Why they chose this property
We bought this property 47 years ago because we love the country side and the mountain fresh air. We wanted space for our children to grow up in and now our grandchildren are also enjoying this beautiful space.
What makes this property unique
The privacy, seclusion, quiet area and native birds are what so many people comment on. We offer all the comforts of home. Views to the hills. Autumn colours and Spring Blossoms. Colourful native birds constantly feed in our garden. There are many lovely bush walks. The Wilderness is not far away, where you can really get away from it all.
