Breathe in the fresh country air and relax amongst the tranquility of the natural bush landscape, which provides a picturesque and private setting for this charming rural property.
Comprising approximately 3.65 acres of gently undulating countryside dotted with shade trees, the property offers its owners the chance to embrace the simple pleasures of a traditional country lifestyle while still being less than 5.5km from the residential centre of Clarence Town.
A range of rural infrastructure and outbuildings would make it ideal for horse owners or hobby farmers, while the abundance of native wildlife and natural habitats offer a wonderland for nature lovers to explore both on the property and in the nearby Columbey National Park.
Set well back from the post and rail timber entry for added privacy, the propertys three-bedroom home oozes country character and charm, from its delightful log-style cabin fa?ade and wraparound verandahs to its cosy wood-burning fireplace in the open plan living area.
Flourishing garden beds help soften the exterior of the home, while its traditional timber construction and iron roof allow it to blend naturally with the surrounding landscape.
A simple yet functional layout makes the most of every inch of space inside the unassuming structure, with three bedrooms, laundry and the renovated bathroom accessible via a shared hallway at one end of the home.
The bathroom is a simply stunning space, with sleek floor-to-ceiling subway tiles, timber-look floating vanity and walk-in frameless shower recess combining with just a hint of rustic styling in the exposed timber roof and timber-framed windows.
Raked ceilings with exposed timber beams enhance the feeling of light and space in all three bedrooms, while large timber awning windows frame picture perfect views from every aspect.
The soaring timber ceilings add richness and texture throughout the home, creating a warm country ambience that feels both spacious and inviting.
The large country kitchen with rustic timber benchtop is complemented by the stainless steel appliances, including a Smeg 900mm gas stove with electric oven and dishwasher, adding a contemporary element to the space, while mosaic feature tiles inject a dash of colour in the splashback.
The beating heart of this family home, the kitchen offers plenty of space for cooking up a storm and an ideal open plan configuration that keeps its connected to the adjoining dining and living areas.
Floor-to-ceiling windows on the opposite wall to the kitchen makes the living space feel even larger, with panoramic views over the stunning rural aspect.
A wide verandah wrapping itself around the outside of the home provides countless opportunities to sit and enjoy the natural splendour of the scenery, as well as versatile outdoor entertaining areas that can be enjoyed all year round.
The verandah also offers the perfect spot to sit and watch the children as they splash around in the inground saltwater pool, which is fully fenced and has the infrastructure installed ready to connect to solar heating.
The house itself has solar panels as well as an electric heat pump hot water system, while connections to the town water service as well as a rainwater tank offer added versatility.
Expand your self-sustainable practices even further by making the most of the existing chicken coop, while there is plenty of space to set up a large market garden or put in an orchard.
For those with grander hobby farm dreams, the property includes a range of outbuildings and rural infrastructure including a large powered machinery shed, a former dairy, and a rustic shack that was previously built as the original farmhouse but would make a great feed room or tack room. Horse owners will also love the established horse paddocks and a partially built round yard.
Located less than five minutes from the centre of Clarence Town, and around half an hour to the nearby major urban centres of Maitland and Raymond Terrace, this peaceful property is the perfect rural retreat for those seeking an affordable slice of country life.
