A series of indoor and outdoor living spaces are adorned with unique character. The lounge features an open fireplace, wood heater and a beautiful vaulted, timber-lined ceiling.

The meals area steps outside to the large gazebo where the pizza oven and barbeque will become family favourites. The backyard also enjoys mountain vistas, a veggie patch and ample room for children and pets.
