Jan Juc Jungalow with heated plunge pool | House in Jan Juc, Australia

Summary:
Set in Jan Juc to a chorus of birdsong and rolling surf lies a home of true artistry, innovative design and craftsmanship. Rising confidently from its place and capturing spectacular bush views from the main living hub, the north orientation invites soul-warming sunshine. Two pavilions sweep around a sheltered central deck with magnesium heated plunge pool and fire pit. This natural beauty features soaring marine ply ceilings, a cosy woodfire, and bathrooms that overlook the bamboo jungalow.
The Space:
Designed for modern eco sustainable living that reflects the adventurous lifestyle of the Surf Coast, this unique residence is characterised by two pavilions with a connecting corridor that offers space for work and recreation. Thoughtful design and a clever layout make the most of its position, ensuring picturesque outlooks from every window. A variety of timber finishes, extensive glazing, striking colour and design come together to embrace indoor-outdoor flow with a private deck at its heart.
Overlooking Jan Juc’s bush landscape, this impressive setting sparks ‘wow’ factor moments at every turn. Admire the scenery from the elevated open plan living area and open the massive sliding doors to the north balcony. Set amongst leafy gardens with towering gums and bamboo groves, multilevel decks link the outdoor dining area and BBQ, with a fire pit to toast marshmallows (BYO firewood) and a heated magnesium plunge pool for the ultimate lifestyle experience. Or keep the plunge pool cool in summer for a refreshing and enjoyable way to beat the heat. (Responsible pool usage instructions supplied on arrival. Pool can be heated to 37', but it doesn't have jets. Therefore, it's not a 'spa'. It is 1.8m deep, 2.5m approx wide, with seating along one edge).
Under high ceilings, the main living area brings everyone together for movie nights (Smart TV - log in with your own Netflix/streaming account details to resume your own viewing history). Indoor plants and a wood-burning fireplace make for beautiful focal points, while in-ceiling heating provides cosy comfort to the living room. The kitchen has an island bench with brekky bar for casual meals or dine at the extendable dining table. Well equipped with an oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and coffee pod machine, you will find this is a home away from home.
Configured to sleep 5 guests, the layout gives everyone space for lively gatherings or chilling out. An ideal work-from-home study space features along the length of the connecting corridor. All 3 bedrooms have abundant natural light and space, panel wall heaters, portable fans, and are beautifully appointed with hotel quality sheets and bath towels. Please BYO beach/pool towels.
The master bedroom with King-size bed is located at the rear of the home, complete with a bamboo-backdrop ensuite that adds luxe tropical ‘jungalow’ vibes to shower time. A private rear deck is the perfect place for parents to retreat with a cuppa, sitting under the shade of a trio of gum trees. Kids and teens will love their bedrooms, with a Single bed, Single bunk bed and library of books and games. The central bathroom is breathtaking and echoes the aesthetic of the ensuite. Imagine bathing beneath a vertical window that invites lush bamboo greenery inside and extends the connection to nature... a sublime experience.
