Outdoors, the landscaped grounds invite self-sufficient living with a flourishing herb garden, citrus trees, figs, passionfruit, lavender, two 25,000L water tanks, a wood and garden shed, motorhome parking, and a chicken coop for your morning eggs.

Adding even more appeal, the property includes a full second dwelling with two bedrooms, a large bathroom, a generous deck with elevated views, and wheelchair access, perfect for extended family or income potential. A separate 15sqm sleepout, with space for an outdoor bath and basin, completes the offering, creating a private retreat, creative studio, or guest haven.

Stylish, functional, and serene, this is a rare opportunity to secure a contemporary rural lifestyle without compromise.
