This extraordinary 25 plus acre sanctuary offers a rare opportunity to purchase a lifestyle enveloped by nature and native wildlife in the highly sought-after suburb of Lindendale. Pioneers of the time, with a vision to create a self-sufficient lifestyle for the family, whilst regenerating the lost Big Scrub rainforest, the Laos family set about thoughtfully planting the land with sustainable building materials. This includes a pine plantation and bamboo forest as well as native tree species which now provides an invaluable refuge for wildlife including Koalas, Echidnas, Wallabies, Possums, Gliders and countless species of Birds. The striking homestead is an engineering masterpiece, designed by Estonian architect Evald Laos and built to the highest of standard. It features breathtaking vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams and beautiful parquetry flooring throughout. It is spacious and multi-functional whilst optimising comfort in all seasons.
