This lifestyle property offers the perfect blend of comfort and practicality, with three bedrooms plus a study/office, a family bathroom, two separate toilets, and a single garage with workshop. The open-plan kitchen and dining area, finished in easy-care tiles, flows seamlessly into the light-filled living spaces. Elevated positioning and generous windows flood the home with sun, while French doors and picture windows frame rural views. Warm timber ceilings and brand-new carpet throughout, enhance the inviting feel, and summer 25 and beyond is set to be enjoyed with the fantastic outdoor living options on offer. A single-bedroom cabin with its own bathroom is also available as an optional chattel.

Beyond the home, the property really shines with its exceptional shedding and improvements. A large farm-style three-bay shed is complemented by a separate two-bay pole shed, giving you versatility for storage, workshop, or farming needs. Cattle and sheep yards further enhance the lifestyle setup, while established fruit trees and garden beds provide a productive and enjoyable environment. The land is well divided into five paddocks, plus one large hay paddock that has consistently produced exceptional bales each year - ideal for those seeking both lifestyle enjoyment and practical farming options.
