Set well back from the road, this property offers families the rare chance to live with space, privacy, and nature as part of everyday life. Just over ten hectares of mixed bush and grazing land surround the home, creating a peaceful, safe environment where kids can roam, animals can graze, and the sounds of birds replace traffic and noise.
The land has been carefully nurtured over time and now feels established and purposeful. Extensive native planting has shaped sheltered areas and walking tracks, while a thriving orchard adds a productive, hands-on element that families will love. There is room here for gardens, play areas, pets, ponies, and the kind of outdoor freedom that’s increasingly hard to find.
At the centre of the property is a distinctive and welcoming family homestead. Built to last and designed to be lived in, the home combines natural materials with generous proportions to create spaces that feel both solid and comfortable. Exposed brick, timber features, and soft natural light give the house warmth and character, while the approximately 460sqm floor area allows family life to unfold without feeling crowded.
The entrance opens into a large foyer that immediately sets a relaxed tone. From here, the living spaces flow easily around a central kitchen that truly functions as the heart of the home. Designed for everyday family use, it features solid timber benchtops, walk-in pantry, wood-burning range, and casual seating for homework, morning coffees, and shared meals. The adjoining dining area and multiple living rooms give families the flexibility to spread out, movie nights, quiet reading, entertaining friends, or simply finding a moment of calm. Heating is well catered for, ensuring comfort through every season.
Accommodation has been thoughtfully planned with family living in mind. The main bedroom is privately positioned, offering parents their own retreat with an ensuite and elevated outlook. Two further upstairs bedrooms are generous in size and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, ideal for children or teenagers. The fourth bedroom downstairs, complete with its own lounge and bathroom, is perfect for extended family, older children, or guests who need a little independence. Additional bathroom facilities and a separate laundry support the practical demands of a busy household.
Outdoor living is just as important here. A long, covered verandah provides a safe, sheltered space for kids to play, families to gather, and meals to spill outdoors regardless of the weather. It’s a space that naturally becomes part of daily life.
Beyond the home, the property continues to deliver for family living. There’s solar power in place (savings on power bills), ample garaging, stock facilities, bush walks, open paddocks, a freshwater pond, streamside camping spots, and two small cabins that invite imagination — forts, sleepouts, or creative spaces. It’s a landscape that encourages adventure, responsibility, and connection to the outdoors.
This is a property designed for families who want more than just a house. It’s a place to grow, explore, and put down roots where children can enjoy freedom, parents can breathe easier, and home truly feels like a long-term sanctuary.
