This is the ultimate big family home, conveniently zoned into parent and kid wings with spacious open plan living and separate retreats. Timber and leadlight front doors open into a vast living area, which has timber flooring, a jumbo slow combustion fire, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning and down lights throughout. The white and green kitchen has two built-in pantries, a white dishwasher, an electric oven and gas cooktop. Four large junior bedrooms, all with fans and most with double built-in robes, form a pod off the living area and share a family bathroom.
A glazed internal walkway leads to the parents zone where you ll enjoy the privacy and space of a large master bedroom, walk-in robe and semi-open ensuite, plus an office and a spacious lounge area. There are sliding doors from the master bedroom out to the brick paving that surrounds the entire house and a lovely native garden where blue wrens play in the grevilleas. The generous office has a secure fire safe bolted to the floor.
One look at this stupendous alfresco entertaining area and you will start planning the housewarming party to end all parties. Two gable patios joined by an undercover breezeway form a massive area with checkerboard paving creating a giant chessboard up one end. It overlooks a fantastic below ground Sapphire pool with underwater LED disco lights to get that party started. A wall-mounted TV creates a sport-watching hub; just add a comfy alfresco lounge suite. To the side, there is a large lawn with a cubbyhouse and all the foundations for a tennis court with power, sand pad and retaining walls in place. If that isn t enough play options for the kids, wait till they see the basketball half-court and the awesome tree house out front. Built into the arms of a giant eucaplypt, it has timber floors, windows, an iron roof, a cool slide and a rope swing. Definitely no parents allowed.
Great strides have been taken towards sustainability on this private 27-acre bush and pasture property. A 1.5kW PV system on the roof helps offset your power plus there is a 17kva back-up generator. A cluster of three huge steel rainwater tanks totalling 345,000L and a large pump house provide abundant water to the auto reticulation system that takes care of the garden and lawns. A huge shaded vegetable patch with raised beds and a Rolls Royce chicken-breeding complex provide ample fresh produce and eggs for the kitchen. Slurp on juicy peaches fresh from the tree thanks to the massive productive orchard, which has poles and overhead lines installed to enable netting. There is a machinery shed with a lockable workshop and mezzanine storage area plus a wood shed with lean-to for vehicle parking. Leading off the tree-lined circular driveway, a double carport and single garage/storeroom connect via a walkway with the deep verandah that wraps most-way around the house.
It is self-evident how much time, effort and money has been spent on this magnificent property. Take a look at Scarlet Farm and it will sell itself . All you need do is move in and spread out.
