This very special lifestyle property offers character, space and wonderful country living.
From the moment you walk in the door you will appreciate the size of the lounge with its stained-glass windows, T&G ceilings, Osborne log fire and French doors to the deck.
The kitchen and dining room are also full of warmth and charm, featuring Oregon benchtops crafted from timber sourced from the property, a large pantry and natural wood cupboards and drawers. There is a large electric oven with five gas hobs, a dishwasher and the wonderful Stanley coal range for cooking, heating and with wetback to the hot water cylinder.
As you move through to the hall you will find natural wood floors and a fabulous front door with two stained glass windows and clear glass to let the morning sun light up the hall. The three double bedrooms have sash windows, two of the rooms are extremely generous and the third bedroom has a feature fireplace for additional charm. The fantastic living spaces provide plenty of room to relax and entertain, but step outside and you have a wonderful deck and outdoor dining areas to make the most of the gardens and lifestyle setting.
Outside is where this property really comes into its own. Here you will find terraced gardens with shingled pathways, a little bridge, composted veggie gardens and an assortment of fruit trees including pears, apples, plums, nectarine, feijoa, along with raspberries, red and black currant bushes and an Italian herb garden. These gardens provide an abundance of produce for the home and enhance the setting.
The property is 8,019sqm with a paddock for some animals. There is a walnut grove at the end of the property and mature pine trees for firewood.
For those needing space for projects, hobbies or machinery, the range of outbuildings is surprising. There is an old woolshed which provides good dry storage, an old shearing shed (needs work), three-bay hay barn in the paddock, and a three-bay shed with power for vehicles or other storage. A lean-to roof off the back side of this shed creates the garden/tool shed and wood storage. The pump shed is at the end of the shed, it pumps water from the creek across the road through a double filter and UV filter to the water tank on site. A propagation shed sits above the garden and is perfect for getting seedlings under way for the gardens.
As you can see, this is far more than just a property — it’s a home where gardens have been developed and nurtured. It has fantastic outdoor living for a family and an array of useful buildings rarely found in one place. It is a very appealing property packed with personality and practical features, creating a truly inviting place to call home.
