The home is positioned to take full advantage of the views from every aspect of the home and north to north-west sun. Inside, the tasteful décor with warm timber embellishments and flooring give the home a natural homelike feel.

The open plan kitchen, dining and family room are the hub of the home. The kitchen has plenty of storage and bench space and an additional butler’s pantry, perfect for preparing meals for all your family and friends. At the end of an active day exploring or skiing, retire to the second living space with the cathedral pitched ceiling, exposed beams and schist detailing making it the perfect spot to unwind, and keep warm on the cooler nights by the wood burning fireplace. On the ground floor, you will find the master bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, the ensuite is equipped with a bathtub to soak in while taking in a starlit night.
