Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac near the headwaters of the Yass River, this architect designed double brick home is a peaceful retreat from the intensity of city life. The house is on a well maintained 8ha natural bush block which features a thriving box gum woodland complete with native orchids, lilies and carnivorous plants. It supports a rich variety of wildlife, ranging from tiny peacock spiders through to threatened Rosenberg monitors and even the occasional quoll. You don't have to walk far to find wildlife, it thrives here - you'll welcome swallows, grebes, ravens, sugar gliders and marsupial mice (dunnarts) all nesting within 50m of the front door.
The house is low maintenance, fresh, and ready to move into. There are two light-filled living areas with restful views over the home dam, and beyond this, two adjacent outdoor living areas offering summer shade and winter sun. The four bedrooms all have built in robes, independent heating, the carpet is new, and block out blinds have been fitted. There is also a separate home office beside the master suite that could be nursery space or guest accommodation.
A very appealing feature of this family home is that there is loads of storage including a 10 sqm attic space accessed via a pull-down ladder, plus kitchen and general storage cupboards in the hallway. This is a comfortable house, in every sense of the word; large cedar sliding doors in the living areas open to allow a cross breeze and there is a Smart Ventis system for passive heating/cooling and air quality.
The kitchen is light and bright, well positioned within the home as it opens onto the causal dining space and the front terrace. It has an original wetback wood stove, together with a new electric oven and cooktop. There is plenty of cupboard space, an island bench with a breakfast bar, and a beautiful view over the dam too!
If you would like to have a comfortable work from home setup, look no further as there is a semi-detached studio with its own ensuite and kitchenette. It is double glazed and has in-slab heating, a new air conditioning unit and new block out curtains. Adjacent to this is an oversize double garage with workshop and separate wash-up/laundry facilities. There is loads of workshop storage including built-ins and a huge (2m wide) ex-Defence safe. Additionally, a 10 foot container with a wide sliding door, lock box and power to it is the ideal spot for tools. For peace of mind, the owners have installed an on-roof sprinkler system and two wall-mounted fire hose reels.
The property is well laid out and there is a circular driveway that passes down around the house and out, past the fully fenced yard with an established orchard. Not only are there plums, mulberry and quinces, there is room for more planting and a big gently sloping north-facing vegetable bed has been established behind the house for veggie growing.
At the back of the house overlooking the garden is a huge veranda and pergola, this could easily be converted into cat/small dog enclosure if required or could be a safe play area for small children.
