Hills Haven
Built by the current owners over 40 years ago, this beautiful property has been a labour of love to create a quaint Hills Haven for their family to enjoy.
Enjoy meandering the garden paths, following the hand-crafted signs, and taking a moment to admire the local birdlife and visitors; resident Koalas, Kangaroos and even blue-banded bees frequent the gardens.
A cool and shaded outdoor BBQ area is the perfect place to entertain family and friends before you make your way to the fenced-off lawn area, which has seen decades of family fun with the kids and many robust competitions of volleyball, bocce and cricket games.
Extensive and well-thought-out vegetable garden plantings and fruit orchards are a produce-lovers dream, offering fig, mulberry, raspberry, elderberry, plums, and apples. Complete with a glass house to propagate new plants and seedlings and a compost shed to replenish your garden after harvest.
Suppose you have a like-minded interest as the current owners in winemaking. In that case, the small vineyard of Shiraz, Viognier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes will be of interest, made all the better by storing your wine in your very own cellar.
There's something for everyone on this property; a lined 'she shed' that has seen hours of creative craftworks, an impressive cellar for your homemade wine and produce collection, storage sheds, workshops, a wood shed, and even a chook house that will charm the fussiest of your feathered friends.
You will have ample water to nurture your garden with an excellent bore and extensive water storage tanks. In addition, a fire pump and a fire suppressant sprinkler system further enhance your hills-living amenities.
Inside, you will notice the pristine quality of the home, with the Blackwood timber kitchen seeing an update in recent years while retaining a cottage charm with a superb Rayburn wood stove with a water jacket taking pride of place in the kitchen. A warm and sunny spot to sit on a winter's day, you can admire the garden views from your kitchen table.
The adjacent dining room opens to the shaded BBQ area, while the lounge room is cosy and snug with the combustion heater - a must for hills living!
Offering ample storage and three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, you are serviced by a modern and updated bathroom with a frameless shower screen.
After over 40 years, the current owners are ready for you to enjoy the fruits of the labour they have invested in this much-loved family home.
