At the heart of the property is an impressive main residence, complemented by a substantial two-storey shed incorporating additional accommodation, a separate stand-alone one-bedroom unit and 2 further multiple purpose-built sheds. Together, these improvements create an exceptional level of flexibility for extended family, guests, work, storage and a variety of lifestyle pursuits.

The Main Residence

The centrepiece of the estate is the impressive two-storey main residence, encompassing approximately 580m² under roof.

The elevated position provides a wonderful connection to the surrounding landscape, with the northerly aspect focusing on the distinctive Pinnacle Peak, or pinnacle hill as it is known locally, providing an impressive natural backdrop. Glimpses towards the coastline further enhance the setting.

With its generous proportions, elevated position and commanding outlook, the main residence provides an impressive focal point for this exceptional property.

Some of the key features to the main residence include 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, spacious office, large laundry, excellent under cover timber deck with pizza oven and centrally located internal spa bath with views to die for!

The Main Shed & Secondary Accommodation

A defining feature of the property is the substantial 30m x 9m x 5.2m two-storey main shed, offering an extraordinary combination of workspace, storage, vehicle accommodation and additional living space.

The western two bays incorporate a two-storey granny flat, comprising two bedrooms, shower, toilet, kitchen and computer nook, together with an adjoining 9m x 4m covered deck.

Further enhancements include an ensuite added to the main bedroom in November 2021, along with an additional garage. A further built-in bay incorporates a mezzanine floor plus 2 more rooms, providing additional versatile space.

The property's impressive shedding continues with a 13.8m x 10m x 3.6m powered three-sided workshop shed and a 9m x 9m x 6m powered three-sided machinery shed.

Collectively, the improvements provide an exceptional level of workspace, storage and accommodation, making the estate particularly well suited to those seeking both an outstanding residence and substantial supporting infrastructure.

The Standalone Unit

Adding further versatility is the property's standalone one-bedroom unit, privately positioned away from the main residence.

The self-contained accommodation comprises a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area, together with an open carport and a generous 8m x 4m covered deck – once again taking in the magnificent views.

Offering its own independent living environment, the unit provides an ideal option for extended family, guests or additional accommodation, while maintaining separation from the principal residence.
