It streams along golden wood-surfaces and glances across unexpectedly tiled ones.

The long wooden table in the multi-purpose dining room is an easy place to spend hours immersed in creative projects or lively conversation. The TV lounge is the place to relax with its cool light fixtures, open-beam ceilings & electric fireplace. Slide open the doors to enjoy the gleaming pool/spa, fire-lounge & shaded Cabana (w/ bath). There's a flex/play/bunk room, lots of multi-functional cubbies, enclosed open-air workshop, 6200 kWh/year solar system, fresh finishes, resource efficiencies and SO much more to explore. Come check it ALL out - You'll even be surprised how easy it is to get here!
