OFFERING a unique blend of contemporary Australian design and eastern influences is this stunning acreage at Holgate.

Listing agent Kay Wright of Amadeus Realty at Terrigal said that the attention to detail and meticulous design of the home truly make it one of a kind.

"The owners of this property have painstakingly ensured that this home remains true to its design as an original Australian home," she said.

"It's constructed with kiln-dried sandstone bricks, Colorbond roofing and wide, bull-nose verandas."

Owners, Harry and Nan Vella, have travelled extensively and their love of all things eastern and exotic is clearly evident.

The spacious four-bedroom home features stegbar cedar throughout, with timber french doors, a large skylight over the timber kitchen and a bay window in the spacious master bedroom allowing an abundance of natural light in.

Balinese statues are dotted around the indoor solar-heated pool and heated spa set in a glassed-in atrium overlooking the lush gardens.

The highlight of the side garden is a gorgeous Balinese-style thatched gazebo set in immaculate gardens illuminated at dusk by quaint thatched lanterns.

The landscaped gardens around the home feature a combination of low-maintenance cottage plants and rainforest palms.

Rambling roses climb over garden walkways and the camellia hedges bordering the sweeping driveway are truly magnificent when in full bloom.

A creek runs through the 1.2 hectare property, which also features rainforest areas and a waterlily-studded pond beside a weeping willow tree.

The property is set in a valley surrounded by rainforested hills blocking all noises except for the sounds of bellbirds.

It's listed at $995,000, and inspections are invited.
