If you dream of space…space for the kids to run, space for a menagerie of animals or space to just breathe…you can stop dreaming. If you want a home of grand proportions to renovate in your own style, that perhaps sits by the side of a meandering stream straddled by weeping willows and gums…you need want no more.
