Private and Secluded Oasis With District Views

With immediate access to the Fryers Regional Park and the Coliban aqueduct, the location is second to none for nature lovers and those seeking a relaxing getaway or a permanent home. The 2.57 hectares (6.35 acres) of undulating land is divided into 2 paddocks with the boundaries either side defined by cypress trees for screening and windbreaks. As you enter this discreetly tucked away property, the winding driveway forks either side of the picturesque dam to reveal a home that is perfectly placed to capture the views to the east and enjoy the morning sunrise. The home’s aesthetic is modern rustic lodge, making you feel instantly at ease and in harmony with the surrounds. <br/><br/>Comprising 2 very spacious living areas that are connected via the main entry/mud room and adjacent dining/study area, this flexible floorplan allows for intimate family gatherings or entertaining on a grand scale inside and out with a raised firepit area hosting many a family bbq.
