Set in beautiful park-like grounds of 1.55ha (more or less) with a tidal river running along the edge, this is a gorgeous retreat.
The elevated house is set back so you can take in the grounds and water view from the large deck. The open plan living area is large. The window seats have the extra width so those over-stayers can stretch out and doze off right where they sit. The kitchen is well set out and has a large servery along with a scullery. There are two large bedrooms, one being used as an office. The separate bathroom, laundry and toilet are located between the two bedrooms.
Stepping down from the deck there's a double garage with a self-contained sleepout - a golden opportunity for a book-a-bach or B&B.
At the edge of the river you have you own private spot to launch the boat, along with a place to set the white bait net. Wish you could have ducks or chooks? You can, that area is ready and waiting for your feathered friends. There's so much outside space you could even fence off an area for some extra pets or freezer meat. A variety of fruit trees will keep you nourished when in season and just along the road is a store, so no need to panic if you run out of those essential supplies.
