A Biggs Flat home offers a tranquil escape from working life and has the potential to also be used for a range of commercial opportunities, vendors John and Liz Girke say.
The Girkes bought the home ‘Glenfield’ 13 years ago and have since renovated it, transforming it into a grand family entertainer.

“We lived in the city and had two young kids and wanted to give them a good lifestyle, and when this one came on the market we fell in love with it immediately,” Mr Girke says.
“It’s only 25 minutes to the city and we have some great towns, communities and facilities all around us.
“It’s built around a central atrium that we fitted a vergola roof to, and it’s beautiful because it lets in so much natural light, and the breezes through it are beautiful too.
“It gives you a perfect indoor/outdoor entertainment area.”
“It’s the perfect retreat for anybody that wants to have fresh air and have an abundant lifestyle for their children.”
The home features five bedrooms and a study, two bathrooms and quality fixtures and fittings throughout.
Outside, the home sits on a 36.2ha allotment and has seven dams, 14 paddocks, a bore, eight stables, equestrian facilities, cattle yards, a 15m x 24.4m shed, and more.
“The home’s got a real wow factor to it because you go up a liquidambar-lined drive and the house does sit majestically on the property and it really is a statement,” Mr Girke says.
“We’ll be sad to leave here because we’ve really turned this house into a home.
“But it’s time for another family to love it like we have, or set up a great business here.”
