional thermal performance.
The beautifully appointed kitchen reflects the home's practical and refined approach, featuring easy-clean white cabinetry, glass splashbacks, a Bosch induction cooktop, Fisher & Paykel pyrolytic oven and a generous walk-in pantry. Every element has been considered to create a functional space without unnecessary complexity.
The main bedroom is a private retreat with generous robes, dressing area and an ensuite featuring a frameless walk-in shower and separate toilet. The second bedroom includes its own ensuite and a clever sliding door connection to the living area, allowing flexibility as a guest suite, studio, reading room or additional living space when not required as a bedroom.
Designed with accessibility and longevity in mind, the entire home is single level with no steps, wide 900mm doorways, lever handles, touch-open cabinetry and thoughtfully designed wet areas. Frameless showers, glass splashbacks and minimal joins create bathrooms and utility spaces that are easy to maintain and built for comfortable living well into the future.
The home's Passive House-inspired design delivers an exceptionally comfortable internal environment through a combination of continuous insulation, airtight construction, double glazing, passive solar principles and a 24-hour filtered fresh air ventilation system. Tested at an impressive 0.24 air changes per hour, the home significantly exceeds typical building performance, helping maintain stable temperatures while reducing reliance on heating and cooling. The result is a healthier living environment with minimal draughts, condensation and temperature fluctuations.
Energy efficiency is further enhanced through:
• Rooftop solar system with 32 panels across two phases and two inverters
• Two 22,500 litre rainwater tanks (45,000 litres total capacity)
• Heat pump hot water system timed to utilise solar generation
• All-electric appliances
• Two Mitsubishi Heavy Industries reverse cycle air conditioners
• Silent ceiling fans throughout
• Electric external E-Zip blinds and internal electric clerestory blinds for additional climate control
Beyond the home itself, the one-acre gardens have been thoughtfully designed as a low-maintenance natural sanctuary. Hardy native and indigenous plantings have been selected to attract birds and pollinators, complemented by an orchard, vegetable patch, herb beds, gravel pathways and carefully positioned outdoor spaces. The result is a garden that feels established, connected to the landscape and rewarding without being labour intensive.
Practical features include a large laundry with excellent storage, connecting via the breezeway/alfresco to a spacious double garage that includes a third toilet plus workshop/storage space. A gardening shed provides storage for tools and space for potting.
Located amongst quality homes in Kings Cove Estate, this property enjoys the amenity of the renowned Metung Country Club golf course and clubhouse, offering golf, bar facilities and casual dining nearby. The popular Metung Hot Springs provides an opportunity for relaxation and wellbeing, while the village of Metung is only a short drive away with its waterfront dining, cafes, shops, lakeside boardwalk and relaxed coastal lifestyle.
A home for those who value thoughtful design, sustainability, simplicity and connection to nature - a private Metung retreat where comfort, wellbeing and considered living come together.
