It will take you months to get to know every nook and cranny of this gorgeous property around which every corner there is something delightful to behold. But let s start with the wonderful externally rendered brick and tile family home that has, over the last few years, enjoyed a fantastic renovation.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is a relaxed family hub with a foundation of cork flooring, reverse cycle air-conditioning and a large breakfast bar island bench providing a great central spot to perch for informal meals. The kitchen sports white cabinetry with illuminated uppers, grey stone benchtops and splashback, electric oven, gas cooktop with range hood and dishwasher. A huge picture window overlooking the front garden brings nature and beautiful light inside.
Call it what you will, this lounge-come-games room flows on from the living area and has reverse cycle air-conditioning and sliding doors out to the alfresco patio. Two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, open onto this versatile space. In a pod at the other end of the house you ll find the remaining bedrooms, an office (or fifth bedroom), laundry and the family bathroom with spa bath. The master bedroom is a spacious, deliciously light-filled room with air-conditioning, walk-in and built-in robes, and enormous windows facing the garden and terrace. While all the bedrooms share a single bathroom and two toilets, the septic system has been extended to enable a secondary bathroom to be built without any trouble.
Cool, lush, colourful and whimsical, the delights of the beautiful mature garden beckon from beyond the expansive brick terrace and undercover entertaining patio. After cooling off in the sparkling below ground salt pool, take a wander down the central spine of the garden through the rose and grape arbours to the orchard and rose gardens, stopping to admire the bee-attracting flowers or rest in any of the many seating areas dotted under the massive deciduous trees. Fully reticulated from the bore and the spring-fed dam, this lush garden is a welcome oasis in summer but has been designed to be enjoyed in every season. Magnificent deciduous trees provide a shady canopy in summer that changes to provide a magnificent splash of autumn colour before falling away to allow sunlight to nurture a procession of flowering bulbs in winter and spring. An amazing collection of hardy succulent plants require little water and produce beautiful and strangely delicate flowers in summer. Extensive water-wise native gardens burst with colours in the spring, attracting a variety of birds. Cross the little dam bridge into pasture and a kids swamp adventure garden planted with paperbarks at the rear of the property. There are vegetable growing areas, an awesome kids cubby on stilts, lawn, a fire pit and endless spaces to roam and play.
There is plenty of shed infrastructure offering ample storage and work area, including a powered workshop with large machinery drive through open bays and a powered garage with a double carport and 1.5kW PV system on the roof. Dual entry and open access to the property enables large vehicles to move around easily. Invite your friends with caravans and tents in tow, set up under the trees on the edge of the garden and imagine a weekend of relaxed revelry. Located only minutes from town, close to schools, sporting and community facilities, this really is a spectacular lifestyle property like no other.
