	From Netherwood's secluded setting amongst the tea trees, you look out across the beach and Westernport Bay to the north. The vista is free of roof tops and other houses. Towards the east you can pick out Flinders and even Seal Rocks further east. The house is fresh and contemporary in design, completed in December 2008. It can easily accommodate two large families or a group of 10, or more if booking the separate Studio in addition to the House. Step out the front door and you are 30 metres from the boardwalk to beautiful Red Rocks beach. This long sweeping, golden beach is usually crystal clear, wonderful for swimming at all tides and never crowded. Hop in the car and you can be in the main street of Cowes in 5 minutes.

Property Description:
At the end of a gravel road that winds around the cliff-top, this architect designed house is sited in a small enclave of homes nestled amongst trees. The trees that surround the house further enhance the sense of seclusion. The ground floor rooms look out to the shady understory, while the principal rooms of the second storey capture wonderful northerly views of the bay over the tree tops. The most sweeping view is from the large open plan living/dining room with two walls of floor to ceiling glass, opening onto two separate decks, one square, the other angled. The latter is set up with outdoor dining furniture and a barbecue facility outside the stylish Euro kitchen.

The master bedroom, also on the top floor has its own private balcony, and the luxury of a view of the bay from the bed. The well appointed master ensuite has a bath with a serene view of the tea tree canopy.

The ground floor has a lounge room, two bedrooms, bathroom, laundry, separate toilet.

The home is furnished with the essentials and the decor is neutral and uncluttered.

Studio
A separate, self-contained suite, with its own entry, is located above the carport. The huge room has sliding glass doors onto a private balcony which separates the studio from the house. Across the balcony is a secure door leading to the upper floor of the house. With a king size bed, ensuite and kitchenette, the suite provides a quiet refuge for a couple. Note: the Studio is only available for bookings in conjunction with the House.

Special Features:
Red Rocks Beach is a short walk from the house. This long, golden beach is divided in two by lichen covered rocks turned rusty red in colour. To the right is the shallower beach, ideal for small children. On the left is a long deep water beach with excellent swimming regardless of the tide.
