From the moment you drive through the gate of this picturesque, 100-acre hideaway the stress begins to melt away. The rolling hills, the stunning vistas, secluded gullies and open grazing land combine to paint the most tranquil of pictures.
AT the highest point on the property, with commanding views of the surrounding ranges, sits a stylish weatherboard cottage with a raised verandah, solar power, and an open-plan layout that makes the most of its lofty vantage point.
Its cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows and north-easterly aspect make for a bright and inviting living space with wonderful ventilation in summer, and a solid-fuel heater for cosy winter evenings. Included in the living area is an open kitchen with a Belling gas stove and a gas fridge that will stay with the house. The walk-in pantry is a great surprise too so much storage space all hidden away from view.
The bedroom is a truly beautiful space. With built-in wardrobes and french doors opening to the verandah, you'll wake to both the morning sun and the sound of birdsong.
A generous four-piece bathroom and a spacious laundry complete the picture.
Ideally suited to someone with an interest in the environment, there are three dams on the property and thousands of native trees planted by the current owner over the past decade, including a seed orchard. Other infrastructure includes a 13hp Honda back-up generator, assorted shedding, a shadehouse and 10,000 gallons of rainwater storage.
Whether it's a peaceful weekend retreat from the big smoke you're after, a quiet low-carbon-footprint lifestyle, or a place to build your rural dream home, you'll find this paradise (just 10 minutes from Heathcote) hard to resist.
