Overview

This distinguished rural retreat offers a serene lifestyle with extensive privacy and space, perfectly balancing tranquility with proximity to town amenities. Set on approximately 1.91 hectares (4.71 acres) of land adjacent to the protected Todd River Reserve, the property boasts direct frontage to Ross Highway, offering both an elevated outlook and accessible location.

The residence is an architecturally designed, two-story home thoughtfully expanded and renovated in 2008, featuring a lofty ambiance highlighted by soaring ceilings and abundant natural light. The lower level centers around a generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area optimized for family living and entertaining.

Features include six bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing ample accommodation flexibility for families or guests.
The ground-floor main bedroom affords a private sanctuary with an ensuite, walk-in robe, timber floors, and a distinctive corner spa bath positioned to enjoy garden views.
A secondary family room and a study nook add to the functional and versatile living spaces.

The upper floor includes additional bedrooms, a third bathroom, a playroom, and a deck that offers expansive views over the landscaped grounds and the freeform inground pool below, making it an inviting space for relaxation or outdoor gatherings.

Supporting a rural lifestyle, the property is enhanced by an independent, fully self-contained caretaker's residence, ideal for guests or extended family. Practical outbuildings include a sizable 84 square meter powered shed, a dedicated office with vinyl plank flooring and kitchen amenities, plus multiple carports including two high-gable double carports and an additional single carport.

Legacy features such as a large shade-cloth canopied area hint at former Garden Nursery uses, imparting character and further potential for hobbyists or small business operations. The estate is securely fenced and equipped with modern comforts including solar panels, pool, spa, dishwasher, and ample built-in storage.

This property is uniquely suited for those seeking a private rural escape that accommodates family life, hobbies, or professional pursuits while maintaining convenient access to Alice Springs.
