The residence then opens up and links to the fully integrated, fully enclosed conservatory. Once again light and bright – spacious enough to seat 60 people. Notably this is not commercially advertised, rather occasionally used privately for attendees of the current Vendors business, for seminars. There have also been weddings held here on a private basis.

The conservatory once again offers stunning views over water on the neighbours dam. A fully functional kitchen with plenty of cupboards, Miele dishwasher, double sink, plus a deep catering style sink and Chef style Westinghouse oven and hot plates.

The high pittosporum hedge embraces the southern perimeter of the garden, situated just below the long garden arbor. Bignonia also found along the verandah Star Jasmine adorns the Arbor.

The northern garden and grounds overlook the large entertainment deck and billabong, complete/ with a five-tier cascading fountain. Further around the Angel garden offers more garden embellishments and fruit trees. Further up on the land approximately 60 chestnut trees and 6 cherry trees.

Water supply for the property is abundant with the spring water quality bore and incredibly the depth intercepting 5 underground streams. The water is so ‘good’ at only 400 ppm (total salts) the current owners top up their rainwater tank from time to time. The grounds are fully automated and pumped direct from the bore pump providing an output of approximately 3,000 gph with integrated watering systems. Another tangible positive being the 11,950kL Water Licence – Underground Taking No 222926-00. Shedding is neatly hidden away from the garden and comprises three shedding units for cars and storage, all interlinked.

A wonderful harmonious blend of garden and grounds and some natural vegetation, the land of which also allows for the keeping of cattle and family horse pursuits (years ago was an Angora goat stud). Cattle have been on the property and for many years there were also horses.

Your senses will be awakened as you progress along the majestic Oak lined driveway. Your positive anticipation is immediately rewarded when you come into view of the garden and grounds. An immediate blend of harmony and the equally compelling appeal of the stone return verandah residence. The combined energy compels you to conclude that you have finally found your true sense of belonging. The pure joy and inner tranquility will be ever present.
