1 Rikkara Place

Murrumbateman NSW 2582

Designed to capture the embracing northern sunshine on one side and the sweeping hinterland views on the other, the home's layout also provides a beautiful balance between open-plan flow and segregated privacy.

The feature window vista from the lounge room is superb and the brilliantly lit family north-facing family areas and alfresco patio add a marvellous dimension to the home.

One feature is just how easy it could be to fold some of the triple garage space into the home's living area. Quite adaptable as a 5th bedroom, rumpus or home theatre it would still leave ample room for two cars.

Other pliable features include bedroom #3 access to the main bathroom for guests/older kids and the oversized bedroom #2 which would make an ideal kid's bunk room, large office or library.

Six acre blocks are a very rare item and Ferndale's is a beauty. Nicely elevated with spaced level areas for a future swimming pool and tennis court the block is bordered and punctuated by mature trees effectively providing both shelter and seclusion.

Location wise, Ferndale shares a cul-de-sac with just two other fine properties and is on the shorter commute Canberra side of Murrumbateman.

Essentially, Ferndale is a quality property suitable for a couple or growing family group. Whilst it's a property of many existing attributes, there's ample space to add much more.
