This is truly a rare opportunity to secure a stunning 277 metre square, three to four bedroom home that has been cherished for over twenty six years.

Passing through a substantial masonry entrance, secured by an ornate wrought iron electronic gate, a neat gravel ringed driveway ushers you past the sculptured fountain sirens to your refined French colonial entry.
Delicious Jarrah floors cascade beneath your feet, leading into magnificent formal dining and living rooms. The immense 2.7 metre high ceilings, divine cornicing, ornate ceiling roses, classic floral light fittings and delicate friezes, tastefully make their statement of grand opulence.
Indulgence is further amplified within an enormous slate floored 8.2 x 4.9 metre glazed conservatory, the perfect home for a soothing spa.

Outside from your undercover entertaining area, protected by clear café blinds, you’ll be captivated by the well established gardens which include fifty year old Camellias and a 300 year old gum tree. And for the serious gardener two wicked veggie beds await.
Adjacent the eastern side of the principal dwelling is a double storey, rendered brick, self-contained flat that has operated as a successful bed and breakfast. (The Hahndorf Country Loft).
