This pool and house was built entirely by us. The sloping block had a beautiful view out to the Blackall Range and so the design of the house and location of the pool was chosen to maximise this as much as possible. The 9m long x 3m wide pool is entirely above ground and just over 3m high at its tallest. Being situated just above an existing retaining wall, there was extensive work involved in the footings ensuring the pool never moves. The beautiful four bedroom and two bathroom house has a great sized butler’s pantry, fully tiled bathrooms, floating timber floors and high ceilings throughout.
