In fact, this home is brilliantly laid out for easy family co-existence, having distinct wings each offering the option for both privacy and connection when required. To the left of the foyer, is a grand recreation room and billiards room. It is characterised by soaring 15-foot vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. These rooms flow seamlessly to both the front and rear gardens, ensuring cooling natural breezes and effortless movement from indoors to the resort-style outdoor facilities. Adjacent to the recreation room is the children's wing, perfectly suited to teenagers, with two generous bedrooms, each with built-in robes, ceiling fans, and garden views. They share a light-filled bathroom featuring modern minimalist fittings, including a floating vanity, Rogerseller tapware, and a frameless shower.

Entertaining is enjoyable and effortless with the social areas being positioned at centre of the home. Tailored for those who love to entertain, this home elevates every occasion into a memorable affair. Whether it's casual get-togethers or lavish events, the thoughtfully designed social spaces flow effortlessly, blending elegance with comfort to ensure your guests are as captivated by the atmosphere as they are by the breathtaking surroundings.

The spacious dining room opens to both the sleek, modern kitchen and to the outdoor terrace. It is designed for gatherings large and small. A bank of bi-fold doors retracts, creating a seamless flow from indoor dining to alfresco meals on the expansive covered terrace.

The kitchen is a masterpiece of minimalist design, with Caesarstone and stainless-steel benchtops and sleek neutral coloured 2-pac cabinetry with Blum soft-close function. It is equipped with an extensive range of Miele appliances including a four-door integrated fridge, touch screen induction cooktop, touch screen oven and steamer oven, a plate warming draw, and Miele microwave and dishwasher. A large walk-in pantry is hidden behind a feature wall of spotted gum shiplap timber. It is a very well-planned kitchen, designed to be a social hub where friends and family can gather. There is plenty of seating at the large bench for all the family to eat breakfast or casual meals. It is a perfect spot for when friends drop in to have a coffee and a great place to supervise the younger kids doing homework.

Large timber framed glass doors disappear into the wall cavity to open the indoor kitchen directly to the outdoor entertaining kitchen, while a bank of bi-fold windows fold away to also allow easy service. Ideal for larger gatherings, the outdoor kitchen reflects the same sleek minimalist theme of the indoor kitchen cabinetry. However, it is equipped with a Ziegler & Brown gas turbo BBQ, Schweigen rangehood, Leibherr bar fridge, Billi water tap and more.

The adjoining north facing outdoor entertaining terrace is huge and offers areas for both lounging and space large enough for a long table to seat many. With both heaters and industrial fans installed in the ceiling, the outdoor room has been designed for all seasons and year-round comfort. It has hosted everything from casual family BBQs to huge Christmas and Easter long lunches with all the extended family. In fact, these facilities can accommodate the largest of milestone parties from raucous 21st celebrations to refined cocktail parties, where guests can comfortably spill out from the terrace to the large flat lawn. Overlooking a resort-style saltwater pool surrounded by tropical landscaping and a championship-sized tennis court, the grounds invite endless entertainment possibilities, from backyard cricket or tennis matches under the floodlights to elegant evening soirees beneath fairy lights.

Back inside and the generous master suite is located in a wing on the opposite side of the home. With windows on three sides, a walk-in robe, ensuite, and doors to a private terrace overlooking the lush lawn, this space offers a true escape. The ensuite is light, bright and airy, and has been fitted with high-end fixtures including a dual floating vanity by Apaiser, and tapware by Gessi. The shower recess opens via bi-fold doors to a private courtyard with an outdoor shower. This is a gorgeous advantage to living on acreage, where you can enjoy a shower in nature and completely uninhibited by neighbours.

An additional bedroom, family bathroom, laundry, and a spacious home office are also located in this wing. The bedroom is queen-sized and has a built-in study desk under a bay window. The family bathroom boasts a luxurious soaking tub by Hoesch Design and Rogerseller tapware. The office has been fitted out with desks, storage, and shelving. Just like all the bedrooms in this home, the office has ducted air conditioning, ceiling fan, built-in-robe, and a great view of the gardens. It offers the flexibility to double as a guest bedroom or to convert to a fifth bedroom for larger families.

There is a three-car garage, plus carport and multiple guest carparks available inside the secure gated property along with a storage shed with 9m x 3m awning.
