Contemporary home on 41ha with BnB and industrial sheds
Bold contemporary design and sweeping rural views come together across approximately 41.5 hectares at this impressive property. Built in 2022, the five-bedroom home makes a striking first impression with its rich timber and dark exterior finishes, opening to beautifully appointed interiors designed for relaxed family living and entertaining. A privately situated two-bedroom dwelling and extensive shedding enhance the property’s versatility, creating an appealing opportunity for those seeking a refined country retreat with space for family, guests and personal pursuits.
Polished concrete floors, crisp white walls, and expansive black-framed windows define the open plan kitchen, living and dining area. Sleek dark cabinetry, a substantial concrete-top island with dining seating and statement pendant lighting creates a striking kitchen, complemented by quality stainless-steel appliances, including a 900mm oven and gas cooktop. A large butler’s pantry accommodates the fridge, double dish drawers and generous storage. In the living area, a wood heater set against a feature brick backdrop brings warmth and character, with reverse cycle air conditioning ensuring comfort throughout the seasons, while sliding doors open to the entertaining terrace. The separate family room offers a sunlit bay window seat, with reverse cycle air conditioning in both living spaces ensuring year-round comfort.
Thoughtfully arranged for family living, the main bedroom enjoys its own private wing, creating a peaceful parents’ retreat complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Four further bedrooms occupy the opposite side of the home, each featuring built-in robes. Beautifully appointed with full-height tiling, timber vanities and above-counter basins, the bathrooms continue the home’s refined contemporary style. In the main bathroom, a freestanding bath and spacious walk-in shower overlook a garden atrium, bringing natural light and greenery into the space for a tranquil, retreat-like feel. A separate WC and dedicated laundry with generous bench space and storage, and easy access outside complete the layout.
Outside, a broad terrace, spa and dedicated fire pit area invite relaxed entertaining against a sweeping countryside backdrop. A double garage provides storage and internal access, while two substantial industrial size sheds of approximately 216sqm and 108sqm accommodate vehicles, equipment and workshop pursuits, with extensive additional parking available. Beyond the home, approximately 102.5 acres offer a low-maintenance balance of open land and natural bushland, with a dam adding to the rural appeal. Roughly half the grounds provide usable space for lifestyle pursuits if desired, while the remaining treed landscape includes a Swift Parrot conservation area.
