Last Listing description (August 2022)
Sometimes a real estate opportunity that is so rare and coveted comes along that you almost have to pinch yourself to make sure it's real. This is definitely one of those times! Positioned just far enough away from suburbia to feel as though you're away from it all, while remaining conveniently close to everything, lays a property offering the alluring combination of position, privacy and potential.
The Lifestyle
Finding a 40 acre block a mere stone's throw from suburbia is no mean feat, but we've managed it! Perched on a gloriously private block, this charming and spacious, dual level family home offers riverfront excellence at its finest. Enter via a grand tree-lined double driveway, where double doors beckon, giving you a taste of what's to come.
Air-conditioned throughout, the lower level of this exceptional floorplan centers around the Hampton's-style kitchen and adjoining dining room, where no expense has been spared on top-of-the-line Smeg appliances including dishwasher and a Belling Richmond Deluxe 900mm double oven and stove, complemented by a double Farmhouse sink, plantation shutters and walk-in pantry - the combination of the modern appliances and chic farmhouse touches straddling the line of the old and new in the most desirable way.
Perfect for entertaining, the generous lounge and built-in bar offer the perfect backdrop for relaxed enjoyment, with the added bonus of cabinets and a wall-mounted TV included! The indoor entertainment spaces flow seamlessly out to an expansive, enclosed entertainment area running the full 14m width of the home, with vaulted ceilings and lush ferns transporting you to another era.
A substantial rumpus room offers the ultimate flexibility of a second living zone, or the ideal set up for a home business with a separate entrance. The downstairs quarters are complete with a study, bathroom and separate laundry offering ample storage and bench space.
Upstairs you are completely secure, with a safe room door guarding the upstairs quarters. Four air-conditioned, double-sized bedrooms line the hallway, with the master bedroom offering the convenience of a walk-through robe and ensuite and the three additional bedrooms serviced by the sparkling main bathroom.
Enhancing this already enticing equation, you can relax safe in the knowledge that your new home is protected with a Back to Base Security System, complete with 6 cameras and automatic security flood lighting and a secure double garage.
The Location
The location could not be more perfect for families, with the prestigious Canterbury College, local shopping and eateries all within moments of your driveway. Slightly further afield you're within minutes' drive of an array of impressive school and childminding options, Highway and tollway access, public transport, specialty shopping, Logan Hospital, TAFE and Griffith University.
The Lucrative Opportunity
Situated in a designated emerging community, the property offers a unique opportunity for future subdivision (STCA).
Currently a working hay production operation, the property offers a lucrative opportunity with rotating harvests producing substantial annual income. Fully irrigated, with two dams and 12 water outlet points spread across the property, the ability to pump water via a 6-cylinder diesel pump directly from the 300m of riverfront access, free of council charges offers significant savings. For the right offer, an opportunity exists for the purchase of the property to include all of the required, specialty machinery to continue the existing haymaking operation.
And if all of this wasn't enough to pique your interest, the property also boasts:
* A 20x10m shed with single phase power perfect for a workshop, with an air-conditioned office and powder room
* A 20x10m hay shed with adjoining 6x20m carport and tack shed
* A smaller second pump operating from one of the two dams, irrigates the front turf
* 6 interconnected water tank system each tank with a capacity of 20,000L
* A 24-panel solar power system with a 5KW inverter
* A machinery shed
* Stables with 6 bays and tack room
* A round yard and full-size arena
* 6 yards plus front paddock
* A powered stable ideal for storage, with a sink and adjoining covered storage area
* Opportunity to earn additional, passive income with agistment
