What the Original Owners Loved About Living Here.
Built in 1980, this solid and expansive home was designed to grow with our family—and it did! With six generous bedrooms, it comfortably housed our eight children as they grew up, filling the home with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Nestled in a semi-rural setting along the tranquil banks of the Ross River, our children spent countless magical hours exploring the riverbanks, camping on weekends, and discovering nature with friends.
We were lucky to share our days with the local wildlife—kookaburras, cockatoos, currawongs, and butterflies like the stunning Ulysses and green Cairns birdwing often visited our gardens.
A rare bonus is the full riparian rights, allowing us to pump directly from the river—ideal for gardens or hobby farming. Solar hot water and solar power have also helped reduce our electricity bills over the years.
This home has given us so much, and while it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, we know it’s time for a new family to fall in love with it and create memories of their own.
