Tucked well back from the road behind Ruwoldt Reserve, the residence is completely shielded from neighbors, creating a peaceful sanctuary just 8km from the heart of Mount Gambier. The 1987 built home is a construction of brick veneer with Mount Gambier stone quoins, designed to blend timeless character with high-functioning rural utility. All internal and external walls are insulated. The heart of the residence is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area featuring soaring exposed raked beams. At its center sits a "Thermalux" wood-fired heater, which serves as a cozy focal point and a highly efficient utility - featuring its own oven and cooktop while simultaneously supplying the home's hot water during winter. In the warmer seasons, it's provided by the evacuated tube solar panel mounted on the north-facing roof. For effortless climate control, a large Mitsubishi split-system air conditioner services the main living zones, while the entire home is heavily insulated and fitted with thermal "cellular" blinds to ensure year-round comfort.

Every garden bed, the orchard, and the expansive lawns are serviced by an automatic reticulation system supplied by a private bore. For the enthusiast or tradesperson, the shedding is unparalleled.
