	Bernside is an outstanding two-storey house that offers ample space and comfort for larger family groups. Magnificent views over the Delatite valley can be admired from the large windows of the lounge/dining area upstairs and both the upper and lower decks. Positioned on 150 acres of beautiful farmland just 12 km from Mansfield township, it has year-round appeal. Pick your favourite season and you will surely find plenty to make your stay an absolute pleasure.

Property Description:
The contemporary, multi-level house commands an elevated position on this large rural property. A scattering of deciduous trees and low stone walls around the house soften the modern lines and angles of the building. The natural colours of the external building surfaces, including more stonework on the lower level walls, fit comfortably with the landscape.

There are two bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet on each of the two levels. The main open plan living space is upstairs, with a lounge area, a modern farm-style kitchen, and a dining area that is effectively surrounded on three sides by windows that reveal the enveloping, rural panorama. The top deck sits alongside this area, where barbecue and outdoor dining furniture invite eating 'al fresco' in the warmer weather. While inside, a Coonara wood fire combats chilly weather along with the comfort of carpet underfoot.

Another large living room is located downstairs. It has a huge open fire place with a stone hearth and chimney. A group of lounges is arranged around the fire and television. To the side is a separate sitting area perfect for 'board games'. A sliding glass door opens onto a low timber deck, with a steel pergola, that extends around to the parking area.

The house is tastefully furnished in a casual style, with robust timber furniture and plenty of comfortable arm chairs and couches.

Special Features:
Walking around the property you will see cattle, horses, kangaroos, lots of birdlife and beautiful hills.
The Delatite River - not 5 minutes away - offers swimming, trout fishing and invigorating walks.
There are wineries nearby and Gough's Bay is about a 10-minute drive, has a general store and petrol station.
