A bench almost as long as a cricket pitch divides the slick kitchen of this 38 square home from its vast, open-plan living and dining area. Floor-to-ceiling windows stretch out on both sides, making the most of the natural light and offering views across the 14 hectare property. Exposed beams run in criss-cross formation above, adding interest to the high ceilings. A free-standing wood fire, with a wood stack nook built-in, warms the room, with the help of split-system heating and cooling. From either side of the family room two wings, each with two bedrooms and a bathroom, are also light and comfortable. A studio apartment, attached to the main residence, could be the coolest teenage retreat or guest accommodation. New fencing, shady trees and plenty of water make the property a peaceful and comfy resting place for four-legged friends, too.
