And wait till you see the backyard environment. On a superb 1160sqm, you certainly don't feel closed-in, it is peaceful, private, all useable and easy to live with. An age-old Oak Tree along the back boundary provides a shaded canopy and every corner of the allotment has been beautifully established - there is a market garden of raised irrigated vegetable beds, an arbour of passionfruit, a thriving lawn area, a dream home for the chickens, a fire-pit, espalier fruit trees crafted along the fence line, a vine covered pergola that wraps around the back of the home, and wandering pathways that take in the warm winter sun from the north.

Inside, there are four bedrooms.

The main bedroom looks out across a trickling water feature and a private front yard setting to the National Park - the walk-in robe is complete with built-in storage while the light filled ensuite has a large rain-shower.

Opposite is a separate lounge, an ideal complement to the main bedroom - a peaceful retreat with French doors that open to a terrace verandah, it is so beautiful out here.

Bedroom's two and three have built-in storage and shelf units - they both look out to greenery and share a three-way main bathroom with a fabulous full-length vanity. Bedroom four is another nice size room, currently used as a home-office with built-in bookshelves and sliding doors to the terrace.

The main open plan living areas combine the kitchen with everyday dining, while lounging around the TV feels separate when you want it to be. Spacious and practical for everyday living and when entertaining, this open plan space comes together beautifully - there are lots of windows that bring in the outdoors and they are extended by a huge alfresco under-main-roof where sliding doors open to provide fabulous indoor-outdoor living.

At the heart of the family home is the kitchen and this one is a beauty! The centre island is a big feature - it has great width and extra bench-space, drawer storage is plenty, there is a power source at each end, a niche to seat a few stools, and the cooking area is zoned to one side with a drop-down exhaust canopy and pendant lighting off to the side.

Along the back wall are the wet-areas - a double-fridge cavity, more cupboard store, a dishwasher and deep double sinks. This all-white Hamptons kitchen with its detailed cabinetry, cupped handles and stone benchtops is fresh, vibrant, and so practical. And if that isn't enough - a huge walk-in larder is a surprise complement, we all want one!

The home has zoned ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, a solar PV system perfectly oriented north, and a large double garage with extra space for the boat or camper-trailer. There is excellent water storage and automatic irrigation.

A detached barn style studio inspired and converted from an old garage is a real surprise. With its loft looking down over the lounge retreat, it provides for a wonderful and versatile escape. It is a giant playhouse for the children, teenagers will love it, or is it a studio for the painter or hobbyist. It has a built-in day bed and large windows that look out to the glorious gardens.

A Wonderfully Complete Family Home, and ... Oh' What a Place to Live!
