I thought we could build our dream holiday home. My husband loves golf and i love cold weather, fires and red wine, so when we went on a weekend away to the Hunter Valley back in our dating days, we knew we had found our dream destination for a weekender. We purchased a beautiful golf front block of land with views over a lake and the third green, and set about designing a WOW holiday home. However in all my excitement i forgot that what i may want does not always agree with what "The Commitee'' deems within their guidelines.
Let me back track and give you some info: The Vintage is a small developement of homes nestled in the Hunter Valley in the NSW wine region. The developement is based around a golf course designed by Greg Norman and is known for its strict building guidelines.
Today i received a call from the commitee and to cut a log story short, our plans which were submitted over a month ago have been rejected. Our home is too big, too high and has too many long walls? (interested to see how they will react to John Abrahims plans-he has purchased a block in the same street as ours and i cant see him building a small house!) so back to the drawing board and tonight i will be sitting here trying to reconfigure our original plans and watch the World Cup Soccer with my Husband and act like im very interested!
