Originally architecturally designed as a holiday retreat, this stunning home was built by the current vendors, who have cherished it as their permanent residence for the past four years. The design caters beautifully to both intimate living for a couple and hosting larger groups with ease.

The central hub is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with 3-metre-high ceilings. The designer Palazzo kitchen offers excellent storage and quality appliances, combining function with style. From here, bi-fold doors open to a superb indoor/outdoor room, which flows to a large entertaining deck with spa pool - perfect for gatherings in every season.

Off the indoor/outdoor room are two double bedrooms with a main bathroom between them, creating an ideal Airbnb option or private guest wing. The master suite, positioned off the living area, enjoys its own ensuite. With no hallways, the design is streamlined and efficient, maximising every space.

Year-round comfort is ensured with a gas fire, heat pump, under-tile heating in the bathrooms, and an HRV system. Clever design also allows half the home to be closed off in winter, keeping it cosy and efficient without sacrificing comfort.

Bathed in sun and showcasing stunning alpine vistas, the property also enjoys the golf course right across the road. Practical touches include ample off-street parking, two generous garden sheds, and an automated irrigation system.

Homes of this calibre are rare in Hanmer Springs. This one truly delivers the wow factor - simply the best!
