A separate media room down the hall is perfect for cosy movie nights and the converted garage and adjoining room, offer an extra TV area and a pool table, for a great spot for teenagers to hang out for their own downtime.

Outside, this home really starts to sparkle. A large open fireplace, flanked by a BBQ and pizza oven line one side with a lounge area and dining table making up the outdoor entertainment pit - we're picturing an evening next to the fireplace, a glass of local pinot in hand, as you enjoy a BBQ with the family. A seasonally heated swimming pool (warm months only) is perfect for adults and children alike, and the spa pool offers a relaxing spot to retreat to at the end of the day. Beautifully manicured gardens offer a spacious play area for children to burn off some energy in the fresh mountain air, and an oasis of greenery.
