To encapsulate all that this unique property has into just a few paragraphs here, will do it an extreme dis-service. To see is to believe. To believe.. that a land can give back more than you put in. To believe.. that old growth forests so close to the coast still exist. To believe.. that the past can soothe and nurture our present. To believe.. that there is land that rejuvenates with a balance between water, forest, sky and shelter. To believe.. that new beginnings in an old world are possible.....

This land alone will captivate you, as the valley cradles the main home and amazing secondary dwelling. The main home includes a large, tree shaded timber deck area, 4 bedrooms plus study, 2 bathrooms, 5 year old spectacular inground pool - perfect for the kids to play within sight of the open plan lounge / kitchen, all on a single, comfortable level with a great yard space for entertaining the whole tribe.

With mains backed solar how water and close to 50,000 ltrs of water storage, plus header tank, this home is well on its way to self-sufficiency.
Here she comes! There is also a second residence with its own driveway on the property of a very special nature that you will simply love. Hand crafted and needing no extra attention, except the admiration kind, is the 120 year old, former dining carriage, of a train literally fit for royalty. The carriage has been lovingly and painstakingly restored, highlighting the stunning internal timbers of Teak, Silky Oak and American Oak to name a few. The carriage forms 2 generous bedrooms and is complemented by the adjoining lounge, kitchen and bathroom, all in keeping with the bespoke, bygone era, with hardwood floors, gas cooking and a great morning balcony looking down to the swimming hole of the creek. Imagine drifting to sleep in such an incredible piece of history within the nurturing peace and quiet that this location brings. Wake up to the trickle of the creek, the gentle splash of platypus, bees humming and birds singing. All Aboard!! This is one simply exquisite ride you don't want to miss.
