The gourmet kitchen also echoes the distinct style of the home. With its showpiece, supersized marble island bench, pristine herringbone floors and custom range hood, its also complemented by Miele appliances and a butler’s pantry. Highlighted by crisp white panelled walls and a coffered ceiling embellished with rich timber beams, this is where the whole family will want to congregate and linger a while in conversation.
Bedrooms are all expansive and well appointed. All are ensuited and enjoy views of the idyllic gardens, lawns and natural bushlands which encase the home. The spacious master suite will also prove to be the ultimate sanctuary, boasting two walk-in robes, a dramatic stone ensuite plus a private terrace with hinterland views, ideal for soaking up afternoon sunsets.
The resort style oasis which beckons outdoors is where you can expect to enjoy endless family fun.

Equipped with all the amenities you need for an unforgettable event or even just a casual catch-up with the kids, its features include wine fridges, sink, gas barbecue, Kamado smoker, grill and pizza oven.
