SPRAWLING COUNTRY HOMESTEAD ON 40 ACRES PERFECT FOR ENTERTAINING
There are a few key factors that most people are looking for in a lifestyle property, amongst the most important are a spacious home, an expansive entertaining area, ample shedding, beautiful views, wide open spaces, the kind of privacy that is reserved exclusively for acreage properties and the wonderful peace and quiet.
This exceptional property has it all, and more. You will need to visit, to fully comprehend just how spacious the residence is, and the quality with which it is finished. The supreme functionality of design will continue to impress you at every turn, it is extensively landscaped, has four main paddocks with water provision for livestock, and if shedding is a deciding factor, all your boxed will be ticked.
As you arrive from a quiet country lane, down a long driveway, as the home is set well back from the road, the first thing you will notice is the beautiful open views, the next thing, upon entry, is the size and elegance of the home. A large wall niche provides a safe space for even the biggest of televisions. Its timber shelf matches the mantelpiece of the adjoining brick fireplace, with an inset solid fuel heater for a beautiful ambience. Together they create a gorgeous room partition. The reverse cycle split system ensures year round comfort, and the step-in storage closet is very handy.
The kitchen has been superbly designed with white shaker style cabinetry, an abundance of soft close drawers, a large fridge space, stainless steel Miele appliances including a five burner gas cooktop and an electric wall oven over a separate grill. The dining area extends, through a wall of glass, to an enormous entertaining zone with a cast-iron built-in pizza oven upon a matching wood box.
It epitomizes the ultimate in indoor / outdoor living opening directly onto the bullnose verandah which encompasses the home and provides a transitional space from the home to the solar heated pool, or the fire pit ideally situated to take in the sweeping views allowing you to bask in spectacular sunsets that light up the sky and landscape with a beautiful golden glow.
All five bedrooms are large with ceiling fans and built-in robes. Two are at one end of the home, these are serviced by a pristine three piece bathroom. At the other end of the home the master suite is also set apart, and incorporates a walk-in robe and three piece ensuite.
There are several options for undercover parking. Firstly an oversized triple carport is connected to the home, it is perfect for large 4wd's and has a roller door on one bay, which currently houses a caravan. Tradies will love this. Also a three bay garage would be ideal for a car enthusiast, it has two roller doors, and the end bay serves as a workshop. Under the same roof line at the other end is a fully lined room with a freestanding wood fire, this versatile space could be a studio, office, teenagers retreat, man cave, hobby room or really anything you wish.
Tucked away discreetly behind this is a highly useful machinery shed with three tandem bays and one single. There is also an animal enclosure which is currently used for the dog but could be put to use as a chicken coop, or perhaps rejigged into stables for a small horse. Another noteworthy attribute is raised vegetable beds.
The property is suitable for all forms of livestock including horses, cattle and sheep. Tree lined boundaries provided a sense of privacy and shelter for stock. It is divided into 3 main grazing paddocks, the house yard and 4 smaller paddocks, the fencing is quite good. There are 5 dams, plus in excess of 120,000 litres of tank water storage for domestic use. Another significant water feature, not currently in use, is a bore. It has been sunken to a depth of 100m and has a desalination plant. With a little bit of ingenuity, the new owners could potentially replace the submersible pump to reinstate it and have an excellent water asset.
For day to day living it is handy to Strathfieldsaye or Heathcote in around 20 minutes. For work, a peaceful 30 minute drive sees you in Bendigo, and for those who frequent the city, its an easy 90 minute commute.
