Enjoying a peaceful position in one of the most sought-after streets in the area, this charming lowset home is tucked away behind lush flowering shrubs and natives, ensuring privacy from the road. With ample living areas including a sprawling rumpus room, the residence is immediately warm and welcoming (even more so once the wood-burning fireplace is ablaze) however the keen gardener is sure to first make a beeline for the astonishing botanical wonderland beyond.

Taking over three decades to create, on just over an acre of land that was once part of a dairy farm, these abundant gardens surround a tranquil springfed lagoon, and lead down to a crystal clear, flowing creek. For the botanist there are many healthy specimens to admire, from towering eucalypts and tree ferns to spider lillies and orchids, and the nature lover will appreciate the native species that have been spotted here; koalas, bandicoots, echidnas, possums, bowerbirds, even a platypus or two! And for those of us who may not be flora or fauna experts, there is quite simply enchantment around every turn - with trickling brooks, quirky garden sculptures and a magical glade or two to discover.
