The Retreat

This architecturally designed holiday home is nestled in a tranquil rural setting, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

Perched on a ridge in the valley, it boasts some of the most spectacular vistas in Gloucester. With the pristine Barrington River flowing through the property, you'll enjoy direct access to the riverbank, perfect for picnics, scenic walks, and refreshing swims. Situated in dark sky country, the night sky comes alive with the stunning wonder and beauty of the Milky Way - your ultimate escape awaits. The property boasts a thoughtfully designed layout with open spaces and expansive windows that perfectly frame the stunning scenery.

It seamlessly integrates modern clean lines with rustic charm, using natural materials to harmonise with its surroundings. A spacious patio, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven, offers an ideal spot to unwind and take in the panoramic views. Inside, the high ceilings, abundant natural light, and cozy accents create a warm yet airy and inviting atmosphere. Barrington River Farm is a working farm, home to a rare herd of Red Devon cattle.

The house reflects the property's biodynamic principles, designed and built with sustainability as a priority. Completely off-grid, it features robust backup systems for reliability. Positioned at the property's highest point and north-facing, the house is strategically designed for optimal solar efficiency, blending eco-conscious living with its natural surroundings.
