3 Kootingal Street, Ashmore

*Option to rent property with or without the guest house* A passion project of a local business family, South African architect Ewald de Weerd of BDA Architecture was engaged to create this unique family home sitting on more than an acre of centrally located Main River land. Taking two years to complete, the grand architectural primary residence, detached guest house and pool house draw inspiration from Arrowtown in New Zealand, Post-War Australia, and America's Cape Cod. Instantly inviting and infinitely elegant, the finest finishes have been carefully curated to achieve the sense that this house has always been. Solid timber floorboards, beams, and joists salvaged from a 100-year-old heritage building are complemented by Calacatta marble, Tuscan tiles, ornate chandeliers, and an imposing 4.8m stone fireplace. Set over two levels, the main residence boasts five well-appointed bedrooms, multiple living areas, a gourmet kitchen with scullery and butler's pantry, subterranean wine cellar and library. The property also hosts a detached two-bedroom guest house, a pool house, a 25m lap pool, waterfront fire pit, ski hut, boat ramp, two jet ski docks and a 12m/39.4ft pontoon. Entertain up to 500 guests in the main residence where doors stack aside to create an effortless flow to multiple decks overlooking lush landscaped gardens and rolling green lawns. Panoramic views can be enjoyed throughout the property and extend over Main River to capture the gentle glow of the sun setting behind the hinterland.
