Within, you are immediately struck by a sense of craftmanship, elegance and harmony, as bespoke joinery and warm oak panelling adorn the walls. Glass sliders and large windows allow you to drink in rolling hills and open fields. Window seats gift the perfect spot to settle in with a book and a glass of wine and there is a nice drift to deep balcony. The balcony is an ideal viewing platform, a scene for both reflection and communion with the extraordinary topography. As the months grow cooler the living space beckons, with its charming open shelving for display and warming fireplace.

Kitted out with luxe appliances from Siemens, with a Qasair Rangehood, the kitchen effortlessly blends form with function. Seamless timber cabinetry extends all the way to the ceiling and marbled benchtops waterfall to the floor. There is a lovely merge via glass sliders to rear deck and garden to capture important natural experiences with family and friends.

A link ushers to the intimate sleeping quarters which houses four bedrooms, a family bathroom with tub and an ensuite bathroom adjoining the master. The bedrooms are softly carpeted in natural wool and capture soothing rural vistas, striking ghost gums. Both bathrooms have underfloor heating and are finished with floor to ceiling ceramic tiling in crisp white.

The home is off grid for both water and septic with 60,000 litre water tanks and aerated wastewater treatment. Double glazing and high impact insulation, combined with air tightness barrier, heighten thermal efficiency. The home's passive solar design, combined with roof top solar array and battery further contribute to significantly less running costs and a decidedly smaller footprint.

The grounds are arranged in an organic, natural style by landscape designer Mathew Woolfe. They include a stunning avenue of silver birches and sweeping lawns that follow the gentle slope of the large block. A mix of natives softens the edges of the building, coalescing with the existing stately eucalypts. It is as if the garden has always been here?there is nothing to do but enjoy, as the plants grow and evolve, changing with the seasons and gifting a dynamic native haven.

It is easy to fall in love with the beauty of the region, the abundant silence and the warm small town vibes. Collector is famous for its historic buildings and the ethereal Dreamer's Gate Sculpture by local artist Tony Phantastes. It is an easy stroll to Some Caf? for home grown food and great coffee and the Bushranger Hotel is just next door, offering pub meals and cold beer. there are lots of other wineries to explore within the region. The town is also handy to Lake George and the walking trails of Oakdale Nature Reserve. It is a 25 min drive to Goulburn and an easy 35 min trip to Canberra.
