They designed the solid, double brick home themselves and had plans drawn up by an architectural draughtsman and engineer. They worked as owner builders, engaging the very best local tradesmen, but also doing much of the carpentry themselves. The five bedroom home, wrapped by verandahs offering a range of sunny spots for outdoor living throughout the year and a variety of views, features a broad entry hall leading to a spacious, high-ceilinged informal living, dining and kitchen area connected by French doors to a formal living room with open fireplace. The informal living spaces open onto a sunny, protected courtyard. Connected to the living spaces there is also a separate guest bedroom and bathroom.
Off the entry hall, another hallway leads to the bedroom wing, with a large laundry, main bathroom and separate toilet, main bedroom with en suite bathroom and three more double bedrooms with sunny aspects and lovely outlooks to the landscaped grounds. Downstairs, a large double garage has internal access via a staircase. There are also outbuildings, including a large machinery shed and chook shed. As well as the formal gardens, the property features an enclosed vegetable garden and a thriving orchard with 36 varieties of fruit trees including oranges, mandarins, peaches, persimmons, apples and figs.
???It???s been a privilege to live here,??? says the owners. ???The landscape is wonderful,with the escarpment and clouds and fog falling like glaciers into the valley. It???s just such a fantastic place to live. If you have a bad day at work you can come home, wander in the garden and listen to the birds and immediately feel relaxed. It???s so tranquil and peaceful here but we have wonderful neighbours and its only four kilometres to Berry, ten kilometres to Seven Mile Beach and a two hour drive to Sydney so you never feel isolated.???
The owners are planning on downsizing and moving closer to their grandchildren in nearby Cambewarra. Though sad to be departing this special place they have lavished with care for over three decades, they are leaving a property rich with potential for its new owners. What was once a bare cow paddock is now a magnificent mature garden worthy of inclusion in a national garden register and the spacious home is ready to welcome another family or is ripe for an architect???s vision to create a stunning contemporary dwelling at less cost than a new build.
