Libby’s Retreat

Welcome to "Libby's Retreat," a serene haven situated in Western Australia's Peel region, just a short drive from Perth. Nestled on the fringes of the Darling Ranges, this single-level holiday house, adorned with breathtaking views of the Peel Estuary and the rolling hills beyond, is a tribute to family and nature. Designed for Libby, Geoff, their children, and grandchildren, this expansive property serves as a canvas for both familial bonds and cattle raising aspirations. Architect Suzie Hunt and the team at Suzanne Hunt Architect (SHA) embarked on a journey that seamlessly intertwined captivating vistas with mindful design. The majestic Axis H1600XXL wood fireplace from the Sculpt Fireplace Collection graces the central living pod, where family gatherings unfold amidst the allure of crackling flames. Constructed in consideration of the region's bushfire risks, materials like rammed limestone, granite, and bluestone rock ensure durability, while rammed earth and stone walls punctuate the interiors with elegance. With its layout defined by three pods capturing the northern light, "Libby's Retreat" embraces multi-generational living. The main bedroom suite boasts a generous ensuite framed by retractable glass doors, creating a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor realms. A separate wing caters to younger family members, offering independence and comfort. At the core of the residence, the central living pod, complete with a magnificent wood fireplace, fosters a space for togetherness. This masterpiece extends beyond its walls; it's a tribute to Libby's legacy, a testament to her vision, and a sanctuary where family bonds are kindled and cherished.
