Overview

Peaceful Plateau

Elevated on the back row of Peninsula Bay and surrounded by mature native plantings, lush lawns and reserve land with forest beyond the rear boundary, this beautifully positioned home enjoys spectacular views across the lake to the distant mountain ranges. The setting creates a truly peaceful plateau, rich in privacy and natural beauty. Thoughtfully designed, the property offers multiple private outdoor living areas, providing options to follow the sun or retreat to shade on warm summer days. The main living wing opens seamlessly to the central courtyard, where a feature gas fireplace creates a stunning focal point and an inviting space for entertaining family and friends. To the rear, the patio and decked area capture the morning sun and provide the perfect spot for breakfast while enjoying birdsong from the neighbouring forest. At the heart of the home, the central galley kitchen is well appointed with a full-length breakfast bar and walk-in pantry. It services the dining area, sitting area and lounge with ease, forming a well-balanced open-plan layout that keeps everyone connected. A linkway between the two wings provides access to a separate media room opening onto the rear deck, along with a dedicated office overlooking the central courtyard. This leads through to the hallway servicing the powder room, separate laundry, generous walk-in linen and storage room, and the bedroom accommodation. The main bedroom suite, located at the front of the home, opens onto the immaculate lawn and features a large walk-in wardrobe and a spacious, well-appointed ensuite. Two further generous bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom with a freestanding bath, while the guest bedroom suite at the rear of the home enjoys its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Opening via ranch sliders to a private decked area, this space is ideal for a dependent family member or potential income from paying guests. An oversized garage with a separate storeroom, along with dedicated boat or caravan parking, provides excellent storage and ample off-street parking, completing this exceptional offering. Phone for additional information or to arrange a private viewing.
