Discover a unique lifestyle property that blends privacy, potential, and prime location. Set at the end of a quiet country lane, yet just minutes from the upcoming Drury Town Centre and motorway access, this beautifully renovated home offers a rare mix of tranquility and opportunity.

What makes this property truly special is the 1 hectare of mostly flat, usable land - ideal for those seeking space to build a large shed, parking work vehicles, a business venture, explore horticultural opportunities or perhaps the addition of a swimming pool (subject to council approval). Make immediate use of the detached double garage and a substantial 25x8-meter covered storage space, while the favourable land contour, combined with access to the community bore water scheme, adds practicality and possibility to the lifestyle appeal.

The property also boasts a large home featuring stunning Fijian Kauri timber interior creating a stylish yet welcoming sanctuary. Surrounded by mature trees, gardens and tranquil views across the picturesque lake.

At the heart of the home is a designer kitchen complete with stone tops, quality appliances and breakfast bar, flowing effortlessly into the family room with a cozy wood burner. Designed with both comfort and connection in mind, the home offers separate living and family areas, each showcasing stunning views across the landscaped grounds and out to the serene lake beyond. The open-plan dining area connects to a second lounge that opens onto a spacious patio, ideal for summer barbecues and enjoying the tranquil garden setting. Further features include a dedicated office set up as a work-from-home option, a separate laundry, and four generous sized bedrooms, with the master suite offering a private haven with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and stunning lake outlook.

Located in the sought after suburb of Karaka with excellent schooling options on your door step and nearby Drury, set to evolve into a thriving satellite city over the next 30 years just minutes' drive away. This is a prime opportunity to secure a lifestyle property in a high-growth area while benefiting from countryside calm and future convenience.
