Enter the park-like grounds and gardens of this 7.5 acre property through electric gates, off a gently winding bitumen country road. Listen to the silence and take in as much beauty as you can handle. Past the modernised 100 year old 'heritage-like' barn and stables, the private driveway leads to the undercover, tiled entrance and double front doors of this elegant and classical Haddonstone rendered 575 m2 residence of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The double garage is free standing and is in the same finish. A Feng Shui fish pond greets you at the front door which takes you into a spacious reception area leading to a magnificent open plan kitchen, dining room and living room. From here are views of the lily covered man made lake and the protective mountains in the distance. The reception floor is Travertine tiled and the sparkling chandelier takes centre stage. The kitchen is spacious; the long granite bench continues to the exterior barbecue area, there is a 6 burner Highland gas stove, 2 Bosch electric wall ovens, double sinks and insinkerator. The walk-around pantry and wine cellar are important features too. The residence has high ceilings, polished Jarrah timber floors and, uncommonly, 20 cm high moulded skirting boards. In the living area there is a book-cased wall and an open "fire" place. The floor to almost ceiling powder coated and screened bi-fold doors spread from one side of this arena to the other and the entire room can be quickly opened up to the Travertine tiled, undercover courtyard and entertaining and dining space. There is an 11 metre, wet edge salt water swimming pool that fits comfortably into the surrounding tiles and gardens. The ambiance of the grounds and the lake, together with amazing mountain views in the distance, make for perfection not often seen in this part of the world. The lake even has a little jetty that complements the picturesque view and is a resting place for the resident birds. Along the passageway to the left of the reception hall is a private sitting room and office, separated by a free-standing "library". The large laundry is in this section also. Plantation shutters and louvres give excellent views and air flow. The master bedroom, with its own private courtyard, is more than king size. Its spacious en suite bathroom is situated behind the bed head and there is a walk-in wardrobe and dressing room. The colours are neutral, but creamy rich; the gilt mirror above the double sinks, fits like a glove. It even has a "heated" towel rail.

The owners have recently installed a 5 KW solar system, so your power bills are affordable. This is a home for those who like to entertain friends and family on any chosen scale - and who are happy to have visiting guests stay overnight in a private "apartment" at the other end of the house. Turning right at the reception area along another corridor is a linen room, a theatre/music room, a general bathroom and three further bedrooms with one having a private en suite and dressing room and wardrobe. All the bedrooms are king size and have ceiling fans, plantation shutters with wonderful courtyard and garden views, down lights, built-in wardrobes, broadband/television connections and ducted air conditioning. At the end of the hallway is a full floor to ceiling glass wall, showing off a huge urn with water cascading to the stone garden below. At night, this is dramatically lit to attract even more attention! The features don't stop here; there is a private bathroom adjacent to the swimming pool, there is bore water, a 100,000 litre hidden underground tank, back to base security and marvellous vegetable and herb gardens, all of which have watering systems installed. The flora species of the property are too numerous to document for this purpose, suffice to say there are camellias, gardenias, jasmine, viburnums, gum trees, 2 unbelievably huge figs, palms and azaleas. Fruit trees include mandarins, oranges, lemons, limes, avocados, lychees, nectarines, mangoes, figs and kaffir limes, as well as pecan and macadamia nuts. Winner of 2 HIA Regional NSW Housing Awards in 2007, this stunning Bonville home proved a smash-hit with the judges who commented on the spectacular lake views from the north-facing verandah. Judges said the verandah, which runs the length of the home and overlooks the lake and swimming pool, flowed seamlessly from the internal living areas. Coupled with the extensive use of glass it provides superb ventilation, natural light and lake outlook.
