2.3 Acres of Park-Like Perfection Nestled in an idyllic Karaka pocket, this 9,331 sqm estate offers a rare blend of scale, privacy, and picturesque beauty. From the private jetty on your own tranquil pond to the established fruit trees and easy-care gardens, this is the ultimate “forever home” for families seeking space without the stress.

 

The Residence: Space & Sophistication Spanning a generous 331 sqm, this immaculately maintained home is north-facing to capture all-day sun.

 

The Social Hub: A sprawling kitchen with a “picture-book” rural outlook flows into open-plan dining and living areas. For the cooler months, a classic wood-burning fire creates a cozy atmosphere, while a separate generous lounge provides the perfect space for formal entertaining.

 

The Master Wing: Upstairs, the master suite is a true sanctuary with elevated views, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite. Two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upper level, all serviced by ducted air-conditioning.

 

Flexible Living: A fourth bedroom and third bathroom downstairs offer ideal separation for guests or teenagers.

 

Outdoor Living & Entertaining Seamless indoor-outdoor flow leads to a massive north-facing deck overlooking the sparkling inground swimming pool. Whether it’s a summer BBQ or a quiet morning coffee overlooking the pond, this is a home designed for making memories.

 

The Infrastructure: A Tradesman’s Dream Rarely do you find shedding of this caliber.

 

Primary Workshop: A massive secure shed with 3-phase power, concrete floors, workbenches, two high-roller door bays, and a lean-to carport.

 

Secondary Storage: A three-roller-door shed, perfect for the ride-on mower, machinery, or firewood.

 

Work From Home: Above the internal-access double garage (complete with a mudroom), you’ll find a carpeted two-room loft—the perfect quiet office or hobby space.
