A short and pleasant drive from Uriarra Crossing leads to this breath-taking hideaway. Boasting approximately 10.49 hectares of productive land, the gorgeous cottage is nestled into the hillside. Built of local stone and classic feature bricks, together with the warmth and character of timber detailing, this home beckons! Peaceful and quiet surroundings impart calmness - perfect for those seeking a getaway from the city and a new, less hectic lifestyle!
The home is surrounded by landscaped and mature cottage gardens; beautiful plantings include lavender, iris, agapanthus and over 40 roses of various colours and varieties plus a vegetable patch. The rich, verdant green of the tall pine trees makes an immediate impression and gum trees provide the natural bush theme. Wander amongst the enticing and meandering garden paths; there are more discoveries with each turn.
The broad, wrap around timber verandah welcomes upon arrival at the home, and stylish cedar windows and doors lead out from all living areas and bedrooms, creating a natural link between the inside to the outdoors.
The floorcoverings are a mix of carpet and richly polished slate and each of the bedrooms are a good size and offer wardrobe space. The outlook from the bathroom is particularly scenic and there is a separate laundry or mud room.
The large, attractive timber kitchen is adjacent to the open plan family and meals area where one can image a huge dining table as the central hub for gatherings with family and friends. There is a separate living room with slow combustion fire-place, just the thing for cosy winters.
With a distinctive European flavour, and reminiscent of a ski lodge, the warmth and character of this charming home is hard to replicate as even the ceilings are lined with pine.
Sit on the deck and while away the hours, either with a good book or enjoy the local kangaroos and birdlife.
Walk to the top of the hill to immerse yourself in the magnificent views to Black Mountain Tower and parts of Canberra while heading down, Tinkers Brook Creek flows at the base of the block and there is also a small swimming hole.
Ample car accommodation is provided in the double garage and water is readily available from the two tanks.
Come back to nature and explore this special home among the gum trees.
