From the orchestrated approach to iconic “Carabooda”, well known in the region for the verdant hue of the Gleditsia lined driveway beyond a picturesque timber bridge and rustic wagon, to the rural idyll of one of Montrose’s favoured locations. Stunningly reimagined, the residence redefines contemporary luxury on 6.4 acres (approx.) including a second dwelling, “Shadow Mist”, suiting multi-generational living or investment property income. Discretely sited, the form of this breathtaking four bedroom residence is highlighted by the spellbinding interplay of textured Carabooda stone and sophisticated colour choice for French doors and encircling veranda. Framed by a quiet outdoor entertaining area at the top of a spectacular retaining wall and stairs, with outdoor fireplace, and solar and gas heated inground pool and spa with merbau decking shaded by a beautiful Japanese maple. There is an almost hypnotic appeal to the modern farmhouse interiors, arched motifs are woven into the design, first noted upon entry through black farmhouse doors, tying in with French doors to all rooms along the front veranda. Handcrafted, a sinuous plastered staircase leads to an enticing arched doorway, while a niche in the entrance hall and doorway leading to a hall, repeat the detail. Sweeping panelled ceilings soar above the entry and living room. To one side of this voluminous space is a beautifully appointed farmhouse kitchen, and adjacent dining area where a stunning light fixture hovers above the table and French doors extend to back veranda. A focal point Carabooda stone fireplace with gorgeous mantle, natural stone hearth and chimney rising to the upper reaches, anchors the room, while a panelled wall, in the softest of sage greens, extends into the dining space, complementing both the stone and light engineered floorboards.
