Conceived as a calming escape between the gums and hills, this custom-built home belongs exactly where it sits – at the heart of its 2.7-acre (1.1HA) parcel where every window frames a layer of epic countryside.

The one-owner 2009 design replicates the charm of an historic country cottage - from its thermally sound double-brick construction and 360-degree return verandah to authentic Meranti sash windows and architraves - all nodding to enduring craftsmanship.

The deep driveway lined with Claret Ash makes a lifestyle announcement blushing with colour; a halo of Banksia Roses softens the 40m x 20m horse arena, while three fenced paddocks, edible gardens and a thriving orchard of plums, cherries, figs and blueberries stand primed for your hobby farming and self-sustainability era.

Bring the pony - or simply enjoy the company of curious cows next door – in the rural silence broken by parrots and blue wrens flitting between the trees.

Inside and out, beautiful outlooks await. From east to west, spectacular sunrises and sunsets backdrop and bathe the majestic gums, making every aspect magical.

From entry, a wide central gallery dissects the home and connects every room. At the cooler southern end, a 540-bottle wine cellar stores your finest collection opposite the laundry-cum-creative-utility room.

The serene primary suite slips away to a walk-in robe and enjoys ensuite access to the heritage-style main bathroom with a rolltop bath. For guests, a second bathroom sits adjacent the third/guest bedroom.

Exquisite joinery is showcased in the sophisticated main lounge bound by a library wall and the landscape, while the open plan living, kitchen and meals finale dines and winds down around a Nectre combustion fire, drawn to panoramic paddock views.

And nothing less than a premium Falcon cooker with double ovens, a gas cooktop, Falcon rangehood, and double country sinks befits the authentic farm kitchen.

Practical lifestyle essentials include a quality-built stable, wood and potting sheds, four-bay open garaging – with three-phase power and a large workshop - plus a roofless hut to hide the gas bottles and A/C unit.

The owners and creators say they "fluked" this stunning land find. Yet what they built from the ground up was anything but luck. Every decision - from the home's orientation, the gardens, paddocks and plantings - was carefully orchestrated to embrace the landscape around it.

A level, manageable acreage with endless borrowed vistas. The home feels like it's always belonged here - and before long, so will you.
