Architectural Stunner in Coastal Sanctuary

This exceptional property occupies a premium position in the private waterfront haven of Tern Point, with an extensive coastal outlook across the farmland and out to the upper estuary and sand spit. The understated Paul Clarke designed home features two intersecting forms carefully oriented towards the views to maintain privacy. The house nestles discreetly into its surroundings.
The main volume is wrapped in dark grey metal tray, creating a protective shell that is durable and easy to maintain. Its roof is folded diagonally to create a gentle sculptural form. This is intersected by a lower cedar-lined 'box'. Entering from the north and passing through a short hallway, the space opens to the main living area and expansive views. Sliding doors to the deck open completely, disappearing through a slot in the wall and extending the living space seamless out onto the deck. To one side, a lower ceiling and oiled cedar lining create a cozy space to relax at the end of the day.
The main hub of the dwelling encapsulates everything to feel you are living your dream. The kitchen features a bespoke wooden island, and the living and dining areas flow flawlessly to the cedar lined outdoor decks. A 'Studio' wood burner adds warmth to cool winter nights, whilst the lap pool is perfect for cooling off and keeping fit, adding a resort feel to the guest area. The master suite and guest bedroom are tucked away on the east and west side respectively with terraces overlooking framed views of the farm. An external cedar wall screening the spa pool completes the owners wing
A separate pod is ideal for an office space and the spacious double garaging mirrors the design features of the home. There is also an existing barn with mezzanine floor and consented bathroom, currently used as the owners' artist studio. A pond graces the landscaped grounds.
Tern Point is a unique location with over a kilometre of estuary frontage, private boat ramp, stunning walking tracks, exclusive recreational areas and much more.
