WHAT THE OWNER LOVES
- Living where we do is like living inside a natural sculpture that is an absolute work of art. This home has been a large part of our lives for many years and we will miss not living here.
- The location is secluded and private and very quiet yet still close to everything we need including shops, transport and schools, with lots of nearby walking tracks to local spots.
- We love the views and being so close to nature, we have daily visits from incredible wildlife including wallabies, kookaburras, birds and goannas.
