Two accommodation wings stretch out from either side of this central living space.
The master wing includes an office and a naturally sunlit bedroom and a walk-in robe. Corner windows reveal garden and rural views and allows this area to be warmed naturally by the winter sun. A split system reverse cycle air conditioner adds extra comfort. The ensuite is also convenient to the living area.
The second wing has two bedrooms with built in cupboards and share the family bathroom and spa bath. A sitting room or fourth bedroom opens to the verandah. This wing has ducted reverse cycle air conditioning. All the bedrooms, office and sitting room are carpeted.

A meandering driveway leads past the vines and paddocks to the home, which is set in peaceful and private surroundings, well away from the road.
