The configuration of the home works perfectly for families or couples with visitors. The Master bedroom on the ground floor offer peaceful views of open fields, nature, and the pool through full length cedar French doors and windows. The home offers various ceiling heights throughout and the master sanctuary has extremely high ceiling.
The ground level bathroom is reminiscent of a stony flowing creek bed and could easily refresh the weariest of travellers. A downstairs laundry is practical and serviced via and upstairs laundry chute.

The hub of this home is the kitchen which also offers some of the best views through more French doors. Thick 300 year old slab timber benches and robust timber poles of popular Gympie messmate frame this spacious and family friendly kitchen. The kitchen includes:
Pirelli flooring
900mm Chef's Eurolec gas oven and cooktop
Smeg dishwasher and stainless rangehood
Walk-in pantry, double sink, insinkerator, filtered tap water
Slab timber breakfast bar and overhead glass storage
One of the gathering places for rest and relaxation is the spacious lounge room complete with internal water feature and Hot Drum wood fireplace. For warm nights under the stars the outdoor entertaining areas near the pool make you feel like your holidaying at an eco-resort. The enchanting slab timber staircase leads to upstairs rooms which are very large and offer separated balconies and a spacious two-way bathroom all in natural earthy finishings. The slanted windows and library shelves are adjacent to the large void space which draws breezes beautifully up through the home via an electric vergola outdoor louvre.
Maintenance around the home is straight forward with a small ride on mower whipper snipper etc. The natural forest takes care of itself without interruption from humans via regeneration and seasonal cycles.
