Elegant fountains frame your view as you enter, leading your eye across a serene ornamental pond to the sweeping panoramic vistas beyond. It's a breathtaking welcome that perfectly sets the tone for this exceptional residence. Surrounded by unspoiled bushland, this property is a haven for native wildlife. Birds (including some endangered species), kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and echidnas are regular visitors, creating a truly immersive Australian country experience and a bird watcher's paradise.
