Have you been dreaming of escaping the city and reclaiming your time, health, and sanity? If yes, then come and see this beautiful country cottage home, which combines modern comfort with rural charm.

Imagine it’s already yours. When you arrive, you’ll first want to explore the outdoors, where you’ll quickly find multiple established raised garden beds ready for spring planting and a mini orchard with plum and feijoa trees. Your fully fenced orchard doubles as a chicken run and is attached to the chicken coop and garden shed. You’ll also notice the backyard has high gates on both sides of the house (one wide enough to back your trailer through), keeping your kids and pets, even the prized pet lamb, safely in, and everything else out.

Don’t forget your tape measure - you’ll want to check how much of your hobby gear fits into the 3m x 3m storage shed (a lot), and whether your boat and caravan can tuck under the large double-bay pole shed carport (they can). And if that’s still not enough, you’ll be pleased to discover the backyard also has room for a garage, sleepout, or tunnel house - you decide.

After a day of gardening and hobbies, you’ll love stepping into a high-pressure shower and drying off with a warm towel from the heated towel rail, then relaxing in whichever sunny room you choose. You’ll appreciate the double-glazed aluminium windows, insulation in the walls, ceiling, and underfloor, combined with a Panasonic heat pump, air conditioner, and dehumidifier - keeping your home always at the temperature and humidity most comfortable for you. Next, you can enjoy preparing a home-cooked meal in the beautiful, sunny, and spacious kitchen, complete with a splashback window, downdraft induction cooktop, wall oven, and plenty of bench and cupboard space.

When it comes to dining, the choice is yours, indoors or outdoors. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area flows seamlessly through glass stacker doors to an oversized deck, featuring built-in bench seats and more raised garden beds where you can pick fresh ingredients straight from the garden to your plate. While you dine and enjoy uninterrupted rural views, you can start thinking about whether to use the fourth bedroom (the one with the barn door) as a guest room or home theatre, and whether the oversized storage room should stay as a home office or be converted into a second bathroom.

The possibilities are endless—and yes, this home can be yours. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a quiet, laid-back rural lifestyle, where you can simply move in, enjoy life away from the hustle and bustle, and focus on what matters most.
