This is the kind of place families wait for, and the kind they rarely get a second chance at.

Held in the same family for many years, this 1915 homestead has the warmth and soul you simply can’t recreate. Set across 2.63 hectares, with around half in established bush, it feels like a private little world where kids can explore, imaginations run wild, and life slows down in all the right ways. With the school bus stopping right at the gate, the practical side of family living is effortlessly covered.

The 179sqm home is generous and genuinely family-friendly. Three large bedrooms, a proper country farm-style kitchen and dining space where everyone naturally gathers, and multiple living areas that allow busy family life to spread out comfortably. There’s a family bathroom with wet-floor showering, plus the bonus of an ensuite. Ceiling and underfloor insulation and the brand new roof and spouting mean the big-ticket work has already been ticked off.

Outside is where the memories are waiting to be made. An established orchard offers apples, lemons, feijoas, nectarines, gooseberries and a lemonade tree, seasonal living at its best. The bush block, natives, pine and eucalyptus trees wrap the property in privacy and adventure, creating space for tree huts, walking tracks and quiet moments. A separate freestanding room adds flexibility for teens, guests, hobbies or working from home.

This isn’t just a lifestyle block. It’s a family property in the truest sense, ready for the next generation to grow into it, love it, and make it their own.
