Set amid expansive views of rolling farmland, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat is made for rural living. A walled gravel courtyard, complete with planter boxes and a water feature, creates a welcoming approach, while generous garaging is practical in this setting. Covered outdoor living zones are anchored by a built-in fireplace, offering a warm, sheltered vantage point to enjoy the shifting light as it colours the surrounding landscape. Inside, the 337sqm layout blends timeless materials with contemporary ease. Traditional farmhouse cues — weathered timber features, crisp plaster and deep eaves — give way to expansive, open-plan living, where three skylights draw light into the heart of the home.

Textural contrast comes through country-style panelled cabinetry, timber flooring, and curved glass pendants that float above the oversized kitchen island. A scullery provides support for large-scale hosting, while the lounge and dining spaces flow on to a pergola-framed patio and beyond to green pastures and open skies. The main bedroom includes a charming window seat and dual-aspect windows that frame uninterrupted countryside views. A luxurious bathroom features richly toned wall tiles, timber cabinetry and a deep soaking tub set beneath louvred shutters. Every detail has been considered to deliver both character and clarity.
