The three bedroom home with multiple living spaces has a welcoming feel. Surrounded by garden the outlook is lovely. The kitchen and dining area boast a sunny northerly aspect overlooking a paved terrace and lawn area. A separate cabin offers a space to retreat and with a little work could be configured as a lovely studio. The garden is filled with camellias and plants, some rare, which have been collected by the family over years. The garden below the house has also been the venue for a family wedding ceremony with roses and box hedging perfect on the day.

Space for pets and animals, the numerous sheds may also appeal to collectors, hobbyists or market traders. The horse float, caravan and Winnebago can be safely undercover when at home. Explore the possibilities of the potential of the large levelled area for an arena or add a marquee for an event.

Take a short drive into Uraidla for necessities from the Bakery and enjoy the lovely country pub feel of the Uraidla Hotel or a pizza from Lost in the Forest. Local produce is available roadside in Summertown and Piccadilly while there is so much happening throughout the Hills. A trip to the city or suburbs is easy down Greenhill Road. For some, embrace a tree change, for those in the know seize the opportunity. This offering has the potential to be life changing.
