New roofing, guttering and fascia, electrical wiring (including lighting and heating), Hardi-plank Weathertex weatherboards and insulation to the walls and roofing feature in the make over. Also part of the renovation is a completely new interior including , bathroom (including floor heating), carpets, and tiling. Even the laundry has received attention with a water diversion unit installed for washing water to garden use.
The gardens are at first landscaped European in style affording privacy, and with insulation and thickened windows further barrier to any road noise from passing traffic. At the rear of the house gardens are the fruit and vegetable gardens. Fruits grown include Apricots, Peach, Pear, Nectarine, Apple, Cherries, Raspberries, Passionfruit, Red and Black Currants. Vegetables include Lettuce (shade-house), Corn, Cabbage, Broccoli, Pumpkin, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Carrots and more (only limited by your gardening and tastebuds. The vegetable gardens are in raised beds and the fruit trees are well protected from competing wildlife. Also servicing the gardens nutrition needs are several composting bays, as well manure from the poultry, sheep, and goats.
The total grounds are 7565 square metres which is divided in 5 electric fenced cells for block grazing. The vendors currently run sheep and goats which are used for breeding their meat consumption requirements, along with ducks and hens for egg and poultry consumption. The land capability and productivity is further enhanced by approximately another 1500 square metres of productive pasture (buffer to an adjoining eucalypt plantation) that is maintained by the vendor and used for hay and grazing in exchange for maintaining it in good order and controlling of weeds. This gives just over 9,000 square metres or a touch over 2 acres. Water is plentiful, being collected from both the house and the 12 metre X 9 metre galvanised workshop, stable and barn storage shed complex.
The shed collects water to a 5,600 gallon PVC tank, while the house collects into a 5,000 gallon concrete tank. Both water supplies are interconnected, and can be run together or in isolation to each other by turning a valve. Both have independent pressure pumps. Other outbuildings include firewood shed and zincalume garden sheds. From almost anywhere on the property you are afforded captivating views of the surrounding country-side, farming operations, and of course Mount Roland, so whether tending the gardens or relaxing with an antipasto or cheese platter and a beverage in the gardens or in the private courtyard and barbecue area this is a pleasant sanctuary. The house is very comfortable inside from the country style kitchen, to the plush and comfortable carpets of the open plan living area, and natural and thoughtful lighting settings. This is a very attractive package that only draws you in further with its appeal the deeper you look into the offering.
