THE LOCATION WAS TOO SPECIAL TO BUILD THE ORDINARY

When the original owners acquired this land in the 1990s their vision was to create a living environment that was suited to the dominant position of this exceptional site and to create a home that would complement its surroundings.

Without doubt their mission was successful. What stands here now is a prestigious four bedroom home with quality fittings and chattels and double glazing. The house sits astride 1.2 ha and the grounds are tastefully landscaped with well established ornamentals helping to enhance the impression of privacy.

Schools and services are about 8km away in nearby Richmond and the school bus stops at the corner of Haycock Road, a short drive away.

Decorated in earthy tones in total sympathy with its surroundings, the home is designed to be enjoyed, from the granite benchtops of the gourmet kitchen to the generously spacious bathroom and ensuite spaces. And we haven't even talked about the views! This home will be a pleasure to own.
