A spacious modern kitchen with a large stone island bench and an adjoining scullery/laundry provides contemporary functionality and flows through to the dining/conservatory area with stunning views reaching all the way to the Skytower. The lounge with woodburner opens seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining area, tiled and positioned to soak in the northern sun and spectacular views.

Step down to an outdoor fireplace and lawn, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. The heated pool, reminiscent of a Balinese retreat, features deep green tiling, a gazebo, and lush tropical plantings. Across the lawn a viewing platform cantilevers outwards, the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine at sunset.

The ground-level bedroom wing includes two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a fully tiled family bathroom, and a separate WC. A stairway leads up to a sun-drenched studio or fifth bedroom / guest room, complete with a private balcony, ideal for an artist’s retreat or quiet escape.

At the far end of the home, the master suite is positioned for privacy, featuring a dressing room, spacious ensuite, and doors opening to the deck and gardens - a serene space to wake up to the sounds of nature. The landscape is an experience in itself - raised vege gardens, mature plantings, paddocks, and walkways surrounded by native bush and waterfalls.

Adjacent to the main house is a self contained two-bedroom accommodation, perfect for extended family, or guest accommodation. This property is exceptionally versatile, with its two separate titles offering an array of possibilities. Whether you build on the vacant site, sell it as an investment, or simply hold it for future gains, this is a rare opportunity to maximise the value of your purchase.

This exceptional lifestyle property is more than just a home—it’s a private sanctuary, an entertainer’s dream, and an investment in your future. The dual-title flexibility, stunning setting, and income potential make it an opportunity rarely found in this sought-after area.
