Teeming with wildlife where Kangaroos and wallabys graze the grassy areas, you can watch them from the front porch and many different bird species to watch and listen to in the gardens surrounding the house. All this adds to the tranquility of the property.A truly unique and rare offering, this amazing property is sure to bring many treasured memories for the next lucky owners.
