Scandi design in bush idyll

Immerse yourself on over an acre of rainforest in this split-level delight of a fairy tale home. The living is open plan and the feeling is cosy enriched by small details and handmade touches everywhere. From little shelves and tiny high up cupboards to the hardwood floors, this home is full of warmth and a cohesive Scandinavian attitude.

The kitchen is a rustic triumph with handcrafted Merbau hardwood cupboard doors. The contemporary open shelving is up to the minute, as is the breakfast bar. It is completed with a sleek Smeg oven and gas stovetop. The adjacent meals area sits under a large sunny window overlooking the lovely courtyard.

Step down into the living space where a wall of windows invites you to soak up the forest view. This relaxing space is a joy in winter, centred around the wood-fired heater. In summer months you can turn on the split system or open it up to the veranda and while away the time, listening to birds and Cockatoo Creek burbling away. The regenerated native bush features a walking track through the ferns down to the creek where you can watch for wombats, echidnas, and wallabies.

The master bedroom looks out into the bushland and has rolling barn doors tucking away the walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The second bedroom overlooks a gorgeous waratah and the third features a rolling french glass door. The monochrome and sage bathroom is a design masterclass.

If you are looking for a home with heart and a happy-ever-after get straight to the open for this one.
