Unplug in Paradise:
Your personal Coastal retreat
Waterfront Splendour
Project Summary
Year Completed: 2012
Project Type: Residential
This award winning custom-built residence features rock walls, beautiful nursery plants and gardens, from the dock, right up to retaining the main driveway. Whilst the view of the lake is quite breathtaking from any area of this property, the other astounding part of this beautiful home is that it is half built into a rockface.
This home also has a half basketball court with lines poured into the concrete driveway as well as large retractable nets for ‘game-time’. The main front beds are done in a xeri-scaped low level planting theme to give a clean tidy look as well as deal with the large septic and drainage field.
Key Features:
- Mountain Ash rock walls built using a combination of large machines and by hand to give maximum useable areas ie planting beds, seating areas and access points.
- Flagstone path’s and patio’s on both side of the house.
- Irrigation system installed throughout the property.
- Raised planting beds built to create enclosed secluded flagstone seating area.
- Accessing back of property to build raised walkway to dock after permits acquired.
- Careful selection of Mountain Ash Stone as homeowner only wanted the squarest of Stone.
- Working with elaborate drainage system throughout the property to direct excess water away from building and past rock outcrop.
Challenges:
- Elaborate drainage systems were installed, including aqua-blox, drains, basins and pits to remove water from the property
- Project staging was essential to its success, dealing with access issues as limited storage areas for numerous trades building the house
