Just occasionally you come across a property that almost defies description. On the market for the first time since it was built just on 40 years ago, this home oozes rustic charm.

With about half the property terraced to allow multiple uses the rest is untouched and with walking tracks meandering throughout there is something to discover around every bend.
Acreage properties this close to town (SMITHFIELD) are in high demand, so you can take the opportunity to sub-divide and still keep an acre of rainforest for yourself. The terraced and landscaped part of the property could also be utilised to build a large shed or workshop. Of course, this all Subject to Council Approval.
