What seems like worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city, nestled amongst farmland and the water's edge, is actually in such close proximity to everything you need.

Set on 6,500m2 is this 370m2 clearly designed, brand new home. Although appearing barn like from the outside, through the farm style wooden door, it is anything but. Main living forms a T shape in which additional rooms and sleeping quarters stem from. Triple sliders line one entire wall covering sitting room, dining room and kitchen, allowing you to create unity between the indoors and out. This seamless transition could not be more perfect when entertaining throughout summer or watching the kids spend hours in the pool on long hot days.

The kitchen itself is a real draw card for any budding foodie. A double oven with gas hob and spacious bench top-cum-breakfast bar, provide the tools needed to create culinary delights. The best part though is the larder. Running parallel behind the kitchen it boasts an abundance of space for blenders, steamers and any array of kitchen toys or freshly made cookies.

Polished concrete wooden floors cover this space and are not only practical but add the element of contemporary cool. Although you'll adore the open plan living, if the time comes to bunker down with a movie, a separate lounge exists. Also on this level are two bedrooms, one big enough to double as an office and a luxuriously sized bathroom.

Upstairs, you'll find the family element to the home continues. Three large bedrooms create a wealth of space and in addition, the master bedroom. With a rural outlook, wrap around ensuite and walk through wardrobe, the comfort level on offer is second to none.

As if the kids would tire of the living and playing options available to them but if they do, a second structure on the property provides a rumpus room for them and additional parking storage for your boat or classic car - should you need the excuse to now purchase one.
