La Casa

The whole idea was to create a luxury home for a busy couple a beautiful, tranquil mountain retreat that is very different from their inner-city life. “A sensuous home” said award winning architect Elizabeth Watson-Brown of La Casa which was designed in close consultation with the owners.

There are Balinese influences and a contemporary feel in this distinct home of masonry, timber and glass but the most obvious feature is the wonderful way in which it has been designed to bring the outdoors in. Floor to ceiling windows and enormous sliding doors combined with reflection ponds give a wonderful feeling of light and space whilst maximizing the breezes and the sounds of the birds all around. Located on the far north coast of NSW near the Northern Rivers, this home boasts sub-tropical NSW temperatures which make it a paradise all year round.

You can dive into the swimming pool from the master bedroom or step out of the bathroom to an outdoor shower. You can take the stepping stones across the pool and admire the tropical bush setting. La Casa is very unique real estate that has been well considered. It is wonderfully comfortable and inviting, yet low maintenance and easy to lock-up and leave.

Upon entering this wonderful character home the feeling of space is instant and the views over the reflection pond are breathtaking. The first pavilion on the left is every bookworm’s dream and incorporates an expansive library and office space. Along a glass lined hallway you will find the master pavilion overlooking the pool. A low hung window allows you to enjoy the site of the reflection pond and its goldfish from the comfort of your bed; while the large sliding windows capture the pool vistas. There is a spacious ensuite with stone detailing that encompasses a bath that extends out of the floor, an indoor and an outdoor shower.

To the right of the front door you will find the kitchen with its polished concrete bench tops and Silky Oak cabinetry and adjoining living/dining. Slot windows provide high level light and more large glass sliding doors take in the reflection pond and the pool as well as an outdoor entertaining area. Beyond this a wooden deck connects the living pavilion to the guest pavilion. Here guests can enjoy the views from the garden in every direction, self-cater in their kitchenette and sitting space as well as enjoying the benefit of their own ensuite bathroom.

La Casa is very luxurious real estate and a masterful unique property, ideal as a weekend retreat or as the architect intended, as the sensuous distinct home of a couple escaping a hectic life!
