Set amongst approximately 2.15 hectares of private bushland in Sandford, this thoughtfully designed contemporary home offers a rare combination of modern comfort, natural beauty and independence. Surrounded by native bushland and positioned to capture sweeping coastal outlooks, the home embraces its setting through expansive glazing, generous outdoor spaces and a considered connection between indoors and out.
From the moment you arrive, there is a wonderful sense of seclusion. The home's clean, contemporary exterior sits comfortably within the landscape, while natural materials and considered finishes bring warmth and character throughout. Dark cladding, exposed brick and timber detailing create a distinctive look, complemented by a substantial timber deck extending along the main living spaces.
Inside, light-filled living is framed by the surrounding landscape, with the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge forming the heart of the home. Extensive glazing draws natural light deep into the interior and brings the bushland into view, while timber-look flooring, crisp white walls and natural textures create a warm and inviting aesthetic. An ambient wood heater is centrally positioned within the living area, adding warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months and making this a welcoming space to enjoy year-round.
At the centre of the living zone, the contemporary kitchen is designed for connection, featuring a substantial stone island with waterfall edges and breakfast bar seating. Quality cabinetry provides excellent storage, complemented by a generous walk-in pantry, premium appliances and gas cooking. Perfectly positioned for everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen connects effortlessly with the dining and lounge areas, with the natural landscape providing a beautiful backdrop.
Extending from the main living spaces, the expansive 58m² timber deck creates a seamless transition between indoors and out. Generously proportioned and partially sheltered, it provides multiple areas for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Large sliding doors open the home to the deck, inviting you to enjoy everything from quiet mornings amongst the trees to evenings spent entertaining family and friends.
Four bedrooms provide generous accommodation, with the master suite complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and stylish ensuite. Two of the additional bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, while the generous fourth bedroom offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a second living area, media room or home office. The beautifully appointed family bathroom features a freestanding bath, walk-in glass shower and floating timber vanity, while a separate laundry and additional storage add further practicality to the home.
Comfort and energy efficiency have been carefully considered, with double glazing, wall insulation, reverse-cycle heating and air conditioning complementing the wood heater. A 7kW solar system with 30kWh battery storage, rainwater tanks, septic system and bottled gas support a more self-sufficient lifestyle, allowing the home to operate with reduced reliance on external utilities.
Outside, the expansive grounds offer an exceptional sense of space and seclusion, with native vegetation, established trees and a dam contributing to the property's natural character. A substantial garage/workshop provides secure vehicle accommodation, generous storage and room for hobbies or projects, while ample additional parking adds further practicality.
A nearby trail provides a natural connection to the coastline, offering opportunities to explore the surrounding bushland and nearby beaches, while at home, the peaceful setting provides an ideal place to slow down and enjoy the landscape.
Combining contemporary style, sweeping coastal outlooks, energy-efficient features and an extraordinary connection to nature, this remarkable Sandford property offers the freedom of spacious rural living with the comfort and convenience of a thoughtfully designed modern home.
