This spacious one acre retreat has been built to please anyone looking for a place to be as active or relaxed as the mood dictates.

Only five minutes from the centre of town, the property leaves the city behind and lets the country air in, all with fantastic views over unspoilt country and sea.

With a boat ramp across the road, straight out into a bay where the day’s quota is just waiting for you, where could it be better?

The expansive brick veneer three bedroom home is surrounded by well laid out grounds having a variety of garden nooks and entertainment areas.

With 73,000 litres of rainwater storage, plumbed to the house and garden and ample shaded areas, including dedicated shadehouses, it would be any gardener’s delight.

Not forgetting the handyman or toy collector, the property also has a 40 x 28 foot four bay garage which includes a full length pit, two storage lofts and workbenches for the mechanically minded.

The home itself has a variety of heating and cooling options with inbuilt gas heating in the lounge, as well as split cycle and reverse cycle air conditioning covering the large open plan family room, dining room and lounge.

Strategically placed doors mean that areas of the house can be closed off as needed to help conserve energy. The home has Solar HWS fitted.

The large dual-access bathroom leads from the ample main bedroom past a separate WC to the other bedrooms. The second and third bedrooms are of a handy proportion, with all three bedrooms having built-in robes, and ceiling fans in all but the third.

The good-sized kitchen has plenty of bench and storage space, as well as a large walk-in pantry to keep all the gems from the garden.

While the convenient laundry has its own door leading to the rotary hoist, the main rear entry to the home is from a very comfortable entertaining area, which has pull down blinds, also to conserve energy, and is just the spot to relax the mornings and evenings away, listening to the great variety of native bird life. Next to this is a carport, also under the main roof.

Between the rear of the home and the garage, are several sections including a chook yard, fruit tree region, and the huge vegetable patch.

There is a dedicated shadehouse for mature plants, another for propagation, and a feature ornamental garden including lawn.

The rotary hoist has its own yard, which includes a serenity area.

As well as all this, there is still room left to store trailers or boats and caravans adjacent to the garage which lies at the end of the long driveway.

The current owners have carefully selected many varieties of native trees and plants to take full advantage of the climate, and the result has to be seen to be believed.

The whole property is low maintenance and spacious, with great views over Proper Bay and the Lincoln National Park.

So, if you are looking for room to move, work or play, this property stands ready to serve the need of any discerning buyer.
