Property details

A Little Bit of Country, A Whole Lot of Lifestyle!

If you've been dreaming of country living, with room to breathe, spectacular views and just enough land to enjoy the lifestyle without the workload of a large farm, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for!

Positioned to capture an extraordinary panorama of rolling countryside, bush clad hills and distant ranges, this charming homestead enjoys a setting that is simply hard to beat. With approximately 8,000 sqm of land, established gardens, a few paddocks and an abundance of peace and privacy, there's something rather special about this property.

Built in the 1980s, the substantial brick home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, blending its welcoming homestead character with modern day comfort. Recent improvements include a new kitchen and ground floor bathroom and updated decor.

There's plenty of space for everyone, with four upstairs bedrooms and bathroom, while the ground floor offers generous kitchen, dining and living areas, a master bedroom, large family bathroom, separate laundry and a versatile rumpus room, currently enjoyed as an additional lounge and home office.

Aluminium joinery, a wraparound veranda and a sheltered carport beside the home add to the everyday practicality. And with views like these, you'll find plenty of reasons to sit outside, enjoy the birdsong and watch the countryside change with the seasons.

Outdoors, the lifestyle really comes into its own. Established fruit trees, beautifully maintained gardens, an impressive terraced vegetable garden, potting sheds and grazing paddocks offer the opportunity to enjoy country living at your own pace. It's productive, manageable and wonderfully rewarding.

The shedding is another real highlight! A recently constructed 6m x 9m high-stud shed comfortably accommodates a 7m motorhome, with excellent surrounding parking and turning space. Additional outbuildings include a secure older shed with potential for three-phase power connection, plus a former calf-rearing shed/pig sty. Multiple roof water catchment areas add further practicality.

This is the sort of lifestyle property that offers so much more than you might expect. A comfortable five-bedroom home, outstanding views, useful infrastructure and room to enjoy the outdoors, all in one very appealing package.

Our seller is ready for the next chapter, and this property is heading to auction. Come and discover just how good country living can be!
