Tucked away down a whimsical winding country drive and across your own little bridge over the creek bed sits just over 8 acres of dreamland, with a bonus house to boot. The opportunities are endless here - live in the current house while building your forever home, knock it down and start from scratch, or renovate the '60s homestead full of love, laughter, and family warmth and make it completely your own. There's no rush because the current abode is perfectly liveable and you can take your time (you're on Hills Time now) and come up with a plan that suits you to a T. The present owners have lived here for 4 decades and have raised children, grandchildren, and even great grandchildren within the safe playground of the fully fenced house and garden area; picking fruit from the trees, basking in the serenity, and enjoying the seclusion that means kiddos can make as much noise as they like without ever bothering a neighbour! The land itself will inspire your grand designs with its pockets of bush, magical open spaces, and the Winter creek trickling into the Winter dam. You'll love sitting with the birds in the covered entertaining area out back, while the kids build a treehouse or go exploring with the dog, and if you need a spot to tinker, there's a choice of two good-sized sheds to do it in. Should you have older children, the 4th bedroom comes with its own kitchenette and bathroom - utterly perfect for fostering some growing independence or welcoming Granny for a little (or longer) stay.

Although you're spoiled for quiet here, you're still close to everything a modern family needs. Bus stops will get you down to Midland, the kids to school, or commuters into the CBD, there are schools a quick drive away, and also the local skate park and sporting clubs for the kids, plus the Tavern and local cafes for Sunday 'Planning Meetings'. A little further afield you'll find National Parks and wide open spaces folks move to the Hills to experience, but once you're settled in you may not want to leave your own plot of paradise much. It's the kind of land that owns your heart for life. The perfect opportunity for time to plan, and maybe build!
