Tropical lifestyle retreat

If you've been looking for a tranquil sanctuary then "Taradise" is your piece of paradise on the Tara.

With a restful, verdant outlook this inviting north facing home welcomes you in. The kitchen with breakfast bar makes mornings easy and for those more formal meals there's a separate dining room. Flowing through to the lounge the bush views are relaxing after a busy day, there's a woodburner for winter nights, and the home opens out on three aspects for outdoor enjoyment.

This thoughtful design creates family harmony with the two family/guest bedrooms and family bathroom set to one end of the home and the master suite to the other. The master bedroom opens out through to the conservatory, perfect for a relax breakfast. This is definitely the piece de resistance with drop downs and sun blinds letting you enjoy all year round. Whether a long lunch, convivial drinks, dining with friends or just kicking back with a good book, you will find it the most popular place in the home. Decking front and rear offers shade and sun as desired and after a day in the garden or on the water the spa is the place to be. Privacy is such swimsuits are optional whether in the spa or using an outdoor shower.

An additional bonus to this property is the cabin - think at home office, gym, hobbies, art studio or maybe a teenage getaway.

With just over one hectare there's plenty to enjoy with swathes of lawn, native bush, ponds and orchard with around 25 trees. There is also three garden sheds and a greenhouse so lovers of flora and fauna will love it here.

And it's just a short drive to the village for additional fresh produce, great coffee, a walk along the estuary and a range of cafes and takeout options.

Owners are downsizing and ready to make the move - here is your chance for that country coastal lifestyle. Make time to view.
