As you wind through the picturesque Lorne Valley on the sealed tarmac, you arrive at a post and rail gate that states 'Bower Haven,' home to dozens of Bower birds, including the strikingly feathered Regent Bower.
From just inside the gate, you see in the distance a substantial home and outbuildings nestled amongst hills to the east. Driving down a private winding and well formed gravel road, you pass through a sub tropical forest punctuated by paddocks, some north facing and all ideal for any rural pursuit, you gain vistas to the surrounding hillsides, a permanent creek bed which leads to a 10 metre hard rock waterfall. The country opens out to larger paddocks as you approach the residence, at which time you then realise that this is much more of a property than you envisaged, with a significant homestead, ample shedding all of which is surrounded by parklike expanses of lawn, native gardens and shade trees.
The homestead is nestled in a protected north facing position and just exudes quality, starting with the air-conditioned master bedroom includes an ensuite, walk-in robe and parents retreat.
