Overview

Nestled on a peaceful one-acre plot within the highly regarded Kings Cove Estate, this impeccably designed Pavilion-style home offers a harmonious blend of sustainable living and serene natural beauty. Embracing the principles of Passive House construction, the residence presents exceptional thermal efficiency and year-round comfort, achieved through airtight construction, continuous insulation, and expansive double-glazed hardwood windows that invite abundant natural light and captivating views of established gardens and distant waters.

The open-plan living and dining areas are thoughtfully oriented to maximize connection with the outdoors, featuring north-facing glazing to harness winter sunlight and smart shading solutions that provide cooling in summer months. Expansive paved verandahs and a covered alfresco area extend living spaces into the garden, promoting an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is both inviting and practical across all seasons.

Inside, a minimalist Scandinavian-inspired design palette combines clean white walls, local timbers, and pale limed ceilings with durable, polished exposed aggregate concrete floors that contribute to the home's superior thermal performance. The kitchen is a study in practical elegance, equipped with high-quality appliances such as a Bosch induction cooktop and a Fisher & Paykel pyrolytic oven, complemented by ample cabinetry and a spacious walk-in pantry designed to enhance everyday functionality.

The master suite serves as a private sanctuary featuring generous robes, a dressing area, and an ensuite with a frameless walk-in shower and separate toilet.
The second bedroom includes its own ensuite and a sliding door that connects it flexibly to the living area, ideal for use as a guest suite or studio.
Designed for accessibility and longevity, the single-level floorplan is free of steps and includes wide doorways, lever handles, touch-open cabinetry, and easy-care bathrooms with frameless showers and glass splashbacks.

Energy-conscious features are outstanding and include a rooftop solar array with 32 panels, dual rainwater tanks totaling 45,000 litres, a heat pump hot water system, all-electric appliances, and efficient reverse-cycle air conditioners. The garden is a beautifully low-maintenance sanctuary, thoughtfully planted with native species, an orchard, vegetable and herb beds, gravel paths, and dedicated outdoor spaces that attract birdlife and pollinators.

Additional practical amenities include a large laundry with good storage, a double garage with workshop space and an additional toilet, plus a gardening shed. This property is perfectly suited to those who value considered, sustainable design and seek a tranquil retreat within close proximity to local amenities such as the Metung Country Club golf course, Metung Hot Springs, and the vibrant village waterfront.
