To part with a paradise is never easy. Over the years, the owners have lovingly sculpted this sanctuary and filled it with memories, but the next chapter calls — and now a rare opportunity awaits the next fortunate custodians.

For those seeking scale, character, and flexibility, this extraordinary lifestyle property delivers in every direction. Spanning three levels and approximately. 380m², the main residence offers five generous double bedrooms plus a dedicated library/study, ideal for working from home or enjoying a quiet retreat. Multiple living zones create effortless family flow, while double glazing, zoned underfloor heating, and a log burner bring warmth and comfort year-round. A double internal-access garage completes the main home.

A standout feature is the 150m² fully self-contained unit, equipped with its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry — perfect for extended family, visiting guests, staff accommodation, or a premium Airbnb setup. A substantial four-bay barn provides exceptional storage for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or a home-based trade.

Set across approx. 1 hectare of beautifully landscaped grounds, you’ll enjoy privacy, tranquillity, and room to live the way you’ve always imagined — garden, entertain, unwind, or simply breathe in the peace and space around you.

The location enhances the lifestyle even further. Just moments from Mandeville Shopping Village, you’re close to cafés, local shopping, and essential services, while renowned schools are within easy reach. Active families will love being near the Mandeville Sports Club and grounds, along with an abundance of walking and cycling tracks that wind through the surrounding community — perfect for morning runs, weekend rides, or leisurely evening strolls.

The owners are ready to move on properties of this calibre, offering versatility, space, and an enviable lifestyle, which seldom come to market. Act quickly to secure something truly special.
