Murrumbateman NSW 2582

Picture perfect visions of a traditional Australian country property often include a stone home ideally set over spreading lawns and tucked into rows of majestic trees.

Located just 25 minutes from Canberra's northern areas, this stunning family property has all the benefits associated with Murrumbateman's embracing lifestyle and more. This evocative 348m2 South Australian limestone residence is wrapped in verandahs, infused with character and equipped with every modern era lifestyle need. The home has either 3 or 4 bedrooms depending on how you'd prefer to interpret it, including a fully segregated master suite with an upgraded ensuite, WiR and sliding door access to the verandahs and gardens. The secondary bedrooms share a separate section of the home that can be closed off. Country in style, the fully equipped kitchen's stacked features include stone bench tops, soft close cabinetry, glass splashbacks, a double oven, family breakfast bar and plenty of storage space. It also comes with the heady wafting aroma of baked biscuits and cakes, but you'll need to come up with your own versions of these after you move in. Open plan living areas can be a composite part of any country home, and this one orbits around an eye-catching central double-sided Cheminees Phillipe fireplace in a sandstone setting. This large living area includes the lounge room with its immediate access to the garden alfresco and a separate dining area that effectively doubles as a family room and parents' retreat. The space's country themes include earthy Romandie hardwood floors, high ceilings and tons of natural light cascading through the north facing picture doors and windows. Adjacent to the living area there's a room that is currently in use as a work from home office with a wall of glass windows and doors overlooking the lawns to the dam. This room could be used as the home's 4th bedroom, home gym or rumpus room. Close to the home there's a matching limestone double garage with an integrated work studio with amenities if you have art/craft interests, or need a separate work from home office. The 6.7ac block is completely enveloped in mature evergreen tree lines that provide an unparalleled element of privacy and seclusion. It's an enclave of harmony and peace. For those of you that have appreciated the delights of strolling through a European park you will adore this property. Along with rolling lawns, the block has an English rose garden, bird-packed pathways through overarching trees, a seemingly endless array of ornamental and fruit production trees and a big dam. There's a lifetime's value of established trees and gardens that are already prepared for you. Essentially, this is a one-of-a-kind property with an undeniable compelling charm.
