This property has price hopes of $620,000 and is described on the listing as “paradise in the outback”.
Five-bedrooms, intergenerational potential and a mountain outlook complete the picture.
“For those looking to enjoy life and live in style, this mansion can be split into two houses, with dual access to the top and bottom levels,” the listing, on the books of 4825 Realty explains.
“Perfect for living atop while renting out the bottom or for a family with teenage kids who want their own space downstairs.”
Agents say this mansion was built to impress and has done that with a prospective buyer. The sweeping estate is under offer, at a suburb-record price, according to the listing.
A bonus living arrangement is included, and all within walking distance of shops, in a verdant part of the suburb.
