This large beautifully appointed home is set upon what can only be described are the ultimate lifestyle block for the family or retired farmer. A mixture of flat grazing paddocks with good batten fences, a loading race for a few sheep or even a pony. The house looks towards the wonderful native bush where a track will take you down to the stunning stream, with eels and Kiwi habitat

Built in 2016, this immaculately appointed double glazed home is ideal for the extended family or perhaps to run a B&B. The east wing comprises the master, including ensuite and walk in wardrobe, with access to a private deck overlooking the pool Dividing the two wings is the large open plan kitchen, with luxury appliances, butler’s pantry, large moveable Island, facing out to the lounge and dining area. Heated by the wood-burner and all open to the large under cover deck area overlooking the pool. A media room to one side that can be closed off for those footy matches

The rest of the accommodation includes three further double bedrooms, two with ensuite, plus one single and a second lounge or rumpus, also with its own wood-burner. A fourth full family bathroom, separate laundry and double garage complete the west wing Built to entertain, there are no less than five decks to choose from, the pool to cool off in the coming summer months or to keep the kids occupied. The 13 solar panels will also keep those power bills in check

With beautiful soils, there is a variety of produce, including bananas, avocados and a variety of fruit trees, or veges from the raised garden beds to keep the larder stocked all year round. That combined with the livestock option; there is a real sense of self sufficiency to be found
