With the enduring charm of a true classic, the heartwarming main dwelling offers genuine country comfort expressed through limed cathedral ceilings and exposed beams, with an expansive northerly aspect offering unwavering enjoyment of the 7.8 acres approx. of gently undulating lawns, stretching to vast bushland views, as well as ocean views to Philip Island and beyond.
