Luxurious is the key word when describing this residence and the incredibly high-quality and thoughtfully considered design. It is a striking masterpiece, tastefully refined, to evoke a sense of calm and to inspire hospitality. The home has been skilfully crafted to provide spaces for solitude and equally, for sharing.

A home for sharing it is! The country-style home offers five bedrooms including a guest room with a walk-in robe and ensuite. The main bedroom is incredibly spacious, has a dressing room size walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms are also very generously proportioned, two have walk-in robes and one has a built-in robe. A welcoming foyer has a built-in cloakroom, access to a brilliant office; and entry to a very generous formal lounge/theatre room with gas log fire. Stepping beyond the foyer, the home reveals its true grandeur, a huge open-plan living and entertaining space.

The entertaining space features a vast family area with wood heater, dining area and an impeccable kitchen with breakfast bar. The butler's pantry features provision for a plumbed fridge and excellent cabinetry. The high-end tapware to the sink provides for instantly filtered cold water, soda water and boiling water for hot beverages. The butler's pantry forms a clever buffer to zone the open plan area and the separate games/rumpus room with bar. The main bathroom offers a shower, bath and vanity and separate toilet. A powder room is adjacent to the games room and is ideally positioned for guests to use, entering from the expansive outdoor entertaining areas.

Storage throughout this home is nothing short of abundant. In addition to the numerous walk-ins and built-in robes, there is another step-in linen press, and two very large walk-in linen/storage rooms. Living here there will be a place for everything and everything will be readily accessible in its place. There is an integrated zoned music speaker system and a security system. Under the main roofline is a three-car garage with direct entry into the home.

Cleverly positioned windows and doors throughout seamlessly connect you with the outdoor living options, frame views, and draw in natural sunlight, warmth and fresh air flows. There is ducted heating and evaporative cooling. The landscape has been honoured by the design of the home, creating a truly harmonious environment in which to live, work and play. In each room throughout, under the protective cover of the outdoor living areas, or in the beautiful sunlight by the stunning pool, there are so many special moments to experience time and again. Moments and views to experience and to be energised by with the changing landscape that morphs with the seasons.

Self-sufficiency has been key in the design of this property which generates its own power supply from the impressive solar system with battery storage. There is abundant tank water storage and there are two dams. The 20 x 10m shed/workshop has a concrete floor, power, kitchenette and wood heater. There is a wood shed, easy care landscaping and there are raised veggie gardens. In addition to the fully enclosed house yard and adjacent shed area, there are five paddocks.
