Rarely does a property of this calibre and size become available in such a sought-after location, only around 3.5 kms drive to York's main street with mains power and water. Ensuring peace and seclusion, a tranquil mature Lilac tree lined private no-through road leads to just a handful of residences and the Avon River adjoining this stunning private estate. With around 14.72 acres of land, it is much larger than most of the smaller rural land holdings located in the Shire of York. The scenic, gently undulating block boasts two seasonal creeks, scatterings of mature trees and a nature strip complete with mature native shrubs and trees for added privacy, light and noise reduction. With the zoning allowing for a minimum of 5 acre lots, the property has subdivision potential.
Built in 1998, the large double brick family home blends craftsmanship, comfort and timeless character. Freshly painted throughout in modern tones and featuring 2.6 metre high ceilings with ornate cornices, a massive open-plan living and dining area includes a large Massport wood heater, perfect for cozy winters and Toodyay slate floors known for their durability. A bespoke handcrafted bar, built from local antique shearing shed timber is a brilliant focal point. This space is an entertainer's dream that even has room for multiple full size billiard tables and opens out via several double french doors to the 3 metre wide verandahs. With around 189sqm of living space the home has ducted evaporative aircon and ceiling fans throughout for year round comfort. Around 430sqm under the roof includes the extensive wrap around verandahs, that also provide great outdoor entertaining areas overlooking the property.
Quality thick block out blinds & New Graphite room darkening pinch pleat & lace curtains have been installed throughout the dining, living areas and bedrooms. All four bedrooms have built in robes with mirror sliding doors, and two of the bedrooms are master bedroom sized.
The chef's kitchen boasts a gigantic amount of bench space and has been beautifully finished in a classic country style with stunning jarrah cabinetry and a brand spanking new electric oven and gas cooktop.
In the bathroom you'll find a luxurious sized bath, shower and new black Nostalgia tapware. The laundry is well completed with a walk in linen and plenty of benchtop and cupboard space. Some other recent additions to the home include a solar power system with 6.5kw of panels and a 300litre heat pump hot water system, both installed in 2022, assisting in keeping utility bills to a minimum.
Outside, established cottage gardens surround the home, featuring a selection of 2 x 8 metre palms, rose, lemon, passionfruit, and vegetable beds along the verandahs create a serene and productive landscape ideal for self-sufficient living. A 6m x 12m powered shed/workshop is complete with kitchenette, cupboards, wood heater and even has a very handy adjoining "bathroom shed" with a shower, toilet, laundry and hot water system. Infront of the shed is a 4 bay carport for that extra handy undercover space.
Organically, permaculture farmed for four years, with no chemicals or pesticides used, with a chook pen, small stable, and multiple fenced paddocks helping make this an ideal property for livestock or hobby farming. Currently running a flock of sheep and alpacas, it could also make for a great horse property. In the creek line a small natural winter dam is surrounded by native couch grass which helps to provide some feed for stock throughout the summer.
