An Entertainers delight with a lifestyle focus, are rare combination of tantalising and practical. While the horses and bikes are welcome, so are poolside cocktails and the sharpest eye for architectural design thanks to an all-new lifestyle revelation at one with its gum-studded surrounds.
With a goal came a challenge, and with 14 acres, a great layout, the ingenious vision of DKJ Architects, extensive earthworks, bluestone rock walling and new fencing, Bruben Park's ethereal ground-up evolution makes it notably one of Oakbank's most elite rural properties.
Agist or entertain; you'll excel at both. The up to 5-bedroom designer home responding to its environment with natural hues and luxurious textures to give each generous living space, bedroom, and bespoke bathroom the style and continuity they deserve.
Bar the birdsong, you'll hear a pin drop - from the designer pool's relaxation steps, the adjoining travertine-paved alfresco, and the sunken firepit, and shouldered by horse or cattle-ready paddocks, the impressive water supply, auto-irrigation and shedding makes this a stunning walk in and relax package.
The horse arena is framed by majestic Cypress trees and proves only decades can produce this kind of shade; and only rural elevation can produce these views.
You'll float indoors and out via 6m wide bi-folding glass doors beneath cathedral ceiling peaks and host around swathes of Caesarstone marble in a kitchen that will be the centre of your entertaining world, a sidestep from the custom cellar creating a sublime sit and sip experience.
Yet you'll save the most ambient moments any hour in the private master ensuite, where dual indoor rain showers exit for a resort-style, starlit 3rd.
With practical mudroom access from the rear carport, ample parking, a tack and feed room, stables and open bay shedding bound for more, the only effort is adventure hit the high paddock's forest trails, go quad-biking, discover the campfire site, or discover how just 20 minutes from Stirling, this rare turnkey tranquility has it all
