Your Domain: A home among the gum trees that doubles as a wellness retreat

If you’ve ever dreamed of a home among the gum trees, then this lavish “treehouse” nestled in pristine bushland north of Sydney could be the one for you.

Split over three levels with wall-to-ceiling windows and wraparound decks, this Bayview residence makes taking in the splendour of the surrounding treetops a breeze.

There’s no denying the location is pretty spectacular. Situated on McCarrs Creek, the property  has easy access to the northern beaches, coveted Pittwater Bay, and is just five minutes from Mona Vale Beach. 

The leafy allotment is also close to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

The house has the feel of a wellness resort and has undergone a complete renovation less than a year ago.

Outside you’ll find a tennis court, a solar-heated magnesium pool and a poolside cabana complete with Finnish sauna. On the top floor there’s a spa awaiting, so you can enjoy the view over the trees in full pamper mode.

Surrounding the house you’ll also find a beautiful mature garden full of native plants such as bottlebrush and kangaroo paw, which are said to attract local wildlife including parrots and wallabies to the home.

Inside, there’s a dedicated “sunset lounge” facing out past the pool and onto the water. Once the sun has set, there’s a “moon view” from the bath – a well-positioned skylight allows you to watch the stars as you bathe.

The whole home radiates warmth. The numerous north-west facing windows invite the sun inside and the warm-toned timber floors, window frames, and furniture help add to the cosiness. The copious use of timber in the home’s construction only helps the home to blend seamlessly with the surrounding trees.

The top two floors contain the house’s six bedrooms, cleverly sectioned off away from the living areas for maximum privacy. The very top level is even more secluded and is where you’ll find the largest and guest bedroom, alongside the home’s study area.

The home is currently listed on Domain by Noel Nicholson at Ray White Prestige Palm Beach with a price guide of $4.1 – $4.3 million.

Your Domain airs at 10am on Saturdays on Nine. Catch up on all episodes on 9Now.
