This completely private 14 acres (5.674ha) comprises of the main brick residence, a separate studio, large high-roof shed, a triple carport with storage shed and multiple fruit tree & veggie enclosures. The elevated position and the set-back, well off the road, ensures your privacy and takes advantage of good sun as well as creating a beautiful native setting surrounded by Coastal Ovata gums. There is a winter creek that runs through the middle of the property, with a dam and a second smaller dam nearby. Also set up with 4 x 11,000L poly water tanks, you will have plenty of water for drinking and gardening.
The main house has full-length verandahs on two sides and offers a big open plan living space inside. The 3 bedrooms (2 with BIRs) share a central bathroom and a separate toilet. A free-standing wood fire provides both atmosphere and warmth for the cooler months and there are large sliding doors to let the breeze through on those hot summer days. Every window looks out to the low maintenance, yet pretty gardens and the ever-changing colours of the native bush. An outdoor stone BBQ area provides a lovely setting to entertain with views down the valley and down a picturesque native gully.
A newly built separate studio provides fantastic extra space, ideal for many uses. Whether you need a rumpus room for the pool table and the bar, or a creative space for your music, or maybe inspiration to develop your artistic talents. There is a full-length covered deck, a spacious open area with views out over the bush, kitchenette or benches or the bar and 3 storage rooms. This structure is fully insulated including the walls and roof and is heated by a clever little wood heater with a hotplate on the top. The energy efficiency is increased further with the solar panels on the house which feed back into the grid assisting with the power bills.
