Burnlea - Peaceful Country Estate

And a river runs through it with the crystal clear fresh water stream meandering through the garden and graced by elusive trout. You will enjoy the diversification here where you can run friendly stock on the paddocks, pick from the citrus trees, grow vegetables, tender the garden and appreciate living amongst mature trees and the established setting of Burnlea

The three bedroom plus office homestead has two bathrooms including the ensuite in the extraordinarily large master bedroom. The expansive kitchen with its hefty ranch style stove, modern appliances and cooking facilities is open plan with the dining, living area and French doors opening from the north and eastern sides to outdoor decks overlooking the garden. The formal lounge also with French doors opens out to another sunny north facing patio enjoying vistas over the lawn and the stream.

Meandering in the driveway to this property is a treat in itself, as you turn off O'Dwyers Road you drive through the mystic tunnel of century old Macrocarpa trees, then along the stream on one side and vineyard on the other, to cross a cute wooden bridge and wind through the mature trees to the homestead.

Originally the homestead and surrounding buildings was the station for was once a large grazing and cropping farm in this area, and it is still graced with all the original and rustic sheds and buildings. You can imagine wedding parties now days getting their portraits taking in the presence of the old woolshed and when you walk in to the stables you can just imagine and smell the horses that once fed and rested in the stalls with timbers worn smooth by their necks. Other buildings have since been built with a three bay shed complete with a newer shearing shed, chook house, large 6 bay implement / hay shed, double garage with large workshop and other various enclosures handy for keeping vehicles and machinery out of the sun and weather.

Being on a total area of 2.8190 hectares (6.96 acres) the owners have a reached a point where a change in lifestyle beckons, Burnlea is genuinely offered to the market for sale.
