This superb rural holding in the sought after locality of Mandemar is arguably the finest property currently available in the area.

Wrapped in history and surrounded by enviable age old gardens, this enchanting and highly functional property set on 75 productive acres (30Ha approx.), is being offered for sale for the first time in 30 years.
The main residence was designed by Richard Rowe in 2003 with a brief to capture as much light and warmth as possible and to give a feeling of bringing the garden in and around. Superbly appointed and offering a glorious sense of space and comfort it features soaring timber lined vaulted ceilings, heated polished concrete floors and an abundance of sash Windows and French doors throughout.
A well appointed kitchen overlooks the conservatory style open concept lounge and dining complete with open fireplace. A panoramic window feature leads the eye to the most peaceful of rural scenes across the paddocks and beyond.
A magnificent master bedroom opens straight on to a north facing courtyard and the full size main bathroom is complete with all modern expectations.
The Cottage-reputed to be one of the oldest homes in the district was originally built c.1850 with some modifications since. Still proudly displaying many of its original features and lovingly maintained, the cottage offers separate accommodation to the main home.
The Barn-a magical character filled building complete with kitchenette has a jasmine covered annexed courtyard that simply takes your breath away.
Farm Infrastructure-an extremely clever paddock layout with laneway system, good fencing and water to each paddock. Quality pastures on grey loam soils and picturesque stands of shade/shelter trees. Charming old shearing/machinery shed, cattle yards and adjacent cow shed/stables.
