Jutting out on a spur high on the escarpment above the historic village of Berry, Sequoia has unmatched 270 degree views across temperate rainforest, seven mile beach and the unspoilt south coast beyond.

This sanctuary set on five acres embodies all aspects of resort living with absolute privacy. The house itself is a contemporary classic inspired by its situation amongst extensive seasonal forests and gardens planted around a small pond and pavilion.

The entrance to the house on the second floor faces the gardens but once through the front door you are greeted by a generous foyer and gallery that connect to the three guest bedrooms and bathrooms. Walking downstairs to the living area of the house reveals its greatest attribute.

Sequoia opens out on to a large stone and lawned terrace with a tiled wet edge pool and fire-pit that drop away into the view. The dining and lounge room with open fireplace are positioned to take in the point blank views of the coast. Adjacent to this room are both the modern kitchen with limestone floors and bench tops and a secondary living area with fireplace, library and screening room.

The two wings of the house open up to give the impression of two pavilions around a central courtyard and reflection pool. The large main bedroom overlooking the coast has two separate walk-in wardrobes and a stone tiled en-suite with a large sunken bath.

Other areas of the house contain a secondary dining room and cellar , gymnasium and large home office.

Not only is the house the star of this property but the gardens deserve top billing as well. Autumnal leaves make way for drifts of bulbs that carpet the forest floor whilst water runs through small waterholes to the maple rimmed pond. Hedges of copper and green beech circle and embrace water features and dry stoned walls.

Quite simply, Sequoia with its designer edge, magnificent gardens and view of Australia’s wild southern coast is world class.
