Created with the finest materials and no expense spared, the timeless four-bedroom four-bathroom residence is designed by acclaimed architect Melinda Lawton to forge a close connection with nature by transgressing the lines between indoors and out in a family-focused single-level layout with vast expanses of glass taking full advantage of the beautiful views. Timber and natural stone finishes play leading roles in the design with open-plan living and dining areas flowing to an entertaining terrace and plunge pool, while the island kitchen (with butler's pantry) serves as the social heart of the home.

Soaring ceilings amplify a wonderful sense of space in the superb design with multiple living areas including a sunroom and guest living area with kitchenette. The two bedroom wings feature a vast master bedroom suite (with dressing area & ensuite), 3 more king-size bedrooms (all with ensuite and custom b/ins or WIR) and a home office with private courtyard.

Established level gardens with sweeping lawns, olive groves and specimen trees create a beautiful backdrop to the residence overlooking the property's manicured grounds featuring 5 horse paddocks (with 3 horse boxes), stable complex (with 3 horse boxes, wash bay, feed room, self-contained living quarters), truck shed, 120,000 litre water storage tanks and 2 Envirocycle treatment systems.
