Located just 1.5km from the outskirts of Bellingen, in an elevated position with wonderful views and sea breezes, is this magnificent architecturally designed (by atelier aura, bellingen) pavilion style home on 6.45 manageable acres. The drive up to the property provides little indication of what you are about to experience. Prominent yet concealed, secluded and nestled into a natural backdrop of foothills and forest. Arrival unfolds to greet you with expansive views and... to an eclectic mix of stylish, bespoke and thoughtfully designed pavilions. Your new home! The living and bedroom pavilions, set well back from the road are together, centrally positioned and orientated on the property: to maximise views (prospect), optimise land use access to four new sculptured and contoured terraces (pragmatic) and to capture changing light and sea breezes (comfort). This pavilion style living affords the luxury of adaptable use of space, so that private, semi-private and entertainment functions can co-exist. Immerse yourself in the mix of natural finished timbers, painted floors and rough patina's of cement rendered walls. Feel that these are offset by contrast with the modern and amenity of steel, stainless steel and glass. The structures are a post and beam construction, articulated by a robust use of hardwood and steel Rendered mud brick walls and aerated Hebel floor panels have been integrated into the design to provide thermal mass. Solar passive measures are applied in the living pavilion with full width glazing to capture low winter sun. Wide eaves shed summer sun. Solar active measures in the form of solar heating to bedroom pavilion. The sun and wind are regulated and filtered using sliding screens, outdoor curtains and to the north an orange hue trumpet flower vine. The living pavilion interior is a single, large, open plan space. A modern kitchen that includes stainless steel bench tops, Smeg oven, Asko dishwasher and LG built in fridge/freezer. The spatial cathedral ceilings flow into gable windows. There are solid finish hardwood floors, LED lighting throughout and a thermal mass combustion heater. Space for an 18 sitter dining table and more.. Like when sculpture meets storage: an expressive full-length hardwood bookshelf feature in the form of angled alcoves with stepped shelving and tapered supports articulated by full height louvres, grace the living pavilion's east wall. Outside is a large and impressive undercover deck with a second kitchen and BBQ area with a direct connection to indoor kitchen/dining making it the ideal hub for entertaining family and friends. Joined by a connecting bridge, the dormitory pavilion is equally impressive. There are 4 bedrooms over two levels that include a covered outdoor bedroom; what a great idea! The rooms are spacious and the positioning of them has been well thought out. A playful mix of louvres and pivot windows are staggered to optimise cross ventilation. Two bathrooms serve two levels. Centrally located and accessed from connecting walkways. Solid timber hardwood walls and door features soften the space. The drive through carport pavilion provides sheltered arrival and departures with direct access to front entrance. It accommodates two vehicles and has ample storage. Up the hill, and away from the main house, is the guest pavilion. A classic, old style riveted aluminium and stainless steel lined 20ft shipping container with high density insulation, has been simply retrofitted with hardwood timber floors and striking multi colour steel panel sliding door. A skillion roof covers exterior decks and full length stairs forming a podium to views. This area would make a wonderful music or art studio as well as a great teenager getaway or guest accommodation. On hot summer days, immerse yourself in the mosaic tiled Epsom mineral salt plunge pool. Surrounded by a sculptural steel framed cylindrical tower with a burnt timber finish and translucent roof, this is a haven for relaxation. Outside and there are plenty of flat areas, making mowing simple, plus a thriving citrus orchard and raised garden beds for vegetables. Attractive and easily maintained gardens are positioned around the home There is a spring fed dam, uncleared bushland, cleared areas and a gully ripe for rainforest regeneration. Services include grid feed solar power, solar hot water, high speed wire-less broadband, 90,000 litre rainwater tank, hardwood chook shed, reed bed waste water treatment with irrigation to fruit trees and so much more. This is a wonderful property, masterfully designed and built to the highest standard. It would be our pleasure to show you through.
