HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS...
Every once and a while, a story surfaces that is so truly touching, it just has to be told.
The story of this beautiful home is one of those. The special thing about this property is not just the delightfully secluded one acre block it sits upon, nor the larger than normal space provided in every single room - in fact, this special element can't even be seen.
By purchasing this home you are not just welcomed to a new space from which you can continue your family story, but you are also playing a huge role in helping other families and people in need in continuing theirs. As a lasting legacy to his amazing life, the generous late owner of this property has expressed his will to donate full proceeds of the home to the Royal Flying Doctor Service to enable them to continue their crucial service.
Beyond this, the home has a special something - from the regal driveway entrance - to the lovingly nurtured native gardens that fill with birds who flock to enjoy the customs bird bath and feeders.
A shady wrap around verandah adorns the front of the house, allowing this vibrant birdlife activity to be taken in from this serene space and from the charming kitchen bay window. The front section of the home houses the office, enormous master suite with walk in robes and modern ensuite and the open formal lounge and dining area with reverse cycle air conditioning - many of the rooms have electric roller shutters.
At the heart of the home lies a giant chefs kitchen, with deep underbench cupboards, not one, but two double pantries and a modern stainless steel wall mounted oven, gas stove and stainless steel rangehood. Via the breakfast bar, it overlooks the informal lounge and dining area, bathed in light thanks to large windows and a central skylight, and with the choice of homely wood fire or reverse cycle heating.
The separate bedroom wing of the home can be divided off to create privacy for the rest of the family and minor bedrooms that are really the size of a master in anyones books all featuring dual his and hers robes. The second bathroom is all big, big shower, big mirrors, big vanity and big floor space - definitely spacious enough to avoid the clash of daily preparations!
With one acre to play with, this block has certainly been nurtured into something special. The new owners can experience the joy of producing their own fresh food, with the extensive established orchard, veggie patch space, shade house and chook run. The yard, intentionally secluded from the road via the established trees and rolling grassy areas adopts its own slower, relaxed pace of life, which can be felt as soon as you enter the property.
It's the perfect place for kids to play, or retirees to potter - enjoying endless days amongst the tranquillity of the gardens.
The man of the house certainly doesn't miss out - with the enormous powered shed and separate garden shed providing the ideal place for those projects.
Everything about the home is larger than normal, especially its heart.
