The property is connected to mains water and there is also a significant rain water supply from an underground 8,000 gallon rainwater tank plus a 15,000 gallons 'squatter's' tank and another 2000 gallon tank off of the main shed, there is also a 'turkeys nest' dam. The bore is currently not connected. There is a 6000 gallon Manacon header tank situated on higher ground not far from the animal yarding and loading ramp.

The ranch style home was obviously master built at the time, today offering a flexible floor plan with up to 4 bedrooms, plus dedicated study and a large family area on the West Wing. The formal lounge and dining area could quite easily be adapted to provide a master bedroom and large en-suite dressing area, thus offering three bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite.

There are extensive built-ins in every bedroom, floor-to-ceiling cupboards, drawer space and in-built vanity areas. The front door leads to the office with inbuilt storage cupboard and bookshelves, then onto the very large, sunny family area which also offers a Surefire Mark IV slow combustion log fire - this room also steps out onto the outside entertainment area.

The long hallway with timber feature arch leads to all of the remaining rooms including the laundry of which has its own outside access plus a separate toilet and also inbuilt storage cupboards. The current main bedroom offers a ceiling fan and walk through robe which is linked to the en-suite. The main bathroom is well appointed with two door, floor to ceiling linen cupboards, shower, corner spa, two door-three drawer vanity, wall mounted mirror and light.

The bitumen circular return driveway, from the main gate, leads to the home and its extensive, park like, well established garden and grounds. The garden offers extensive stonewalling, mature camellias, roses, hedging, bulbs, crab apple, Red Prunus, Pittosporum, Hebe's, Ash, Silver Birch, Liquidambar to name a few, and some very attractive white gums. There is also a fishpond near the double undercover carport.

To the east of the home are further improvements including the in-ground pool and built in spa with tubular fence, together with underground cellar with inbuilt submersible pump. This links to the undercover entertainment area (9 m x 3 m) and the linked lined 'pool room'. The roof of which houses the solar piping of the salt chlorinated pool (Disconnected). Adjoining is the full light asphalt tennis court and behind is the huge barn measuring 20 m x 8 m x 3.6 m. The barn includes one small bay which is a dedicated workshop, one larger bay of which has been fully lined for studio use. Lastly a 9 m x 6 m unlined storage shed with cement floor, (no power) located on the South West corner of the land.

There are three central control panels on the irrigation system providing significant watering capacity in the garden and grounds together with pop-up sprinklers. Three phase power is a connected to the property and there are ten solar panels mounted on the roof. Furthermore the roof has been applied with reflective coating, there is also two layers of bat insulation (effectively R5 rating) plus sizalation, and shutters on all windows hence energy efficiency is relatively high. The ducted air-conditioning is not working; however, the owners did not require its use given all of the above explained energy saving measures.

All in all a highly developed very adaptable property which would positively respond to renovation as required and quite clearly enhance the capital value. Once again, a delightful setting in a premium location.
