To be sold by Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 2pm, Tue 19 May 2026

After five wonderful years, our vendors' circumstances have changed, creating an exciting opportunity for someone new to embrace the lifestyle this charming rural property has to offer.

Set on a manageable 1.4 hectares (approx.), this property strikes the perfect balance, large enough to live the good life, yet easy enough to maintain. Whether you're dreaming of space for animals, homegrown produce, or simply room to breathe, it's all here waiting for you.

The home, approximately 190sqm and built in 1995 from permanent low-maintenance materials, is designed for comfortable family living. Step through the entranceway into a spacious, sun-filled living room that captures views over the expansive lawn and flows seamlessly out to the patio, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Adjacent to this is the open-plan dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is well-appointed with a breakfast bar, ample storage, and plenty of space to cook and connect with family and guests. Warmth and comfort are ensured year-round with a log burner in the living area, a heat pump in the dining space, and an HRV system servicing the rest of the home.

Accommodation is generous, with four well-sized bedrooms. The master suite offers a walk-in robe, ensuite, and direct outdoor access. A separate laundry adds everyday practicality, and the home is further enhanced by a recently installed in-house chlorine filtration system.

Adding versatility, the double garage has been converted into additional living space, complete with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom (note: this conversion is unconsented), offering potential for extended family or guests.

Step outside and the lifestyle truly unfolds. Beyond the sweeping lawns, you'll find a thriving orchard with a variety of fruit trees, a tunnel house, and raised vegetable gardens, perfect for those wanting to grow their own produce.

The outbuildings are equally impressive, including a chook house, a four-bay shed with an attached hay barn, and a separate workshop shed. Six fenced paddocks provide ample space for a range of animals, making this an ideal small-scale lifestyle setup.
