The residence features a substantial four-bedroom character home that balances everyday functionality with versatile entertaining options. A private ensuite in the master suite enhances convenience, complemented by additional bathrooms including a powder room adjacent to the fourth bedroom—ideal for guests or extended family. Adjacent to the main dwelling is a fully self-contained one-bedroom unit providing flexible accommodation for guests or potential rental income.

Central to the home is a newly renovated, high-end kitchen seamlessly linked to open-plan dining and living areas, cultivating a natural flow for social gatherings. The formal lounge, with its cozy fireplace, acts as a peaceful refuge, while a standout feature is the expansive rumpus and theatre room. Equipped with a projector, a 120-inch screen, and an integrated bar with a commercial-grade fridge, this space caters perfectly to home entertainment enthusiasts.

Beyond the interior spaces, year-round entertaining is facilitated by an enormous undercover 'Sports Bar', complete with a wood-fired pizza oven and furnished with bar tables and stools for casual socializing. Several additional undercover zones further emphasize the property's capacity to host gatherings of various sizes.

The infrastructural provisions include extensive shedding and storage, suited for tradespeople, hobbyists, or car enthusiasts. A substantial concrete driveway affords easy circulation throughout and links the home with multiple sheds and outdoor areas. Sustainability is a key aspect here, with 21 solar panels paired with a 16kW battery storage system, supported by comprehensive water storage and filtration capabilities including a 100,000-litre water storage with diversion to a dam.

The grounds are thoughtfully arranged to support a rural lifestyle, with established gardens, fruit trees, a vegetable patch, horse arenas, yards, and well-fenced paddocks, all adding to the property’s versatility and appeal.
