Property details

Listing # LN123816 | Listed on 5 November

Easy drive 20mins to Palmy

Over the town hype? Need somewhere you can spread out, park the truck, run your business, work from home and still enjoy a beautiful place to live?

This could be exactly what you've been looking for.

A completely modernised country home with exceptional views, huge decks, serious workshop and storage space, expansive concrete areas and enough room for the kids, the vehicles, the tools and the weekend BBQs.

All the advantages of lifestyle living, without having to commit to buying the dream.

THE HOUSE _ Recently renovated throughout, this is a character home with modern comfort and plenty of personality. Two great sized sun filled bedrooms and a huge, light-filled lounge. Modern kitchen, new décor and beautifully refreshed interiors. Double-glazed joinery and insulated, new carpet, flooring, Two wood fires, including a wetback system for hot water. Expansive decks, covered verandahs and exceptional rural views. Big sliding doors connecting the living spaces with the outdoors. All-day sun and space. Outdoor bar and BBQ area, ready for entertaining

Everything has been designed to be warm, comfortable, practical and economical. There's room to entertain, room to relax and plenty of space for kids to get outside and enjoy themselves.

THE SHEDS — this is where it gets interesting - If you've got a trade, a business, a serious hobby or simply more gear than the average suburban garage can handle, you'll appreciate what's on offer.

Shed One — The ultimate work-and-play space - A substantial enclosed, insulated and double-glazed space, with a massive workbench, coffee area, heater and even a projector screen for watching the sport. Roll back the garage carpet and you've got a concrete workshop floor. Leave it down and it's warm and comfortable underfoot.

There's also approximately 77m² of adjacent concrete space.

An attached office/studio gives you even more flexibility. Set it up as a home office, meeting room, project space or somewhere to retreat and get things done.

Shed Two — The workshop - A separate workshop for your tools, equipment and projects, with room to organise a proper working setup.

Shed Three — Three-bay implement shed - Open to the driveway and easily accessible for larger vehicles.

Ideal for parking vehicles, storing materials, equipment, firewood or all the things that never seem to fit in a suburban garage.

ROOM TO MOVE - One of the real attractions here is the practical outdoor space. There's extensive concrete hardstanding, a massive parking area and excellent access for trucks, vehicles and deliveries, including turnaround space.

No more shuffling vehicles around or trying to squeeze everything into a standard driveway.

And when work is finished? Fire up the BBQ, invite your mates over, enjoy the views and let the kids hoon around on their bikes.

THE LIFESTYLE — This property would particularly suit someone who appreciates country living but still needs to earn a living. A tradie, contractor, self-employed professional, keen hunter, outdoors enthusiast or family looking for room to grow.

You might not be ready to buy your own lifestyle block just yet. Or perhaps you're tired of paying for a suburban house that simply doesn't accommodate the way you live.

For the self-employed, there's another advantage - with a dedicated office, workshop and storage space alongside your home, there may be opportunities to allocate a portion of your rental and operating costs to your business, subject to your accountant's advice. And with your workspace right outside the door, you could save on commuting time and costs too.

The tenancy includes the beautifully renovated home, two sheds, a separate workshop, established orchard, raised vegetable gardens and generous lawns and gardens — all set within approximately 1.5 acres.

The property boundaries are clearly defined by fencing, providing a generous and private space to make your own.

The surrounding acreage is intended to be leased separately, although we're open to discussing alternative arrangements with the right tenant.

We're happy to discuss rental and property upkeep arrangements with the right tenant. Above all, we're looking for someone who will make this property their home — someone who appreciates the space, the lifestyle and the opportunities it offers, and who will enjoy it - it's a special place, and we'd love to see the right people make it their own.
