About this property

A stunning, individual contemporary home designed by an award winning architect located in a private and sylvan setting.

Lane Top is an exceptional contemporary modern home, sitting in secluded grounds of just over an acre. The house is set back from a quiet country lane with views over paddocks to the rear.
