Dreaming of an escape to the country, but still within a 30 minute commute to the city?
Dreaming of space for your children and their pets, or just you and your animals?
Dreaming of room for all your toys and want a few more?
Dreaming of your retirement and a property to supplement your income?

Whatever your dream, this slice of history lovingly known as Ridge Road Gardens and previously as the Iris Gardens is a timeless beauty presenting you with the opportunity to secure a spectacular 2.5995ha (6.4 acre) lifestyle property while potentially gaining income.

The 1880s cottage epitomises character and displays traditional charm that simply cannot be replicated. An extension naturally expanded the property's footprint and created a configuration that is superbly suited to an Airbnb, or bed and breakfast scenario. You may also look to continue serving Devonshire teas that the property is renowned for, or look to expand the current wedding and function venue possibilities.

With a total of three bedrooms, two are situated within the original floorplan along with a bathroom. A sizeable master suite occupies the opposing end of the home and comes complete with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and French doors to the garden.

Colourful hues, classically styled windows, skylights and abundant timber detailing adorns the interior, while a soaring macrocarpa ceiling is an exceptionally attractive feature of the open plan living area.
The country kitchen is conveniently complemented by an adjoining pantry, while outside a sheltered patio, thriving gardens, towering trees and tranquil ponds ensure that unwinding outdoors is extremely peaceful and private.

The block also features a large utility shed, while a colonial double garage with attached studio showcases undeniable charm.

This property is expected to attract interest from city dwellers who want to escape the rat race and embrace a change of pace.
