From the orchestrated approach to iconic “Carabooda”, well known in the region for the verdant hue of the Gleditsia lined driveway beyond a picturesque timber bridge and rustic wagon, to the rural idyll of one of Montrose’s favoured locations. Stunningly reimagined, the residence redefines contemporary luxury on 6.4 acres (approx.) including a second dwelling, “Shadow Mist”, suiting multi-generational living or investment property income.

Framed by a quiet outdoor entertaining area at the top of a spectacular retaining wall and stairs, with outdoor fireplace, and solar and gas heated inground pool and spa with merbau decking shaded by a beautiful Japanese maple.
