This enchanting park-like setting is framed by an alpine backdrop featuring tall pines and includes two beautiful dams. The property features two expansive homes: the first is a two-storey residence with a Juliet balcony off the main bedroom overlooking delightful gardens and magnificent distant views. Inside, the home showcases elegant timber features and an elevated Coonara wood-fired fireplace. The quintessential country kitchen includes a large casual meals servery area, a Miele dishwasher, and a new Rennai gas hot water system. The rear of the house opens to a courtyard-style undercover area, a perfect retreat for relaxation.

For enthusiasts of gardening or those considering a nursery, the property offers a comprehensive setup with large shedding fitted with concrete flooring and power, two garden sheds, a pump shed, a 22,000-gallon rainwater tank with necessary transfer pumps, and an environmentally approved septic system. There is even a secure five-dog enclosure and a distinctive chicken roundhouse. Additionally, an expansive indoor fernery combined with an office, tack rooms, another Coonara fireplace, and versatile spaces provides an ideal teenager’s retreat or a man cave.

The second residence presents a significant bonus with a spacious master bedroom complete with a luxurious ensuite and spa, built-in storage cupboards, and splendid outlook. The lounge room measures 7.00 meters by 3.2 meters and connects to a family room of approximately 6.8 by 3.7 meters. It also includes a large slate feature wall with a combustion heater and two Daikin air conditioning units to ensure comfort year-round. The kitchen is equipped with a Bosch dishwasher, a new oven, and character-rich lead lighting. The garden at the rear is truly spectacular, set against tall pines, dams, and paddocks. Both homes feature fully enclosed yards providing for privacy and safety.

The land gently undulates and consists of productive sandy loam soils offering excellent drainage. The well-established shelter belts contribute to the property's attractiveness.
