There are homes designed around the practicalities of everyday life. And then there are places created simply to experience something remarkable.

For those seeking a hinterland retreat rather than simply another home, this is a place to disappear to for a weekend, gather with friends, spend a season, work without distraction or simply arrive and do very little at all.

And when you do want to venture out, the restaurants, galleries, cafés and village atmosphere of Montville are only minutes away.

High above the landscape in Montville, this extraordinary architectural residence occupies just over an acre of private, established grounds, with a northern outlook stretching across the rolling hinterland to the distant coastline.

It is a view that is never quite the same twice. Early morning light moves across the valleys below, weather rolls in from the coast and, as evening falls, the landscape takes on an entirely different character. Throughout the home, expansive glazing and soaring spaces ensure that outlook is always present.

Designed and built by acclaimed Australian architect Edwin Codd AM, the residence is distinctive, unconventional and wonderfully individual. Steel framed and clad in Alucobond, its clean architectural lines are softened internally by beautiful maple floors, natural light and bespoke elements created specifically for the home.

Living spaces extend across two levels, with the principal four-bedroom accommodation complemented by an attic retreat above. An expansive entertainer's deck becomes a natural extension of the interior and one of the home's most compelling spaces – suspended above the landscape and perfectly positioned to take in the northern outlook.

Outside, mature native gardens provide privacy and frame the residence without competing with the view. The gated 4,107m² grounds are established and manageable, allowing time here to be spent enjoying the property rather than maintaining it.
