About this property
The Rocky Descent is a newly built, high-end modern farmhouse chalet that redefines luxury in the heart of Crackenback. This designer two-bedroom retreat sprawls gracefully over three levels, ensuring an experience of unparalleled comfort and elegance.
Step into the top-floor living space and be greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings and dramatic exposed timber trusses. At its centre, a double-sided Escea stone gas fireplace adds warmth and ambience to the open-plan layout. A plush Coco Republic sofa and armchair offer the perfect viewing spot for the 65” smart TV with SONOS soundbar, or simply unwind on the daybed and take in panoramic views of the lake and Main Range through expansive picture windows.
For culinary enthusiasts, the designer kitchen is a standout. Outfitted with premium AEG appliances, including dual ovens and an induction cooktop, along with a Miele dishwasher, LG French door fridge, and butler’s sink, it’s built for both everyday ease and special-occasion cooking. A Nespresso Creatista Plus machine brings your mornings to life, while the rustic timber dining table and alfresco deck with Weber BBQ ensure mealtimes are always memorable.
Downstairs, a second living area with heated floors, a King Living L-shaped lounge, and another smart TV provides a cosy retreat, ideal for families or groups wanting separate zones to relax.
The main bedroom is a true haven, with a king-sized bed, built-in wardrobe, and a luxe ensuite featuring heated Italian tiles, double vanity, rainfall shower, and freestanding bathtub. The second bedroom offers two long singles, a built-in wardrobe, and its own sun-soaked balcony with loungers.
A second full bathroom with underfloor heating and rainfall shower adds to the sense of indulgence, while a well-equipped laundry and mudroom with bike racks and ski storage on the ground floor ensures the practicalities are well covered.
Thoughtful extras, remote-controlled blinds, superfast 5G Wi-Fi, ducted air conditioning, and double-glazed windows, enhance the guest experience, while a collection of board games adds a personal touch.
