Meander up the well-planted driveway and you already know this place is something a little different. Mature trees frame your arrival, the grounds open around you, and an English-style residence comes into view. It feels like coming home.
Set on 8.4 hectares of mainly mature native bush, this is countryside living steeped in genuine character. The land wraps around you, the bush is established and beautiful, and there's enough open ground for the kids to explore, for a couple of paddocks, for calf club pets, for weddings on the lawn. This family did all of that here, for fifty years.
The home itself is full of personality. Vaulted timber ceilings, exposed brick fireplace, a sunroom that connects the indoors to the deck and the pool beyond. A kitchen that's already been updated. Two bedrooms on the ground floor, two bathrooms, two attic bedrooms with real potential, plus a garage with a spacious loft above, giving you options for guests, a studio, a teenage retreat, or whatever the next chapter calls for. The bones are good and the character is real.
But let's be honest. This is a home that's ready for new hands. It needs a full makeover, and that's exactly the opportunity. Buyers with vision and a willingness to roll up their sleeves will find plenty to work with here. The setting alone is worth the visit.
Fifty years of memories live in these walls. Children growing up. Summers by the pool. The kind of life that only a place like this can hold.
Now it's ready to do it all again, for someone new.
If country living with real character appeals to you, come and have a look.
