The unique interior welcomes a blend of contemporary and classic styles - incredibly high ceilings with exposed timber look down on polished limestone flooring. The main entrance to the house opens directly onto this spacious living room, with twin double French doors to the rear patio. The high ceilings continue in the bright open-plan dining room, and Bulthaup design kitchen, leading out onto a huge covered terrace.

The intimate half of the house develops off a central corridor. A separate storage area faces the main guest suite, with double French doors to the rear. The corridor ends with the master suite, where the separate bathroom enjoys a unique walk-in shower, while the master bedroom incorporates the same alcoves and stone shelving seen elsewhere in the house. The interior concludes with a third bedroom, with en-suite bathroom and a subtle mezzanine, with hidden chrome ladder for extra sleeping space.

It is the exterior of the house and a succession of outdoor living spaces that truly gives this property the edge. Thoughtfully landscaped gardens with walkways leading over the contours of the land bring you to unexpected destinations; the Zen garden, with its covered deck suspended centimetres above a fountain-fed pond, or the rear patio, with its antique fountain, and twin staircase leading up to a small lawn.

Beyond the kitchen the exterior space opens to the very large heated overflow pool. To the rear of the pool a sculptural garden balances the space between the water and the double garage building.
