"Leave the rest of the world behind you"
"Easy access"
As soon as
you start down the driveway here you leave the rest of the world
behind and enter the delightfully private world of 5 coastal acres
rimmed by authentic Australian forest. The driveway offers
ample turning and parking space while the double lock up garage
with remote control doors offers easy all weather access.
The entry hall/foyer is wide and welcoming
with slate tiles throughout the entry, bar area, living, dining
and kitchen. The bar area features a solid timber slab as
the bar top with recessed bar fridge and built-in cupboards while
the large living room (8m x 6m) features high timber ceilings, with
excellent acoustics, slow combustion log burner for those cool winter
nights and direct access through twin glass sliders to the covered
back verandah which enjoys morning sun and afternoon shade.

Living room
The open plan dining area is spacious (7m x 7m) looking
over green grass and dams to the forest and often giving glimpses
of the abundant wildlife while the timber kitchen offers lots and
lots of cupboards and drawers, large double pantry, dishwasher,
electric cook top and stove with separate griller, double fridge
space and more lovely views over the lily covered dam to the forest.
The large study (5m x 3.5m) is an ideal workplace and the laundry
has plenty of room adjacent to the 3rd bathroom and close to the
swimming pool.
Upstairs is carpeted with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
The main bedroom is generous in size (6m x 3.5m) with views over
the front dam, double built-in robe and built-in dressing table/drawers
and adjoining ensuite bathroom offering generous vanity, shower
and dual flush toilet. Bedrooms 2 & 3 (each 4m x 3m) also

(3.5m x 3m) also has a built-in robe with a rural outlook.
The upstairs bathroom that services these bedrooms is a 3 way bathroom
with separate toilet, shower, bath and generous vanity.

Salt water pool
Outside the shed is an amazing asset, with roller
doors on 3 sides set on a concrete slab, with plenty of power and
lights and a sink to clean up in. The fully fenced, in-ground
salt water pool is an absolute boon in summer time with feature
rock walls and minimum maintenance gardens includes a delightfully
fragrant frangipani tree in season and sweet, sweet jasmine as you
enter the pool area, offering peace and privacy all year round.
The dams are ideal for recreation or irrigation and the surrounding
forest is a fitting fringe to this rare property.
