The leafy, unsealed track leading to this property immediately announces its seclusion and matches the riotous nature of the gardens that surround the three-bedroom house on about 0.4 hectares.
Every inch of the land is densely planted with a mix of exotics, fruit trees, shrubs and ground covers — clearly a gardener’s labour of love that eschews any adherence to landscaping “laws”.
A paddock next to the house, also a jungle of plants, highlights the development potential of the property, subject to council approval.
But should someone be looking for the simple life, with chook pen, glasshouse, and leafy nooks in which to retreat, this could be the one.
The house is pretty basic but perfectly habitable; with the right styling, it could be as cute as a button.
Entry is beneath an open pergola to a carpeted hallway. A glass sliding door at the right opens to a lounge room with corner windows framing the lush greenery.
The nearby kitchen has a walk-in pantry, gas cooker and a big, wide window behind the sink revealing pretty views of the back garden.
A good-sized lobby at the back door houses the laundry, with a bathroom next door.
Each bedroom has built-in wardrobes.
A brick-paved area in the backyard, a couple of steps down from the deck, is nearly enclosed by the leafiness of ornamentals, ground covers and a peach tree.
Bougainvillea spills over a support, splashing its colour amid the greenery and, down a meandering walkway, there’s a small pond. There’s also an irrigation system.
If an almost hippie vibe appeals, or if land for development is where it’s all at, this property could be just the ticket.
