The main residence is cleverly divided into two self-contained living spaces. On one side, a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home provides generous living areas, making it perfect for larger families. The other half features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, ideal for extended family, guests, or rental potential.

Inside, you’ll find a modern kitchen complete with sleek stone-top benches, a coal range for both cooking and hot water, and solar panels to enhance energy efficiency. The master suite offers a private ensuite, while the entire home benefits from a heat transfer system, a boiler heating radiators throughout, and insulation in the roof and underfloor to ensure year-round comfort. While a sunroom/covered deck runs the full length of the home, offering a tranquil spot to relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings.

Additional Living Options:
Beyond the main residence, the charm continues with a 1 bedroom cottage. Ideal for independent family members, guests, or as a potential rental income source, this inviting space enhances the flexibility and value of the property.
