Most of the acreage looks after itself with only approximately 1500m2 of colourful cottage style gardens around the home needing maintaining, the rest of the land lies within the stunning rainforest which frames the property. There's a raised herb garden, a citrus orchard, and even a boulodrome to play Bocce, all close to the home. The owners built and designed this home to 'lock and leave' as they spent six-months a year abroad; so, the maintenance is minimal, and there is an established irrigation system.

With visible neighbours; tucked well away from the no-through road, with a sealed driveway, there is no traffic noiseit's a veritable sanctuary, a haven of absolute bliss! Original owner occupiers are relocating, creating a RARE opportunity for a new owner to discover the magic.
