Lee Settle

Lee loves to entertain – not the singing and dancing-type – the cooking a great BBQ for family and friends type of entertaining. He’s also focussed on work-life balance – working hard and staying fit while enjoying plenty of the fruits of Coonawarra and elsewhere.

Workwise, a natural affinity with numbers, and the satisfaction of seeing those numbers in the built form, charted a natural path into property.
