Perched on top of a ridge with picturesque 360-degree views surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens sits the wonderful rammed earth homestead, so warm and welcoming, incredibly peaceful with not a sound apart from the chorus of native wildlife.
It is a spacious design with 4 very large bedrooms and a cosy study, the main living area with recently renovated kitchen is a beautiful open plan with the wood fireplace at the heart.
Beautiful brushbox timber floors and classic Westminster carpet in the bedrooms gives you a feeling of a rich country homestead and the wrap around verandahs opening onto a large outdoor entertaining area complete this picture. You will spend your days gazing out at the stunning views from every room in the house and the North facing deck.
