LOCATED: Wake to the call of Kookaburras coming through the French doors of your bedroom, on this picturesque farm just outside of Bathurst ... easy access and yet your own private paradise. Aranda' is located approx 10 mins drive from the edge of Bathurst (23 km from the centre of town) all by good sealed road. Bathurst is a major regional city in NSW with a population of approx 37,000 offering all major services and located approx 2 hours west of Sydney.
ARANDA: Although only ten minutes out of town, Aranda' is a secluded haven with double frontage to the permanent water of the lovely and reliable Winburndale Rivulet.
The house is a large, brick, 4-bedroom light filled country home with a big open living area and French doors in all rooms, which open on to the established garden. The cool verandah, which surrounds the house, provides a pleasant spot for a cuppa any time of the year and overlooks the tree-lined driveway and the raised bed vegetable garden.
The house has central heating coming from the wood stove in the kitchen and circulating to radiators around the house. There is also a jetmaster fireplace, reverse cycle air conditioning as well as a ducted heat transfer system. A 5 kwt back to the grid solar system ensures power bills are not a concern.
There are new carpets throughout the house, a carport and teenage retreat or extra bedroom on the end of the house.
Near the house are two well set up workshops, one currently operates as a pottery studio with gallery and kiln room, the other as a metal workshop this one has a large truck bay attached. Both have electricity and gas connected, fans and wood heaters. All up 8 cars can be comfortably parked under cover.
Then the river, the magical heart of Aranda, the Winburndale Rivulet winds through the property providing total privacy and lovely campsites with its double frontage for over 1 km. The current owners enjoy a permanent campsite on the river and spend most of their leisure time there swimming and fishing and entertaining, there are even platypuses living there. A concrete ford makes for easy access as do the extensive tracks throughout the property.
Water is a big feature with huge household water storage with its own treatment system, a dam next to the house with an irrigation and fire fighting system to the garden. A brand new automatic system pumps water from the river to the garden, which has a full irrigation system including the many ornamental, and fruit trees outside the house yard. There is also a cool room, chook house and dog yard in the immediate homestead area.
The country on Aranda is largely cleared, clean of weeds and very private with the neighbours having larger properties. It includes a hill with great views, the river, a permanent spring fed creek and good native pasture with clovers plus some improved pastures in the front paddock. The current owners run breeding ewes, selling off the lambs plus fatten the odd steer. There are cattle and sheep yards for the domestic animals that share the land with echidnas, platypus, kangaroos, owls and many native birds.
The Bathurst school bus goes past the gate and the local school is the highly thought of Eglinton Primary.
