This idyllic country home is set on a picturesque 100-acre bush property. The home features three bedrooms with queen-sized beds, an ensuite, and a main bathroom with a toilet, shower, and bathtub. The hexagonal living area includes a country-style kitchen and dining room, with stunning views of the surrounding garden and bushland from the cozy lounge room. You can enjoy bush walks on the property, visit local attractions, or simply relax and savor the tranquility.

I’m Aaron and I live on my property with my sister, Jess and her daughter, Alia. We spent our childhood growing up here, and have lots of information to share about our surroundings, including the birdlife and native animals, so please feel free to ask. We’re looking forward to meeting you and showing you around! I live on the property with my sister, Jess, and my niece, Alia. I’m often around and would be happy to take you on a guided walk of the property or have a chat by the fire if you’d like to get to know me. However, you’re also welcome to simply enjoy the privacy of your home and the quiet solitude of the bush. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message via email. You can also contact me via mobile if I’m not at home.
