Katandra means 'song of the birds' and your heart will sing along with our feathered friends when you inspect this charming rural retreat that's set on 5 acres. Katandra offers the ultimate sea-change and tree-change with a 3 bedroom home that uniquely combines farmhouse feels with cottage style and it's all just moments from the seaside! There are paddocks for the ponies and there's plenty of space to play. You can add to the birdsong with a few hens and maybe just maybe you'll realise that hobby-farm dream of yours by adding a few fat lambs and a lazy old cow!
The home itself feels expansive and cosy all at once! Vaulted timber ceilings give a great sense of space while the Wentworth wood heater - complete with chimney and mantle - creates a sense of homeliness. The lounge room is generous and delivers a beautiful outlook over the back gardens and the paddocks beyond. The kitchen and dining area are beautifully proportioned and form the heart of the home. Katandra also offers three bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with tub and a good sized laundry.
A separate double lock-up shed offers a home for the car and the tinnie and it's kitted out with a nice little workshop space. There's also a garden shed, chicken coop and woodshed so you can really embrace your inner farmer! Operating on a septic system and on tank water, Katandra has two tanks capable of storing 20 000 gallons approx.
The land is flat, clear and well maintained. Horses and ponies will be delighted with the location! There's a distinct "house yard" with gardens that are well established and beautifully presented. There's a small orchard, pretty wisteria, thriving roses, prosperous camellias and many beloved native trees and shrubs, where you'll find the birdies singing their songs! Beyond the "house yard" there are fenced paddocks and yards, each of a generous size with shade and provision for water access.
Katandra's location is also worth mentioning. It's literally moments in to Tura Beach where you'll find a large shopping precinct, golf club, medical centre, Library and two popular garden nurseries. And it's just minutes in to Merimbula where you'll find cafes and clubs, beaches and boardwalks and of course more shops and services! Kalaru and Tathra are just up the road and Bega isn't far beyond. Locals will know the value of this prime location all the convenience of living in town, with all the joys of being out! These locations don't pop up that often!
Presenting perfectly as is, Katandra would make a lovely family home. The pets will fit right in and the kids will love the space to play. Semi-retirees are also going to want to take a peek it's level living and there's plenty of things to do when you have a little patch of paradise to care for. Those with a keen eye for renovation will see the scope for minimal changes that will deliver maximum returns, giving this classy, classic property some contemporary style.
Katandra is an opportunity to have the best of both worlds it's the tree and the sea the town and the country, it's cottage and it's coast. Katandra is sea breeze and of course, bird song.
