RENOVATED TO A HIGH QUALITY, THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME OFFERS CHARMING CHARACTER WITH MANY PERIOD FEATURES SUCH AN ORNATE CORNICES, HIGH CEILINGS, FIRE-PLACES AND POLISHED TIMBER FLOORS. COMBINED WITH TASTEFUL MODERN FEATURES SUCH AS DUCTED HEAT PUMP AIR CONDITIONING, QUALITY FITTED KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS, AND A HIGH-STANDARD INSULATION. THIS PROPERTY ALSO OFFERS AN INCOME-EARNING BLUEBERRY PLANTATION, CONSISTING OF 600 BRIGITTA AND 400 BLUE CROP BUSHES. ADJOINING THE HOUSE YARD IS A PADDOCK WITH PASTURE AND DAM, FOR LIVESTOCK OR HORSES. THE EXISTING 1930 S APPLE SHED HAS BEEN RESTORED AND CONVERTED INTO A WORKSHOP, SEPARATE GARAGE AND THE DEN FOR DAD OR TEENAGERS. THE FOUR ACRES ARE SPLIT INTO THREE AREAS: 1.5 ACRES IS FULLY FENCED WITH THE DAM, 1.5 ACRES FOR THE BLUEBERRIES, TANKS, IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND SHED AND THERE IS APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE OF LAND SURROUNDING THE HOME, DISPLAYING BEAUTIFUL GARDENS AND THE DRIVEWAY LAID WITH BLUE-GRAVEL. AS SOON AS YOU WALK INTO THE HOUSE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT A LOT OF PRIDE HAS GONE INTO IT. FINISHED TO A HIGH QUALITY, THIS IS A HOME FILLED WITH CHARACTER WITHOUT LOSING THE MODERN COMFORTS THAT WE HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO. THE MASTER BEDROOM HAS A LAVISH EN-SUITE WITH SPA, AND THE OTHER TWO BEDROOMS ENJOY A TWO-PERSON SPA IN THE LARGE, MAIN BATHROOM. THE LOUNGE IS SPACIOUS, YET COSY, WITH A CHANDELIER GIVING THE FINISHING TOUCH. THE KITCHEN IS WIDE, VERY FUNCTIONAL AND HAS A LOVELY VIEW TO THE GARDEN.

THE FIVE-YEAR-OLD BLUEBERRIES ARE MULCHED, IRRIGATED AND EASY TO MAINTAIN WITH WATER BEING SUPPLIED FROM THE FULLY AUTOMATED BORE THAT PUMPS AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE TANKS AND SEVERAL TAPS AROUND THE GARDEN.
