Built in 1995 with a sense of permanence, the home leans into classic proportions, while a wraparound verandah connects every room back to the landscape - an effortless transition between indoors and out.

Beyond, the land opens into seven paddocks with a loading bay, complemented by established fruit trees, a vegetable garden, aviary, and chicken pens - delivering a lifestyle that can be as hands-on or as effortless as you choose.
