The master suite offers a quiet escape, complete with a spa ensuite and access to a private sandstone courtyard. At the front, two verandahs overlook horse paddocks and picturesque rural vistas, while the wrap-around verandah at the rear is bathed in northern sunshine.

A separate summer house celebrates the past with recycled windows, an old tin roof lining, rustic chandeliers, and hessian coffee bags, infusing joy and whimsy. Within, a full-size kitchen, bathroom, and spa transform this space into an entertainment haven. Concertina doors gracefully extend this space to its own verandah.
