Approaching the property from the bitumen sealed Hoffnungsthal Road you would be forgiven for thinking you had taken a wrong turn and heading off into a paddock. But once you rise over the hillcrest the private vista that could be yours opens up showing uninterrupted views of majestic gums and the rolling hills that attracted the German settlers many years ago.
As you continue up the driveway the blue-stone (sourced onsite) fronted house, nestled on the hillside shows its country charm surrounded by the 'house paddock' with a chook yard and expansive area to plant your dream kitchen garden. As you enter the rear of the house through a large paved area, perfect for those 'Tuscan' nights sipping wine with antipasto, you are pleasantly surprised by the modern features of this country home.
