Two accommodation wings stretch out from either side of this central living space.
The master wing includes an office and a naturally sunlit bedroom and a walk-in robe. Corner windows reveal garden and rural views and allows this area to be warmed naturally by the winter sun. A split system reverse cycle air conditioner adds extra comfort. The ensuite is also convenient to the living area.

A meandering driveway leads past the vines and paddocks to the home, which is set in peaceful and private surroundings, well away from the road.
