Encapsulating everything that makes country living great, this exquisitely finished yet soothingly welcoming family abode proves why you just can’t beat a classic.
Through the suburban spread, this home has held firm on its stately position to remain one of the few properties still graced with wide open spaces, a rural style feel and room to rear horses and hobby stock.
Its elegantly appointed full wrap verandas gaze over scenes of lush green paddocks on two sides and lovingly tendered country gardens and fruit trees that provide shelter from the elements and create seclusion for the homestead area.
