Positioned on a sealed road with direct access to the M1 Freeway only minutes away, this picturesque and serene rural haven will delight and impress from the first look. Secluded amongst sweeps of lawn, established gardens, and majestic shade trees alive with the sound of abundant birdlife and local wildlife, discover two character-filled homes, one remote from the other and each offering their own very individual attributes. The property immediately lends itself to use as a dual-generation family property, a home-based business opportunity, or indeed, an exclusive short-stay B&B retreat.
The first home is a striking A-Framed chalet style residence highlighted by an expansive glazed front elevation and secluded amongst mature, shaded gardens, a spring-fed creek, and beautiful, restful water features fringed with Papyrus reeds and graceful water lilies; and accentuated by shade trees and sweeps of rolling lawns. The residence exudes tremendous character and warmth with a very Country Style theme from the extensive use of timber and slate finishes. Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two living areas, including a mezzanine retreat with views across the property, and a very spacious informal living/dining and kitchen. There are two outdoor living areas -a broad timber sundeck at the front of the residence, and a breathtaking, private courtyard featuring several restful nooks for quiet time, or party time in the fabulous lagoon-style inground solar heated swimming pool, with a broad backdrop of verdant plantings for the feeling of an exclusive resort.
The second residence, accessed by a long tree-fringed driveway is sited on a ridge offering panoramic uninterrupted local rural views and onto the might of the famed Eastern Ranges. The beautifully appointed weatherboard residence offers views from almost every window, with light-filled living areas showcasing the polished Spotted Gum floors. A well-planned antique white kitchen features excellent cupboard/ bench space and quality appliances. There are three generously proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, and French doors accessing to two very spacious timber-decked outdoor living areas to the front and rear of the home. A complex of utility rooms provides a workshop and space for the storage of gardening equipment.
The land, comprising gently undulating and cleared pastures, offers 10 equine fenced paddocks with reticulated water - suitable for any choice of livestock and currently running horses and cattle. Excellent shedding includes two large, steel sheds within a large curtilage - one 17m x 8m and the other 17m x 7m, and a further 10mx7m steel shed at the rear of the chalet. There are also stockyards and load race, plus a 30m sand-topped round yard enclosed by quality perimeter equine-friendly fencing. For the gardening enthusiast, there are extensive vegetable gardens and an orchard of fruit trees.
In essence, this is an enviable rural lifestyle retreat with the added bonus of mains water and sealed road frontage, located within a highly regarded enclave and with easy access to major shopping and service hubs, schools, sporting facilities, and public transport. Inspect with absolute confidence.
