Enjoy the good life that everyone dreams of: a self-sufficient lifestyle haven close to shops, parks and the beach, yet so secluded and serene you could be living miles off the beaten track.

This is a unique opportunity to work remotely in a private 6416sqm* pastoral setting and feel far from the madding crowd, while harvesting your own produce, collecting fresh eggs for breakfast, and two paddocks for grazing a few sheep or a couple of ponies for the kids.

As well as a refurbished, low-maintenance, brick-and-tile home, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple living areas and indoor-outdoor flow, there’s a three-bay garage/workshop that would be ideal for tradesmen or anyone who needs extra space for hobbies or storing all the preserves to be made from the bounty of vegetables and fruit – lemons, blood oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, apples, peaches, raspberries, apricots to name a few.

Just imagine watching the sun set over your verdant oasis from the veranda or spa pool and toasting your good fortune with a glass of home-made feijoa wine. So, don’t delay – make this summer your most memorable yet.
