The Best Kept Lifestyle Secret

Deadline Sale (will not be sold prior) Closing 4pm, Wed 3 Aug 2016.

Venture off the main road and discover this country treasure - here you will find the perfect balance for a peaceful lifestyle in the most scenic and sheltered surroundings. Beautifully presented, this charming rural property encompasses some 2.62 hectares and borders the Pelorus River.

Sunny and warm, the inviting family home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office and spacious living areas looking out to the established gardens. There is an open fire in the substantial separate lounge and a log fire on wetback installed in the open plan living and dining room. Both living spaces have doors opening out to the veranda and have striking timber ceilings for added character. A heat transfer system transports the warmth in the living areas down to the hallway and bedrooms. The country-style kitchen has everything you need with a freestanding oven, dishwasher, range hood, double sinks, a corner pantry and halogen task lighting.

The three generous bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes; the master bedroom also has a sliding door to the garden and an ensuite bathroom. A separate sleep-out provides a further bedroom with an ensuite, tiled floors and gas hot water.

A credit to the owners, the gardens surrounding the house enhance the setting with colourful blooms, providing ever-changing views through the seasons. Other features dotted around the home include a fishpond, chicken coop, an aviary, vegetable gardens, a tunnel house and a potting area, with the balance of the land fenced into five paddocks and a walking track leading from the house down to the river.

All of the essential supporting sheds are accounted for, and then some, with two workshops, double garaging and a further single garage. There is also a carport with an outdoor sink and a woodshed. A four-bay shed offers two bays with concrete floors that have been converted to stables, and all four bays have power and running water.
