Expect the unexpected. Built in 1955 as workers accommodation for the adjoining Cherry orchards, you won't find anything to compare. With a Federation, Queenslander homestead influence, it's such a pretty home. From the wrap-around decks, choose large scale entertaining or private nooks to settle and immerse yourself in nature, watching seasons come and go. The golden and flame colours of Autumn paint an amazing landscape, with gentle views through ancient native red gums and English planted approaches and surrounding properties.

Love the rural calm? Well you can wrap it right around you as you retreat into a beautiful glazed conservatory with access to the decks but shut off from the activity of the main area, giving a separation often sought but not provided in a modern home. It's big enough for a home office, music room or with minimal furnishing to celebrate the gentle views over paddocks and dry stone stacked walls. A place to contemplate, to kick back or to turn into a very special place - such is the style and symmetry. The dramatic spiral timber staircase ascends to the Loft Retreat - could be a guest/visitor bedroom, art room, or teen zone - such is the flexibility - a very unique room depending on your family needs.

All rooms have French doors to the front or rear decks, catch a breeze, snuggle up, a leisurely breakfast - life should be this tranquil! The 5.25 KW Solar system ensures cost saving and it's off grid for water so the 22,000 gallon rainwater tank supplies the home, shower water from the master ensuite is recycled to the garden and the additional 1000 gallon rainwater tank and bore watering system look after the garden. Garden requirements are minimal. There's a prolific passion fruit vine and a fenced veggie patch, rich, healthy soil which is ready for your plantings - live off the land - for your home cooking.
