Set behind an avenue of majestic gums, Twin Creeks reveals itself slowly. The gravel drive curves past timber-railed paddocks before opening onto a property shaped entirely by one vision, where two creeks were coaxed into a shared course and wetlands were built to draw the land back to life.

Established trees now stand throughout the property, and the wetlands they shelter have become home to swans, herons, egrets and dozens of other species. Bush tracks wind through it all, inviting exploration, and opening onto tranquil outlooks over the water at every turn, with endless spots to pause and take in the surroundings and the birdlife that call this special place home.

At the water's edge, a rustic fishing hut sits proudly. A relic of long afternoons spent fishing and a source of artistic inspiration, it's a place to stop and take in the vision that existed long before any of this was created.

Several fenced paddocks sit toward the front of the property, offering options for animals or well-oriented ground for future plantings. A further paddock at the rear takes in an outlook in two directions, over the tranquil wetlands on one side and rolling hills and vineyards on the other.

The two-storey timber residence looks out over the wetlands, with its raked timber ceilings and exposed beams providing a charm to match the surrounds. The home was designed around the central wood fire, its thermal mass providing warmth to the entire home through the cooler months. Two bedrooms and a study sit alongside two bathrooms, while the open living and dining areas connect through to a screened outdoor room, ideal for entertaining or a convenient kitchen garden.

A separate one-bedroom cottage offers flexibility for guests or family, tucked among the trees with its own outlook. Sheds and storage buildings throughout the property add further flexibility, suiting everything from hobbies and machinery to horses or a workshop.

Twin Creeks is not a property to take in at a glance. It reveals itself slowly, offering more with every moment spent here, just as it was first envisioned many years ago.
