On five-acres of arable land, this seven-year-old, architecturally stunning home is the very definition of luxurious rural retreat. Designed around eco-friendly principles, the home is based on a crucifix plan, which provides maximum ventilation and natural light. Ceilings soar five metres high, and walls have been designed to accommodate an extensive art collection. The open-plan living area flows through to an alfresco terrace, which overlooks the pool and olive grove.

The home is finished in exquisite detail - a stunning Oblicia fireplace takes centre stage in the living room, sculptures replace walls, and crocodile skin is used as a wall covering. A custom-built library has curved walls and a built-in ladder. Other features include five generous bedrooms, including master suite, ample storage, a home theatre, a five-car garage with internal access, and air-conditioning.

The property's three-year-old olive grove is already producing more than 500 kg per annum. Hidden by trees at the back of the property is an income-producing, one-bedroom apartment, and storage or work shed. The home is situated at the end of a quiet lane, but is only moments to schools, the bus, and shopping centres.

The property is for sale by private treaty, and is open to offers of more than $3.8 million.
