Located in a quiet rural setting but just minutes from the local village, this huge family home sits on a level 5000 sqm (one and a quarter acres) block with long rural views from every window. The home is set up so that it is perfect for your older parents downstairs where they could be fully independent with a full bathroom, bedroom, and two living rooms one of which could easily house a kitchenette. The ceiling downstairs is very high and the walls are all solid concrete block, giving the property great thermal mass and therefore it is nice and cool down here.

With nearly 300 sqm of home, the upstairs contains 6 bedrooms along with huge living rooms which open onto the wide front covered verandah. The kitchen is a cook's delight with plenty of storage, heaps of bench space, a stainless steel oven, and a dishwasher. The home has air conditioning right throughout and with the 15 kilowatts of solar on the roof the sun will pay the power bill.

Downstairs the garage is big enough to house up to 6 cars with drive-through access. When front and back doors are up the crossflow breeze cools it down instantly. Not only is there room for your cars and boat, possibly a caravan, but there is space for the home gym and workshop as well.

The current owners have planted a large range of tropical fruit trees as well as a productive veggie garden and there is still room for the chicken coup. This property is not big enough to breed fat cattle, but it is certainly big enough to become very self-sufficient, with its own water storage, solar, and productive gardens.
