An entertainers dream, sustainable, luxurious, executive residence, peaceful and heavenly - yet so close to wineries, Canberra, the snow and so much more.
'Riverdale' is an exceptional country estate just 35min from the ACT border and moments to Murrumbateman's renowned cool climate wine region. Aptly named for its sublime setting along the Yass River with sweeping vistas over the rich alluvial flats below this is a property which not only stuns with the ever changing sunsets painted each day across the horizon, but also the sheer scale and quality of finish on display in the bespoke residence.
A covered portico leads indoors to an expansive family room with glass stacking doors framing the green valley below. From here you get a sense of floating above the river flats and you can't help but be enticed out to the enormous alfresco deck area (200sqm approx in size) to appreciate the extraordinary outlook. Current owners Sergio and Kelly describe this space as their emotional escape room - a space to bring peace and a sense of calm no matter what the day has had in store. "It's an ever changing canvas" Kelly says, "a space which has had a profound impact on our family's happiness".
This sense of serenity is central to the design of the residence with expansive spaces accentuated by cool colours and clean lines. The main entertaining space is host to a five meter, 60mm Cesar stone island bench which makes a powerful statement as does the sleek wall of cabinetry with auto touch operated doors and inbuilt Miele pyrolytic oven, steam oven and combi oven. A second full size kitchen/butlers pantry will have the most fastidious chef in awe, allowing for seemless cooking and entertaining. A formal lounge and separate accoustically insulated home theatre provides ample space for the family to branch out and there won't be any squabbling over the bedrooms as they're all enormous. The main bedroom suite is particularly opulent with a feature stone bath positioned to maximise on the sunsets.
Outdoors you will find beautifully landscaped gardens and a big 4 bay machinery shed, chook shed, veggie gardens and a brilliant 12.5kw solar array. Heating and cooling is catered for with a ducted reverse cycle system and in the lounge a slow combustion fireplace. Being a newer build the house is fully insulated and windows are double glazed. Smaller touches that have a big impact on daily life include the heated drying room perfect for drying clothes over winter, a solar powered gate to enter the property and automatic garage door and internal entry.
Riverdale is a property which will cater to those seeking all the mod cons and the lifestyle benefits of rural living with all the hard work already done. This give you more time to take the kids for a fish in the river, a horse ride across the scenic 129acres, catch a sunset in the 6 person spa or relax with friends by the newly constructed fire pit. It's unusual to find property which ticks every box and even more unusual to find property suited to grazing cattle with good water and riparian rights to pump from the river (for water stock and gardens).
