Character Designer Retreat on 40 Fabulous Acres ~ Call To View
Rural living does not have to mean skimping on designer detail and this immaculately presented 4 bedroom home, set on 40 beautiful acres, is testimony to that fact.
Approached via a private, no through road, this 2003 built Rivergum home sits proudly at the end of a long, tree lined driveway which makes its way past a number of immaculate paddocks, dotted here and there with large, old gum trees. Even the gravel driveway is immaculate! Continuing past the house this leads to a generous turning circle, a large area of off street parking, quality car porting and several excellent sheds: All of which offer proof that even rural trimmings can have a smart edge!
To the front of the attractive, rustic home are manicured gardens and an expanse of lush lawn sloping gently away to a small copse of trees, all overlooked by a wide decked verandah wrapping around the house.
Then theres the setting! And what a setting it is! Positioned sympathetically in the heart of its rural parcel, the home is surrounded to all sides by countryside as far as the eye can see. Private and serene, tranquil and picturesque and truly the epitome of a country retreat.
And so, to the house itself, being a beautiful combination of quality designer detail and country charm. The heart of the home is an inviting open plan family living space, which literally embraces you in its welcoming warmth. Hard, almost impossible, to tear yourself away from, large windows overlooking the gardens add to the captivation of this room.
