Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND Nina Schubert said, "The house was designed and built by Austrian born artist Anton Holzner in the early 1970s with the stand-alone artist’s studio and gallery completed in 1990."

"Wolkenstein, which means ‘cloud stone’ is a majestic home, gallery and studio set on 2.4 hectares of bushland, high above the Mangalore valley, offering commanding views and privacy.”

"The house was designed and built by Austrian born artist Anton Holzner in the early 1970s.  The stand-alone artist’s studio and gallery was completed in 1990."

Approaching the property, the meticulously cultivated garden, adorned with a variety of native flora, guides you to the imposing entrance wrapped with Boston Ivy.

The grandeur unfolds with a 11.5-metre ceiling height, where solid timber beams and doors with custom-designed and forged bronze handles, set the tone for what awaits within.

A flexible library space offers the potential to become a third bedroom with bi-fold doors to create privacy if required.

Double French doors open onto a north-facing deck, capturing the essence of the breathtaking surroundings.

This level also hosts a bathroom, laundry, and a generous storage mezzanine.

There is an additional lounge on the upper level, a sanctuary within a sanctuary, introducing the possibility of a parent's retreat / additional bedroom.

Across the passage, the main bedroom is a spacious retreat which could be converted into 2 bedrooms.

A private deck offers an intimate retreat.

The luxurious main bathroom boasts granite floor tiles, a free-standing bath, custom-built concrete basin, and an exquisite skylight which bathes the space in natural light.

Access to the western deck completes this oasis of relaxation.

Additional to the main residence is a studio featuring 12.5m high ceilings with rendered concrete block downstairs and red cedar upstairs.

The downstairs gallery serves as a blank canvas for creative expression, while the upstairs work studio, with a custom-designed easel light and built-in drying/storage racks, beckons artists to bring their visions to life.

With a separate electricity meter this studio space offers much versatility and opportunity for its next custodians - with its own bathroom, there is the possibility to lease it out, conduct workshops, or envision it as additional living space or guest quarters.

Outside, the garden, a blend of the original European conifers and Australian natives, also hosts an enclosed orchard and vegetable garden.

A pine forest on the northern edge of the property complements the landscape while mature blue gums, the oldest dating back over four hundred years, stand as guardians along the driveway.

"The current owners have been in residence since 2002 and have made significant enhancements to the house, gardens and infrastructure, resulting in a contemporary home that respects the original architecture while bringing luxury and comfortable living."
