Hidden away up a short driveway is this lovely home set amongst beautiful gardens that have been lovingly tendered over the years. This brilliant property has a mixture of flat land surround the home and flat and sloping natural bushland and grazing paddocks.
About the home… Built in 1984 the home has an excellent layout and is able to be a 4 bedroom home or 3 bedrooms and rumpus room.
The living space is just gorgeous with a mixture of timber and brick with the centre piece of the loungeroom being a spectacular open fire place with beautiful timber shelving and mantle piece. The ceilings in the lounge room and dining room are raked which gives the feeling of space and of course with any natural timbers there is the feeling of warmth.
The dining room is spacious with enough room for a second sitting area, kept warm by a wood heater and this is open plan with the lovely Blackwood timber kitchen. The kitchen has plenty of bench and storage space and a large walk-in pantry is close by in the hallway.
The main bathroom is huge with a separate shower, vanity and tub with a separate toilet nearby. There is also an additional shower room. Being a layout that can be modified for what ever your family needs, the current owner uses one bedroom as an office still leaving 2 super large bedrooms and the rumpus room as another bedroom.
There is a large verandah that runs along the front of the home which takes in the garden views, and another verandah at the rear that leads to the large double carport with space for an undercover clothesline, toilet number 2 and a store room.
About the sheds… there is a super large shed that has a roller door each side, an office space and a workshop room, plus beside this is another double carport. There is also a 20 foot container for more storage and a tractor cover area.
There are the stables for the horse lovers and attached to the stables is another large implement shed.
About the land… a rare find, there is a combination of pastures and bushland which makes this property the ideal hobby farm. Water is well taken care of with 2 good sized dams plus access to the Forth River. There is also two large water tanks close to the house and a further water tank towards the rear of the property.
Water is like gold on these properties so with a spring fed dam setup, water collected from the house roof and shed roof plus the pump from the Forth River which can be used for residential and garden use, this property has it all.
The gorgeous gardens hold many a secret from past garden fetes and open days when music was played under the verandah and the guest mingled enjoying a champagne on the lawn. There is a large greenhouse for the green thumb and an opportunity to bring this spectacular garden back to it's former beauty.
As with plenty of properties you could do a few updates with the home to make it a little more modern plus the land and sheds hold endless opportunities. This has been a much loved family home… and now with so much to offer this property is just waiting for a new family to breathe some new life into it.
So please pick up the phone and call the listing agent Wendy Squibb to arrange your private inspection, I will be delighted to show you through.
