58 Butts Rd, Murrumbateman is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1900. The property has a land size of 161900m2 and floor size of 199m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in September 2003.
Located just 7.3km from Murrumbateman village and within an easy commute of Canberra, Willowgrove first began life around c.1855. Typical of many of the original working properties in the area, Willowgrove's homestead has been added to over the passing years without forfeiting its linkages with the past.
With around 306m2 under roof, the homestead provides plenty of room for a larger family and a modern floor plan that skilfully incorporates elements of its pioneering roots.
The fully equipped kitchen with its views over the property's southern paddocks provides you with all you need to cook-up a fabulous Sunday roast, or a cake or two. There's a 14.5m2 pantry room to store your goodies, preserves and eggs.
The home's lifestyle heart is the main living area that includes the kitchen, living/family meals area and the adjoining home office and dining rooms. This inviting gathering space features a bank of light-capturing north-facing windows, glass sliding doors out to the terrace and a foot warming wood burning fireplace for family gatherings.
There are currently 3 bedrooms, but the original pioneer-era sitting room could be used as a 4th bedroom. All of the bedrooms have robes, with the master having its own WIR/Dressing room. The bedrooms are located next to the home's main bathroom which has a bathtub for young kids, and a shower. There's a 2nd shower and toilet room located in the home's laundry for visiting guests.
In addition to the internal space there's over 63m2 of covered verandah/alfresco area for outside entertaining and firing up the BBQ. The verandahs provide the perfect spot to just sip a coffee and really appreciate the immersive tranquillity of Willowgrove's mellow location.
Along with its residential qualities, the Willowgrove house block carries 3 large sheds that house multiple sets of stables, tack room and garage spaces.
Willowgrove's fabulous undulating 95% cleared 40ac block is ideal for horses, cattle, sheep and alpacas. There's an excellent elevated spot just 100m from the current home that provides a 360deg view that's ideal for a 2nd dwelling site (SCA).
The property's brilliant paddock water supply consists of 3 dams, plus frontages on 2 creeks, and the larger rear dam is mentioned as spring fed.
Essentially, whilst Willowgrove is a property of subtle residential influences, it provides an amazing array of rural lifestyle dynamics via its larger cleared block, good water supply and existing infrastructure.
