Lush open green lawn areas framed by drystone walls and native garden beds surround this welcoming home. The wrap around veranda draped in a stunning ornamental grape vine, provides shelter from the elements and opportunity to enjoy views throughout the day with beautiful Australiana outlooks in every direction.

Through the north facing sunroom/reading room you will enter into the light-filled lounge, dining and kitchen space. The mudbrick build's rustic charm is enhanced by natural finishes within; take note of the exposed hardwood lintels and architraves, the redgum kitchen benchtop and the beautiful Castlemaine slate floors. There is a tranquil feel inside, evoked by large windows throughout that picture frame the spectacular surrounds.

At the heart of the home, the gourmet shaker style kitchen provides a wonderful space for entertaining and collaborative meal preparation. A butler's pantry, abundant storage, Miele dishwasher and stove and large island bench with storage on both sides are excellent features. The adjoining dining area incorporates a bay window with seating and there is a cosy woodfire in the lounge area, inviting both you and your guests to slow down and relish in your country haven. A reverse cycle split system as well as the excellent thermal properties of mudbrick will ensure your comfort throughout the seasons.

Wake up in any of the three bedrooms to stunning native vistas. The large master suite with pine lined ceiling features barn style wardrobe doors, the second has BIR and the third, showcasing a floor to ceiling built in timber bookcase, would also be ideal as a home office. A central timber lined bathroom, providing the luxury of heated floors and towel rail, features a bath with garden views and stepless shower. A separate toilet and large laundry with floor to ceiling cabinetry and bench space, mirroring the kitchen in style, completes the floorplan.

Outside, enjoy dining and entertaining on the large elevated deck space while admiring the native birdlife perching on the balustrades; kookaburras, fairywrens and cockatoos among the regular visitors. 'Tamworth Cabin', complete with bathroom, open plan bedroom/living area and front veranda, overlooks one of the two dams. A double car port and double garage provide for the safe storage of vehicles, caravans and machinery and offer a workshop space. Ample tank water is available on the property.
