As picturesque as it is timeless and graceful, step back into an era when life was lived at a different pace with this stunning five acre property featuring gorgeous gardens dominated by giant shade trees and a two acre vineyard to produce your very own pinot noir.

Sheltered and private, this is a remarkable and affordable opportunity to delve into farm life only a couple of minutes from shops, schools and beaches. Surrounded by wide verandas and paved terraces, the beautifully maintained home features stunning outlooks from all four living and dining areas as well as a quiet sunroom.

Three bedrooms include two with open fireplaces and the master offers a walk-in robe and ensuite.

An old fashioned wood stove is backed up by modern electric appliances in the huge country kitchen where gleaming parquetry floors flow into a large meals area.

Opening onto a rear veranda bathed in morning sun, the formal rooms include an open fireplace in a carved timber surround and a large family room is also kept cosy in winter with a slow combustion wood heater.

Other features of this stunningly beautiful country property include a flag pole to raise your colors, a dam, a bore, a three-bay garage, separate workshop and a storage shed.
