Positioned beyond a picturesque tree-lined approach, this 5.23-hectare lifestyle property reveals a sense of scale and scenic grandeur that encourages a relaxed pace of living. Cross the bridge over the stream and pass the pond to a home defined by space and intentional design, where paddocks bask in the sunlight and the private tennis court awaits play. Bringing together space and seamless interaction, this double-level residence features an open-plan living layout accompanied by two lounges, one providing an elevated vantage on the top floor. Throughout the home, a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living invites effortless movement and frames spectacular views, leading to a balcony, patios, a sunlit conservatory, and a heated pool and spa, setting the stage for idyllic evenings that linger long into the night. The theme of spaciousness extends to five bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a separate laundry and a range of heating options, including gas water heating, a heat pump, a wood burner, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms for unmatched comfort. True to form, the outdoor space is abundant, featuring an internal-access double garage and ample off-street parking for more than ten vehicles. A large shed with an integrated office invites creative ventures or quiet focus, while four garden sheds add practicality. Modern utilities like bore water, a septic tank, and fibre broadband meet contemporary needs. With the Friday farmers' market nearby and Mandeville Village within easy reach, this property brings country living to life only 25 minutes from the city centre.
