Yet wait till you step indoors!

With its high ceilings, wide format Brush Box timber floors, red cedar French doors and windows and gorgeous kitchen, bathrooms and laundry, this sprawling open plan 5-bedroom homestead (2 with ensuites) is not only everything you could wish for in a family home, it’s also sized to never be outgrown as it spans an impressive total of 540m2 under roof, including the verandahs and garage.
