Designed by architect Francis Fong, the brief was to provide a luxurious, environmentally sustainable and modern home for those inside, whilst ensuring the sense of being in the Australian bush. At all times you’ll feel the clever balance between the privacy of a home and the freedom of the outdoors.

The house has been designed to ensure that no matter which room you are enjoying, you can appreciate the setting, the bush and water views, the sounds and the sea breeze. It will go to auction on 28 August 2010.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

This is how a property should present; all areas of this beautifully built, timeless residence at Korora are linked both in terms of their functionality and colour, texture, shape, lighting and mood. The exterior areas of the property have been cleverly “zoned” to take advantage of the views (that others only ever get to photograph), the sounds of the ocean, the sun’s position and the different needs of all who will enjoy these spaces.

Now is the time to buy coastal property. This property is in arguably the most prestigious and sought after enclave on the mid-north coast.

From the long curved driveway leading to the house and parking in the 4 vehicle garage with workshop, this 3 year old, 5 bedroom/3 bathroom residence is immaculate. The ocean and mountain views from all living, dining and entertaining areas are simply stunning – and of course the short walk to the safe swimming beach makes it more alluring.

Enter the house via a stone tiled reception. To the right of this is private guest accommodation consisting of a large bedroom (with built-in wardrobes), a inside/outside lounging and entertaining “enclosure” with direct access to the swimming pool, a large shower room and separate toilet – all overlooking the ocean! This entire area is laid with large non-slip porcelain floor tiles.

From the main reception area and up a few stairs is another reception area. There is a further al fresco dining and entertaining area with direct access to the swimming pool from this level also, together with a formal dining room, a media/sitting room, a roomy office – yes, even the office has expansive ocean views – and a cream and white and stainless steel Miele kitchen.

Off the media/sitting room is another courtyard with lawns and childrens (or adults) play area including an in ground trampoline. This area is surrounded by brick rendered wall gardens and an Indonesian stone sculpture is a special feature; it is very private and also has private access by pathway to the swimming pool.

Further along from the kitchen is a full spa bathroom and guest powder room with double sinks and a separate toilet. Along the hallway (with plenty of linen storage) are the second, third and fourth bedrooms, the homework/computer room or further office and a large laundry. All bedrooms have in-built wardrobes. From this section of the house is a large tiled courtyard for drying and airing clothing and linen and a simply designed garden centred by a fragrant frangipani.

Let’s go back to the upper reception area. Turn to the left and there is what can only be described as a luxurious “parents retreat” – a large, comfortable lounging area, the master bedroom and an en suite shower room and toilet. From this bedroom’s private and spacious balcony the only sounds to be heard are those of the birdlife and the ocean waves. And the only things you see are views overlooking the mountains to the north-west, the reserve to the north-east and the sapphire blue South Pacific Ocean. There is simply no better place to live!

Other features of this cleverly designed property are the charcoal powder coated doors, windows and screens, charcoal coloured shingle tiled roofing, the double size front door of solid New Guinea rosewood, smoky glass pool surround, non-slip tiles in all courtyards including pool surround, the exterior house walls of brick with textured render, the long driveway flanked by tropical gardens – and quite simply the overall privacy of the property from the “outside”.
