Chic Retreat in the Countryside - 400 sqm Home + 200 sqm Apartment On 4.8 Ha

Peaceful, private, and positioned on a quiet no-exit road, this elegantly designed 400 sqm residence captures the essence of luxurious country living, set on 4.8 hectares of prime flat land.

A gated, tree-lined driveway sets the tone, guiding you to this impressive home. A welcoming foyer makes an immediate statement, framed by 3-metre-high antique Mexican doors that open into a contemporary yet timeless open-plan kitchen and dining space.

The expansive designer kitchen is a true centrepiece, blending crisp, clean lines with warm tones, complemented by cutting-edge features and cleverly concealed storage throughout. A well-appointed scullery with outdoor access to gardens enhances both functionality and flow.

Elevated by soaring 3.2-metre stud ceilings, the living and dining areas are beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light. Three sets of bifold doors create effortless indoor-outdoor connection, enhancing the sense of space and delivering seamless flow to the outdoor entertaining area.

Also on the ground floor, a separate intimate living room provides a quiet retreat and flows through to the luxurious master suite. Here, a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed ensuite, complete with a bath positioned to enjoy views of a private garden. A separate guest powder room, finished with exquisite tiling and a rain shower, adds further convenience.

Upstairs, thoughtful design continues with a study nook and an exceptionally spacious bedroom featuring a walk-in wardrobe and its own bathroom—ideal as a second master or guest suite. Two additional generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a separate WC and a connecting lounge or study space, creating the perfect zone for teenagers or extended family living.

Generous internal-access garaging with integrated laundry completes the main home and connects seamlessly to the separate apartment. The home is surrounded by attractive, thoughtfully landscaped plantings and features an inviting outdoor entertaining area with an open wood fireplace.

A 200 sqm apartment offers a versatile and spacious retreat—ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, Airbnb, or a home office. Currently configured with living/bedroom downstairs and a large office upstairs, it includes a kitchenette, bathroom, and walk-in wardrobe.
