The modern, beautifully presented home has been thoughtfully designed for spacious family living, offering a generous floor plan, multiple living zones and all the modern comforts.

At the heart of the home is a beautiful light-filled open plan kitchen, meals and living area with a cosy wood heater-a welcome source of warmth for the winter months. The kitchen is a standout, featuring quality fixtures and fittings, excellent cupboard storage, generous bench space and modern appliances to make cooking and entertaining a breeze. Boasting a walk in pantry, 900mm upright oven and cooktop, dishwasher, and room to spread your culinary wings, the household chef will be delighted with what's on offer here. Additional living spaces are a notable design feature, and include a spacious lounge and a third living area that doubles perfectly as a home office or kids' retreat. The large laundry and extensive internal storage add further practicality for busy family life.

Step outside and take in the stunning outlook across lush, green paddocks. The tranquil outdoor entertaining area is ideal for hosting family and friends, and overlooks a sparkling inground pool-your own private oasis to enjoy in the warmer months. Your nearest neighbours are well out of sight, ensuring absolute peace and privacy.

The land is fenced into a large yard around the house, with scope to be divided into multiple paddocks that would offer excellent potential for horses, livestock, or other hobby farming pursuits. Infrastructure is impressive, with a sizeable 12m x 10m barn-style shed featuring triple roller doors, extra height, power, and a mezzanine level, as well as a separate 9m x 6m caravan/machinery port or hay shed. Adding a touch of rustic charm and history, the original 1880's shearers' shack remains intact in amongst the remnants of the old sheep yards- a slice of history just waiting for your creative ideas to bring them it to life once more. Other features include approx. 175,000 litres of water tank storage, fire pit area, and established gardens and paths around the home.

This rare offering combines modern comfort with rural charm in a truly tranquil location.
