Whoever said lifestyle living was hard work can eat their hat! This exceptionally well-established property proves you really can enjoy country living without sacrificing every weekend to property maintenance. My vendors have already done the hard yards, creating a beautifully established setting where your jobs are more likely to involve a scoot around on the mower, the occasional hedge trim, and keeping an eye on a few beefies or pet lambs happily grazing for the freezer. Set on 1.035 hectares (2.55 acres), it's a place where weekends are yours to enjoy, evenings end in the spa pool, and there's plenty of room for the whole family to spread out and enjoy the lifestyle you've always imagined. Surrounded by mature hedging for great privacy, the charming family home immediately captures attention with its classic gabled roof. Inside, the generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, with three sets of aluminium French doors opening onto a sun-drenched terrace. Families will love the layout, with a second living area and two of the three double bedrooms tucked away upstairs for the kids, while downstairs the beautifully sunny master suite also has French doors opening outside, a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. As well as a family bathroom with separate toilet, dedicated office space, separate laundry and excellent storage throughout. When winter rolls around, the freestanding wood burner keeps the home warm upstairs and down, while the wetback helps keep power bills in check, along with ceiling and wall insulation. Outside, the lifestyle infrastructure is already in place with a large enclosed implement shed, stock race and fully fenced paddocks along with two carports, a garden shed, woodshed, two concrete water tanks and septic system. Perfectly positioned just moments from town and close to the river reserve and cycleways, you'll have even more opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy everything the area has to offer. If you've been looking for a lifestyle property where the hard work has already been done, this is one you'll want to see for yourself!

There's something special and equally exciting about this stunning property. Set amongst beautifully established grounds on the very cusp of town, this superbly configured property offers space in spades and an incredibly versatile layout that opens the timber front door to all sorts of possibilities. At the heart of the home is a glorious, sun-filled open plan kitchen, dining and everyday living space where family life is front and centre. Bathed in sunlight, it opens out to a large deck overlooking the lush grounds and the above-ground pool - the perfect spot for summer barbecues while the kids make the most of long afternoons outdoors. When it's time to retreat, the gracious separate formal lounge provides a second living space, also opening onto a deck. What truly sets this home apart is its clever configuration with a guest suite seamlessly incorporated into the main home, complete with its own entrance, two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchenette. Whether it's independent space for extended family, a teenager's retreat, accommodation for guests, or the opportunity for supplementary income, adding genuine long-term value. The main residence has three double bedrooms, including a lovely master with walk-in wardrobe and doors opening onto the deck while a magnificent family bathroom with a luxurious bathtub and large tiled shower sits adjacent. Practicality hasn't been overlooked either. There's a large separate laundry, excellent heating with a freestanding wood burner and heat transfer system, gas hot water, insulation top and bottom, ceiling fans, and some double glazing. Outside, it just gets even better. A double garage with toilet and large workshop provides plenty of room for projects, storage or hobbies, while bonus extras - including a generator plug for peace of mind during power cuts - speak to the attention to detail that's gone into the property. There's an orchard, sheltered vegetable gardens with raised beds, and beautifully established plantings creating pockets of dappled shade and colour throughout the seasons. All this is set in an exceptional location - positioned along a country road just minutes from town amenities. Properties that offer so much are rare. Once you see it, you'll understand why.

Some homes need a second viewing. This one will have you sold on the spot. Tucked towards the end of a private driveway, wrapped in beautifully established gardens on a 7,526m2 (1.85 acre) site gazing east across a spectacular rural landscape, this is luxury lifestyle living done exceptionally well. Beautifully designed and crafted to make the absolute most of its surroundings - peaceful, private and polished to perfection. The stunning, light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is the heart and soul of the home and is designed to be enjoyed, with a fabulous walk-in pantry, quality appointments and a seamless flow straight out to the covered entertaining area. And then there's the master suite. More retreat than bedroom, sliders spill onto the patio where the included spa pool awaits, while a walk-through wardrobe and stunning ensuite add a little everyday luxury. Two further double bedrooms, both with wardrobes, are complemented by a beautifully appointed family bathroom with stunning walk in tiled shower, while a clever office nook gives you somewhere to get the work done without sacrificing a bedroom. But what really makes this home stand out are all those little details you don't fully appreciate until you have them. Electric hallway blinds, attic storage, stunning tiling, polished concrete and plush carpet, quality fixtures and fittings, free standing Masport fire, heat pump, heat transfer and an energy-efficient heat-pump hot water system - everything has been considered, right down to every last finishing touch. Outside is every bit as impressive. The fully fenced grounds are beautifully planted, there's a large storage shed with roller door in additional to the double integral garage with a woodshed tucked neatly away behind it, and two 30,000-litre rainwater tanks with Puretec filtration system. But perhaps some of its best features aren't ones you can measure. It's the peace. The privacy. The simply outstanding rural views. It's morning sun spilling across the landscape, evenings spent soaking in the spa, and the feeling of turning into your own private, luxurious pocket of the world and leaving everything else somewhere behind you. Simply sensational.
