Relishing a matchless country backdrop that cradles its elegant rural design, 'Willow Wood' is a 5-bedroom plus study masterstroke inviting the art of refined rural living amidst a breath-taking cultivated landscape of 5.3 acres. Just ten minutes from Berry within the foothills of the South Coast hinterland, this captivating estate has been curated to take full advantage of its private position with distinguished attributes and an incomparable finish.

A meandering driveway traverses an indigenous woodland to a wooden bridge over one of Broughton Mill Creek's subsidiaries, revealing a thriving display of ornamental gardens and lush lawns, a significant feature in Berry's Gardens Festival of 2022. Stone retaining walls and a bounty of ornamental flowering plants, a rose garden, hearty shrubs and established trees tame a softly undulating landscape, allowing the sublime home to take centre stage. A thriving citrus grove and small vegetable garden bring country living to your door.

Showcasing the epitome of sophisticated rural grace, the modern residence's farmhouse design evokes a grandeur far beyond expectations, relishing cathedral ceilings with exposed trusses above its far-reaching living, dining and family domain. A double-sided gas fireplace maintains comfort and separation between the living spaces, all served by a gourmet kitchen of the highest order, replete with a 900mm ILVE gas cooker, a Miele dishwasher, a butler's pantry, filtered drinking water and a buffet island curated for lavish entertaining.

Opulent accommodation is zoned into two wings, headlined by the master's suite with built-in robes plus a dressing room, heated-floor bathroom, powder room, and a large study and sewing / craft room. Four additional ensuite bedrooms sit on the opposing end of the home, with each offering alfresco access to the wrap-around verandah.

Here, entertaining takes pride of place, looking out over the landscaped dam and waterlily pond to the mountains beyond, echoing with the song of the local fauna, occasional visits by kangaroos and a resident echidna. A captivating 'cubby house' - a multi-storey structure with a suspension bridge, climbing areas with creek running underneath - headlines a list of amenities, including a bespoke garden shed, a fenced henhouse, and an oversized double garage with a cellar and workshop.
