If you have live-in parents/grandparents, older children or simply want the complete luxury that extended facilities provide this is the perfect solution. Similarly, it would suit a tenants-in-common purchase with a friend/partner; both of you could buy the property, but maintain complete lifestyle freedoms.

Alternatively, with the accepted approvals and basic service separations one section of the property could be leased out creating an income stream.

Naturally, the massive 1,411m2 block would make's the home an ideal extension candidate, or the perfect platform for a new home.

The superbly established gardens are a pure delight visually and meaningfully. Two magnificent Norway Spruce crown the rear yard's appeal as a place to play with the kids and chill-out. As the bulk of the garden plantings are around the perimeter, any additions to the home or the inclusion of a swimming pool wouldn't interfere with the essential outdoor feel.

There's a double garage under the home with an integrated workshop area and cellaring. Whether is for wine buffs or household storage space like this is always a welcome attribute.

Essentially, this is a marvellous property with a marvellous dynamic and an equally marvellous location.

Who said you can't have that cake and eat it too?
