It is immediately apparent from the moment you arrive at "Wirrannina,"that much thought and careful planning has gone into the conceptualisation and creation of this totally unique property. Elevated to capture exquisite outlooks over the tree canopy, this private oasis is truly something to behold.

The original Jarrah cottage of the property has been carefully restored and enhanced by the owners and has been re-wired, re-stumped, re-plumbed and re-roofed. Wrap around decked verandahs on three sides of the cottage provide multiple sitting areas and entertaining options regardless of the season.

Enter the home to the main living and dining area which is overlooked by the kitchen. Soaring ceilings clad with pine and custom-designed feature windows ensure these areas are bathed in natural dappled light while massive sliding doors afford picturesque views over the tree canopy beyond. Original Jarrah flooring and eclectic timber accents feature here as they do throughout the home, lending a feeling of warmth and luxury which is complemented perfectly by antique chandelier light fittings.

The kitchen forms the hub of this delightful space. A stunning combination of old and new work together beautifully to create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. Clever design sees an antique shop front counter meld perfectly with divine Moroccan hand-made tiles and modern appliances.

A cosy lounge is adjacent to this space and provides a lovely snug but could also be converted back the a second bedroom in the main residence if desired.

Wander through from the kitchen to the main bedroom. Here, natural pine tones on the raked ceilings give way to a crisp white finish. The ensuite is simple in design and stunning in its simplicity. A marble double vanity in colours reminiscent of an Australian landscape work perfectly against rough-hewn travertine tiling which graces the walls to ceiling height. An over-sized open shower completes the picture.

Separated from the main dwelling to ensure privacy but cleverly connected by decking and a bespoke stairway, the studio is breathtaking. Feature windows and doors and bespoke timber finishes complement the original cottage while lending this wing an edgy and modern feel.

Enter the studio to find a light-filled casual dining area which overlooks a large sunken bedroom. A kitchenette located at the top of the stairs allows guests to cater to their own need whilst a large fully fitted walk in robe which is accessed via a separate corridor on this level ensures there is plenty of storage.

The bedroom is light-filled and airy courtesy of the soaring ceilings and masses of tinted windows. The ensuite has a sunken bath and glass walls on two sides which provide a pretty outlook over the gardens. The option to easily add another bedroom "pod" to share the use of this bathroom is an option for those who desire to do so.

The same careful thought and attention to detail which has gone into the design of the residence is evident in the outdoor areas where exquisite garden design works well with the bamboo, natural bush and mature trees to create a private oasis.. A large pond with waterlilies is the focal point of the rear entertaining area and is overlooked by a romantic outdoor shower whilst a heated sunken jacuzzi provides an option for the fainter of heart.

But the practicalities of life have not been forgotten in the conception of this masterpiece. A large fully insulated man cave (shed) with three phase power, drive through access, air conditioned office, games room and storage area could serve a multitude of uses. With plumbing also available, there is the option to convert this to extra ancillary living should it be required. (STCA)
