Additionally, the current home office can be converted into a fifth bedroom if needed.

For those who enjoy entertaining, the home offers three living areas. These include a formal lounge and dining room with a built-in fireplace, and a large dual-aspect 77 square meter central living area that opens directly onto a north-facing deck with views over the property and distant hills.

The modern country-style kitchen is fully equipped and designed for ample meal preparation and storage, featuring a walk-in pantry, a stainless steel SMEG gas cooktop with electric oven, a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, expansive worktops, storage space, and a plumbed fridge nook.

Beyond the main house, there is a separate studio barn shed with wet area amenities, a loft room, and attached double garage providing additional functional space.

The equestrian facilities are centered around a farm shed that includes three 4x4 meter stable boxes, a tack and feed area, a partially enclosed steel day yard, and a hot/cold wash bay. The shed features a central breezeway for saddling and plaiting horses. The property also includes three stock paddocks and a turn-out paddock with a 4x4 meter day shelter. All paddocks are well fenced with multiple gates for easy stock movement and include stock shade and wind shelter trees.

The 9.39 acre block offers exciting development possibilities such as expanding equestrian infrastructure with an arena and round yard, adding a second dwelling, more sheds, or accommodating sheep and alpacas. The land is level to mildly undulating, mostly cleared with scattered shade eucalypts and established tree lines, divided into five paddocks including the house block.
