Set on approximately 12.7 acres (about 51,341 square meters) with north-facing views across the valley to Wooragee, this peaceful lifestyle property offers a unique blend of architectural design and natural beauty. The home was thoughtfully designed by an architect to maximize solar passive efficiency, taking advantage of its northerly aspect and framed by a deciduous vine that enhances the light-filled ambiance.

The residence features four generously sized carpeted bedrooms, each providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape or gardens, creating a serene and comfortable living environment. The split-level layout begins with a welcoming entry that flows seamlessly into an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Floor-to-ceiling windows in this space provide breathtaking views and an abundance of natural light.

The spacious living area is designed for year-round comfort, equipped with a split system air conditioner and a freestanding wood heater with a powerful fan to ensure efficient heat distribution throughout the home. At the heart of the house, the large country-style kitchen combines warmth and practicality, featuring gas cooking, a dishwasher, and a traditional wood-fired stove that adds character and functionality.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area offers superb views to the east and north, with easy access to the kitchen for convenience. A lower-level second living area is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a cozy space enhanced by a Jetmaster open fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance during the colder months.

The large master suite boasts stunning eastern views and includes a walk-in robe, ensuite bathroom, and direct access to the deck. A ceiling duct provides warmth from the living area during cooler months, enhancing comfort. A separate wing on the upper level houses two additional bedrooms with built-in robes, a large bathroom with a bath, separate shower, and vanity, and a separate toilet. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a home office, offering flexibility for various lifestyle needs.

The home also features a beautifully updated oversized laundry with quality locally crafted cabinetry and excellent storage, adding to the property's functionality. Additional amenities include solar hot water, a 2.0kW solar system, roof insulation for energy efficiency throughout the year, and a large carport with internal access for added convenience.

Outside, the property is exceptionally well equipped for those seeking a self-sufficient country lifestyle. It includes rabbit-proof fencing, approximately 100,000 litres of water storage, a spring-fed dam, and private creek frontage with a secluded picnic and camping area surrounded by nature. The established gardens feature a diverse array of fruit trees such as pomegranate, pear, apple, plum, cherry, quince, apricot, nashi, mulberry, and various citrus trees. A vegetable garden benefits from fertilization with castings from a large purpose-built worm farm. The property currently supports two alpacas grazing the land.

Woodlots with trees over 35 years old enhance the natural beauty and privacy of the property. Surrounded by native bushland, it is a haven for nature enthusiasts, with abundant wildlife including koalas, swamp wallabies, echidnas, antechinus, and a wide variety of native birdlife.
