TRADITIONAL FARMHOUSE ON 20 BEAUTIFUL ACRES

If you dream of living in simpler times, where the worries of today can just fall away, where you can feast on sumptuous fruit that you have grown yourself, and running water doesn't only come from a tap, then do we ever have a wonderful surprise for you! This may be the most authentic traditional farmhouse and property that you will see for a long time, and while the modern conveniences are discreet, they are still there.
Accessed from a quiet sealed road, the home is nestled right in the middle of this beautiful 20 acre allotment, and though the current owner tells us the neighbours are great, the tree lined boundaries and distance between homes means you will never know they are there. You would also never guess that you are just 15 minutes from kangaroo flats Lansell Square shopping complex.
The home is very special indeed, and if you want to be transported back through time, this is the place to come. There are specific architectural clues that strongly point to a construction date right around the turn of the 20th century, such as the timber Dado boards, the drawn glass colonial style windows, the small reinforced window in the chimney breast, and the No. 60 J.A. Carpenter cast iron rim locks. It has been impeccably maintained and is presented beautifully. You could have a lot of fun researching its history.
The front door, under the verandah which wraps around two sides of the home, has a distinctive floral lead light window which matches a transom window midway down the hall. All three bedrooms have hardwood floors, the main has an open fireplace and another has French doors onto the verandah on the side. The end of the hall opens onto an airy mudroom, from here you can access the combined bathroom / laundry which has slate floors, a shower, toilet, laundry trough and timber linen press, and another lead light window as well as a skylight.
Directly across from here is a doorway to the dining area which would once have been the kitchen. The fireplace here now houses a freestanding solid fuel heater to keep you cozy and warm. A servery / breakfast bar divides the kitchen from the dining area and is a feature in and of itself. The lounge room has direct access to the dining area and the hall. It has a timber lined ceiling and a fully functional open fireplace. The home is light and bright and has a very welcoming feel. Ducted evaporative cooling will ensure your comfort through the warmer months, while the 1.5 kW solar system helps keep costs down, and Starlink Internet is lightning fast.
The back verandah is greeted by a brick path which meanders through a cottage garden with everything you would expect to see there, including traditional bulbs like Iris's and Jonquil's. The old wash house is now a storage room and provides an outdoor toilet. At the end of the path, a gate under an arbor lead to a bigger backyard area where a gorgeous rustic shed built from sleeper offcuts provides a double carport, with a concrete floored workshop on one side, and on the other a storeroom, and a bar to service an alfresco area with a firepit which overlooks a large, deep picturesque dam, one of two on the property. If you love the old tractor here, you're in luck because it can stay with the property. And there is a single carport at the front of the home.
Further to the rear you go through the kangaroo fencing which encompasses the house yard and dam, to a lush green paddock where the rear boundary of the property is formed by Spring Creek, formerly known as Loddon Creek. This is an ideal place to keep a few sheep or some other stock, and a wholly beautiful place to just spend some time. Once upon a time the creek flats here supported a market garden.
If you like to be self-sufficient, you'll love the henhouse for fresh eggs, and you'll appreciate the veggie beds and the established fruit trees including apple, pear, plum orange, lemon, persimmon, apricot, quince and grapevines. The property on the whole is very charming and full of character. It is well worth an inspection and if you'd like to know more simply contact the agent Wayne Heard 0409 248 477.
