Accomplished 4.5 acre Property – Ideal Residential/Rural Balance – Location ++
When our vendors moved onto Kastelle 7 years ago, their 2 main goals were to create a safe and comfortable home to raise the kids, plus pioneer this beautiful block into a productive fit for purpose rural property.
The result of all this focus and toil is a sensationally structured property with a brilliant array of residential and rural features.
Firstly, the very sweet 129m2 home may have just 2 bedrooms, but the uptake on the available space is brilliant. Due to lots of smarten-up jobs that included fresh paintwork, jazzy timber floors and uplifting modernisation, the home feels much larger than it is. Importantly, the original design allowed for a lot of windows that throw plenty of light around the home, enhancing this feel of space.
A thoughtful modification was turning the original 3rd bedroom into a large master bedroom walk-in-robe, but this space could be resumed for bedroom use if needed.
The home's 34m2 main living area with it's easy to manoeuvre around kitchen and its laid back living area has direct access to both verandah spaces.
The front verandah with its magical views over the grazing paddocks is just the place to flop back into a soft chair with a steamy Sunday morning Italian brew and look down on your horses muzzling through the pasture for their brekky.
A concrete extension pad was added to the rear verandah, effectively turning it into a great entertainment area. Yes its perfect for the kids to scoot around on their bikes and cover with a pergola to shelter your future spa.
If you need more residential space, the existing home could be extended, or a 2nd dwelling is permitted under the property's zoning, STCA.
The wow factor features of Kastelle's 4.5 acre block begin at the entry gate with a huge Captain Cook gum tree. Yes, this magnificent specimen was a twiggy sapling when the great navigator's foot touched our shores 255 years ago in 1770.
Rising from level at the entry up across the elevated fully enclosed house block, there's 2 pasture improved livestock paddocks with recently upgraded non-porous steel wire netted fences, bore fed stock troughs and shade trees. Both paddocks are ideal for cross-grazing horses, sheep and alpacas, and can be whittled down to turnout/day yards to suit your needs.
If you're bringing your horses along with you, Murrumbateman Common is just 190m away and effectively provides you with 10 acres of riding land. Entry to horse heaven without the float up.
Everyone loves a shed and this 3YO 18x12m is an absolute stunner! Whether it be your vehicle collection, floats, boats or trucks, this beauty with its 4m high doors and wide arc turning circle was purpose-built take them all.
Essentially, Kastelle is a small acreage property masquerading as a giant! There's just so much happening on this energetic property.
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or buying into the market, Kastelle is for you.
