Vehicle and storage options are a standout, with a double internal garage featuring built-in storage, a 9m x 7m two-bay farm shed, plus an additional carport — perfect for cars, machinery, projects, or equipment. Fully fenced and well drained, the land is practical and usable for pets, stock, or landscaping ideas.

The second dwelling, built in 2022 by Signature Homes, brings a premium level of comfort and contemporary living. Here you’ll appreciate quality finishes, three bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite and walk-in robe, two lounges, and a cosy wood fire. This dwelling includes the separate laundry with additional wardrobe storage, as well as the ducted heating system, delivering year-round comfort and true modern convenience. Its design flows beautifully outdoors to the fully fenced heated saltwater swimming pool, creating the perfect shared entertaining hub. With approximately seven years remaining on the building warranty, this dwelling gives you peace of mind and long-term security.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the craftsmanship and comfort of the newer home while unlocking rental income or extended-family living from the main dwelling. Two large grazing paddocks expand your lifestyle options, while established gardens and the peaceful rural outlook complete the picture. Privacy, practicality, and versatility — this is a lifestyle package that rarely becomes available with two dwellings of this calibre.
