As you make your way up the driveway towards 18 Butts Road, the day washes away. An easy commute from the city, the drive home is a chance to unwind, to let the day go, and to reset. By the time you're entering the drive, you're ready to enjoy the acreage, the home, and the lifestyle.
This home has had a recent facelift, and the new owners will arrive to find all the hard work has been done. The house sits quietly on the block, and each room has views across the gardens or into the paddocks. As you enter the front door, the home feels fresh, open, and bright, with big windows bringing a lot of light in. The first living area is large, with a statement fireplace and mantel to bring the authentic country charm. There is plenty of room for a big sofa, and space for the whole family to enjoy together. From here, you make your way into the secondary sitting area, with access onto the back verandah and into the kitchen.
The kitchen sits in the middle of the home, easy to access, and has plenty of space to really enjoy your time spent cooking. The Smeg induction cooktop, matching 60cm oven and grill, and the dishwasher are ready for use, and there is a lot of bench-space too. Families will love the open plan nature of the kitchen-dining space, allowing everyone to spend time together.
The four bedrooms are just down the hall, with built in storage, easy access to the main bathroom, separate loo, and the laundry. Each has brand new carpets, and all fit queen beds. The master bedroom is at the end of the hall, with a large built in robe and a modern ensuite.
If this property has struck your interest so far, get ready, the block is a showstopper and a huge feature here. On a total of 16.15ha (40 acres approx.), this property is a horse lovers dream, but would be equally suitable for somebody simply looking to host a few head of stock and maintain a beautiful rural holding.
This area has beautiful fertile soils, and the paddocks are set up thoughtfully, with a central lane and horse friendly fencing. The owners were horsey, and have set up the 5 bay (approx.) shed as a feed shed, hay shed, and 3 x open stables. There is easy access for floats, and there was previously a 70 x 40m arena too.
Below the house, there is a 8 x 4m cinderblock building, which has a range of potential uses. For those with horses who are wanting to restore the original arena, it would make a great viewing room for your coach or family. For others, it holds great potential to be a work from home zone, a guest house, or simply secure storage.
