The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with the second being brand new, modern open plan kitchen, formal dining room with polished timber flooring, and a magnificent sun-filled north facing sunroom. To accompany this is a fantastic new hardwood timber covered deck. There is also an attached double carport allowing all weather access to the home. Heating is well supplied with a combustion wood fire with ducted heat transfer system, and reverse cycle a/c, plus Nobo convection heating in a number of the other rooms.

This well established and beautifully planned and maintained garden also features a number of sheltered seating areas including a gazebo, as well as a tennis court. Ample garden water is guaranteed with supply from both an equipped bore charged at 400g/hr and a large storage dam. These both operate under a pressure pump and may be switched between either supply. Adjacent to the garden area is a horse complex comprising four stalls along with separate saddle and feed rooms (both with cement floors). There is also a large chook house with water and vermin proof fencing for the run.
