790 Back Creek Road, Lochiel NSW 2549

Embraced By Rolling Hills

House Sold - Lochiel NSW

There are hidden treasures to be found on the Sapphire Coast and in the beautiful locality of Lochiel, you’ll find a stunning gem! 790 Back Creek Road is a three-bedroom home of outstanding quality set upon land just shy of 25 acres with sea glimpses. On arrival, you’re embraced by rolling hills and a Kurrajong tree says ‘welcome’, beckoning to the children with swing sets dancing from her branches!

This solar passive, north-facing home is just over two years old and has been thoughtfully constructed to make family living both comfortable and affordable. Throughout the expansive open plan living area, large windows capture the sunlight creating a warm, well-lit sanctuary for the winter months. Raked ceilings add to the sense of endless space whilst the timber flooring adds an earthy element to the area. A wood-fire stands at the ready for that moment when the sun sinks – although the slab beneath the house will continue to release warmth even as the night settles. During the summer months, clever window positioning means that the light remains but heat isn’t captured! And the cool sea breeze of summer actually makes a direct line for the house!

Blending into the large open plan living space is the kitchen. Again, it’s been designed with family life in mind. Top quality fixtures are found throughout including Corian bench tops, a SMEG gas stove with electric dual ovens, soft close drawers and a white cottage-sink. Bench space and storage appears endless although it’s the large island bench with its decorative timber column legs that stands as the feature. It’s a bench that could serve as the family dining table for those easy nights at home but could also become the homework haven while meals are prepared! Those that love to bake or entertain will certainly make use of the vast space it provides. Adjoining the kitchen is a Butler’s Pantry that includes fridge space, a sink and over bench lighting.

Flowing on from this generous living/kitchen area is another space – a quieter, smaller nook that can be sectioned off with a sliding door. It’s a warm, light-filled space where the kids can tuck themselves away without being completely isolated. Nearby, built in bi-fold doors open to reveal a space ready to become a tuck-away office or study.
Down the hallway, two large, well lit bedrooms are revealed. Each includes stylish built in robes and desk space. A unique recessed “feature shelf” gives these rooms a sense of originality. The main bathroom is generously proportioned and contemporary in design, featuring bluestone floor tiles with separate vanity, shower and toilet (no more fighting, kids!!).

Returning along the hall, a ‘secret door’ leads into the “mud room” and laundry. This is the perfect ‘tradesman’s entrance’ for the family as they return home from outdoor adventures or a tough day at school or work! There’s a place for everything and plenty of bench and cupboard space!

Tucked away toward the back of the home is the luxurious parents retreat. You will feel like you’re waking within the arms of Lochiel’s hills as you take in the views that add to the beauty of this space. The walk in robe is fully fitted out with top quality cabinetry and the ensuite features his’n’hers sinks and an inviting bathtub where you can soak up the gorgeous bushland views.

Outside, you’ll find a 5 car colorbond® garage and a horse shelter constructed from hardwood and matching colorbond®! There are also two water tanks and a small dam. The gardens are awaiting a new owner’s attention, with structural work already done and fertile brown basalt soils already prepared (the perfect way to put your own ‘stamp’ on this lovely property).

There’s a beautiful sense of unity throughout this home; a sense of being stylish and luxurious whilst remaining welcoming and family friendly. This is a new home yet it feels well established – raw, recycled timber doors and unique light fittings give the house a sense of character. Countless hidden touches make this a top quality property and the astute buyer will recognise outstanding value when they see it!
