"Killarney" - So Much More Than A Farmlet!
There are properties that fit neatly into a category – and then there is “Killarney”. Set on approximately 49.98 hectares (123.5 acres) on the very fringe of the village of Wongarbon, just 20 kilometres from Dubbo, “Killarney” brings together character, country lifestyle, outstanding improvements and the convenience of village living in one wonderfully unique package.
Wongarbon itself offers the warmth of a close-knit country community, with a K-6 primary school, pub, post office/general store and soon-to-open café, making “Killarney” an appealing opportunity for those wanting space and privacy without feeling completely removed from everyday conveniences.
Making the first impression, front and centre on the block, is Killarney's original cottage – a wonderful reminder of the property's history and a project just waiting for someone with imagination to bring it back to life. Its character and position present exciting possibilities for restoration and, subject to Council approval, potential future use as additional accommodation, a granny flat or perhaps even a charming farm-stay/Airbnb retreat.
Nestled privately behind the original cottage is the property's character-filled 2/3 bedroom residence, where brick and rock external walls, feature ironbark windowsills and beautiful natural materials create a home with warmth, individuality and an unmistakable country feel.
At its heart is a modern farmhouse kitchen featuring 40mm Caesarstone benchtops, a white double farmhouse sink, 900mm Westinghouse gas cooktop and electric oven, ample cabinetry and pantry storage, mosaic tiled splashback and beautiful leadlight pendant lights. The kitchen opens to the dining area, complete with reverse cycle split system air conditioning.
A spacious family room continues the country character with an open fireplace, fixed iron doors and timber mantle, while an enclosed sunroom wrapped in windows creates a gorgeous light-filled space to sit and enjoy the garden outlook.
The accommodation is wonderfully flexible. Generously sized bedrooms include ceiling fans, while a large rumpus room and an L-shaped second living area with TV point provide options for additional living, hobbies, working from home or a third bedroom or sleep-out depending on your needs.
The beautifully renovated bathroom brings a touch of luxury to the country setting, with a freestanding bathtub, double vanity with granite benchtop and extensive under-bench storage, open shower, private toilet, quality fixtures and fittings, floor-to-ceiling wall tiles and exquisite mosaic floor tiling. A large laundry completes the home's practical spaces, while the double carport also provides a substantial undercover alfresco area.
Surrounding the cottage are picturesque established house-yard gardens dotted with citrus and fruit trees, beautiful peppercorn trees, together with a designated fire pit area ready for evenings under the stars.
Beyond the house yard, the property really begins to show its versatility. The mostly cleared country is fenced into four paddocks, each with its own dam for stock water, with stock-proof boundary fencing and approximately 30 acres of pine and ironbark forest. Ironbark from the property has also been incorporated into the cottage and internal fencing, adding another authentic connection between the home and the land.
