Summary:
LAST CHANCE, This highly rated property is no longer holiday renting after 14 march. Get in while you can!
Elm Ocean Grove provides guests with a year-round resort-style sanctuary in an unrivalled setting. This luxurious home is a quiet retreat for couples and families to wind down, tune out and spend time together both indoors and outdoors. A beautiful sparkling pool, sublime master suite, quiet reading nooks, fully equipped kitchen, tranquil tropical inspired gardens surrounded by a chorus of birdlife and private access to the Blue Waters Lake and walking trail via a rear access gate.

The Space:
Elm Ocean Grove is a statement in sophisticated design and bespoke luxury. A day in the life here presents a different dynamic depending on the time of the day; it’s waking up to the birdlife in the mornings, it’s being able to walk around the lake or to the local coffee shop during the day, and it’s enjoying the beautiful outdoor setting in the evening.

Designed to promote nature connectedness, Elm Ocean Grove is a pared back stylish home where you can escape your everyday. Extensive glazing provides stimulation through views of natural elements such as the gardens, sky, birds, tranquil waterfall and pond, and the edgeless mineral pool. Every space in the home encourages you to observe and appreciate the views.

From the driveway to the lakeside trail below, everything is special. The Elm tree commands the streetscape, while breathtaking landscaped gardens create a lush tropical vibe and the towering Manna Gum tree on the lake reserve provide more visual anchors for the home. Beyond the arrival courtyard, a double height space is revealed that links all levels of the home together. The home’s interior is configured around this central hall, with tiered levels that change throughout the floorplan and playfully segregate the space.

Intuitively planned windows and skylights create interior-exterior connections that result in meaningful spaces that evoke a feeling of ‘home’. Thoughtfully renovated with its mid-century origins in mind, you will love the warm and inviting ambience, with rich textures and coastal comfort throughout. The furniture and homewares take tonal cues from earthy elements; Blackbutt timber interiors and exterior cladding link the indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a seamless flow between environments.

The kitchen is truly unique. Plants feature in an elevated indoor garden that adds sensory appeal. Sunlight permeates the space through clerestory windows to the west, bringing the outside in. Home cooks will adore the sleek kitchen with integrated fridge, dishwasher, coffee pod machine, stone island bench and butler’s pantry.

The sophisticated combination of timber and stone creates luxe interiors. The open plan kitchen, living and breakfast booth is the main gathering hub, with south and east facing aspects taking in the surrounding verdant garden. A gas log fireplace adds to the cosy ambience, with a Smart TV (Netflix connectivity).

A second living space includes a home office with bi-fold doors to conceal the working environment when not in use. The dining room overlooks the pool and connects to the covered alfresco area - outdoor living is made easy with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue. Recently winners of the “Master Pool Builders Award for best pool and landscape” in its division, this mineral water swimming pool is the crowning jewel of the exterior setting, with dual solar and gas heating for year-round use.

The spacious floorplan offers five beautifully appointed bedrooms with hotel quality sheets and bath towels, making your stay as pleasurable as possible. Please BYO pool towels. Master bedroom suite features a solid Blackbutt timber King bed and direct access to an outdoor courtyard. Velux skylights with motorised screens are designed to retract to let the sunshine pour in, or stargaze at night. Special features include a gas log fireplace, ceiling fan and dressing room with feature timber grain cabinetry. The luxurious ensuite continues the elegance with underfloor heating and floor-to-ceiling glazing taking in the outdoor waterfall and pond.

Four additional bedrooms (all with ceiling fans, 2 with SSAC) include a 2nd master with French door access to the outdoor courtyard. Relax in the central family bathroom, equipped with underfloor heating and a freestanding egg-shaped bath with full wall window and garden/pond outlook.
