The home’s driveway provides a sneak peak tour of the property’s out buildings and features as you approach the house, including the Ritz of chook pens and spacious fenced paddocks.
Upon entering the home, wood look floors and soft mint walls flow through into the impressive and extensive open plan living area. The high peaks of the cathedral ceilings in the open plan living area provide oomph that helps the space compete with its incredible views over the fields and beyond to the Stirling Ranges.
Bold lighting hangs over the area at intervals creating an attractive focal point.
Floating in the centre of the space between the informal lounge and dining areas, a hearty wood fire creates heat and atmosphere, while reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans provide additional temperature control at the touch of a button.
The kitchen is also monsterous, with a generous walk in pantry, dishwasher, smeg electric oven and gas stove with a stylish stainless steel rangehood and french style glass front overhead cabinets all amongst a beautiful combination of green benches and cream cabinets.
