Luxurious Privacy With Views & 15 Minutes from Bellingen .....
"Glenrobert", a Charles Rose designed, contemporary residence on 120 riverfront acres, overlooks the mountains and river on one side and its own rainforest on the other. The property, including cattle yards is well fenced and holds 40 head of breeding cattle.
In the summer months the private swimming holes at the river are a welcome relief! Beautiful and cleverly landscaped gardens, lawns and terraces surround the house.
The entrance to this stylish, modern,north facing 4 bedroom (or 3 bedrooms and a spacious office or drafting studio) property is a terracotta tiled reception area. Through double doors and past louvred windows to the left is the guest quarters comprising 2 queen size bedrooms (both open onto brick terraces), a shower room and a separate toilet. There is ample passageway linen storage.
To the right of the reception area is a spacious, open plan living room, a dining and entertaining area and a state of the art kitchen. The use of local hardwoods, glass, terracotta tiling throughout and glass louvres and skylights fill the house with natural light and yet it remains cool with free air flow. Every room features ceiling fans.
The kitchen has plenty of storage space, a gas stove top, sinks on either side of the kitchen, a breakfast and "prep" island and double doors opening onto al fresco dining, barbeque and entertaining terraces leading to the gardens. Off the kitchen is the perfect laundry and ironing room. The living room has full floor to ceiling glass walls overlooking the rolling pasture lands and spectacular mountains in the distance.
Double doors open to yet another brick terrace, lawns and gardens. Off this large, central living space and up a couple of stairs is the stunning master bedroom. With its all white, private, spacious shower bathroom and toilet and walk through wardrobes, it is both elegant and luxurious - but simply beautiful. On this level is the office and this, too, has its own veranda and views.
"Glenrobert" is just secluded enough. It is a house for living; for cooking and entertaining - and a small business can easily be conducted from the property.
Other features include the glorious chef's vegetable and herb garden, a good variety of citrus trees, a large slow combustion wood heater for the couple of cold months of winter, two vehicle double lock-up garage and workshop, the use of local hardwood, the truly Australian outdoor clothes line, the gravity fed and tank water supply, tractor and machinery sheds situated away from the main house - AND 500 metres of river frontage to the magnificent Bellinger River - and these are just a start.
This property has it all .....
