If you understand the geography of the Albany region and the distribution of real estate in the district, you understand how rare it is to find a ten acre lifestyle property at all, let alone one that is this close to town, provides great access to beaches and a range of lifestyle activities, and is on good, well drained land. Add to that a top quality home, plenty of sheds, and a good water supply, and the exceptional nature of this property becomes obvious.
Set well back from the road, the home is very private with a calming outlook over surrounding bushland and pasture. The hexagon design is the brainchild of a master builder looking for the best of family friendly living, optimal use of space, and energy efficiency; not only does the floor plan provide interest and stimulation, it also allows the occupants to live together and interact rather than being segregated and separated as with many of the modern home designs. The home has been expertly crafted and immaculately maintained since, and is presented in near-perfect condition inside and out.
The central hexagonal lounge room is a wonderful space which grows on you with every minute spent there. Other living spaces include open plan dining and kitchen, the latter of which has been renovated and hosts a dishwasher, gas cooktop, and underbench electric oven; and a separate smaller lounge. Bedrooms include a king size master with two built-in robes and ensuite, and two queen and one double size rooms all with BIR. The home also has a good size office and second smaller study, as well as second family bathroom with bath and shower. The unique floorplan means that all rooms surrounding the hexagonal hub have direct views across the lush gardens and bush surrounding the home.
If you are after a shed or workshop all your dreams will come true here. Immediately adjoining the home is an oversize double carport, this provides direct undercover access to the home as well as the 9m by 9m workshop, complete with its own bathroom and running hot and cold water. In addition a separate carport and powered double garage provide space for extra vehicles, or a bit of general storage. The main carport can be fully enclosed to provide a brilliant outdoor entertaining area, if it is too wet to enjoy the lovely patio running off the living area.
The block itself is undulating with a variety of different vegetation, including natural bush, parkland cleared bush, regrowth, and three to four acres of pasture. The whole block is suitable for stock and the area of regrowth is clearable with permission. A permanent soak provides ample water for stock and also reticulates the lawns and gardens.
This is a superb property the likes of which will not be found elsewhere. Perfect for families, retirees, and professionals looking to escape town, the quality of the home, options for usage of the land, and fantastic location will appeal to many. No home opens will be conducted on this property, for your private inspection please contact exclusive listing agent Blair Scott on 0459 024 026.
