Built in 1880, this country homestead is a truly exceptional property. Offering close proximity to all amenities, it’s hard to believe the city is only 15 minutes away. Bordered by a picturesque creek and towering native eucalypts, this outstanding acreage is accessed via a quiet and pretty lane. Sitting on almost 19 hectares of land, this is a unique offering that is absolutely ideal for a buyer seeking the country dream. With space for multiple generations or ever-changing living requirements, the fully renovated house also features a versatile outside space that would suit a horse lover, hobby farmer or simply someone looking for a luxurious regional lifestyle.

Established palms at the entrance offer a grand welcome, and the older section of this heritage build is rich with character charm – from the rambling bullnose veranda, to the spacious rooms with open fireplaces indoors. The main entry offers two bedrooms, and this entrance hall leads down to an open plan kitchen, living and dining space. The stylish country kitchen features every modern convenience and French doors open from many of the living areas to the outdoors. A hallway from the main living takes you past a study with built-in storage and desk, and a spacious formal lounge. This section of the property also features a stunning master suite with ensuite and walk-in robe. On the other side of the home are two additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, laundry and mudroom with shower and drying room, sunroom, space for an additional toilet and a third living area.

The outside of this home has enjoyed as much consideration as the inside, with multiple outbuildings providing everything you may need. An immaculate brick barn with paved flooring and timber detail overlooks an arena and round yard, and 14 paddocks beyond this space are fully-fenced with dedicated horse fencing. A large machinery shed also features additional living at one end with fireplace, full kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. This opens out, with bi-fold doors, to a porch overlooking the dam and creek – ideal for entertaining. Further entertaining spaces around the home includes multiple living zones, both undercover and to make the most of the sunshine.
