The north-facing residence has been carefully designed as a solar passive home, featuring double-glazed windows, Weathertex cladding and polished concrete floors that provide year-round comfort with the recent addition of a large solar system with battery. Spacious open-plan living flows effortlessly to expansive outdoor entertaining areas, with triple-stacker doors creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and capturing cooling summer breezes. A slow combustion fireplace provides warmth through winter, while reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans and extensive insulation ensure comfort in every season.

Outside, the property has been purpose-built for horse enthusiasts and hobby farmers alike. Divided into five well-fenced paddocks with mains-powered electric fencing, the land also features four horse yards, multiple shelters, a portable round yard, a laser-levelled 35m x 35m grass riding pad and a large dam. Established native gardens surround the home, creating a beautiful low-maintenance landscape that complements the natural environment.

Adding further flexibility is the substantial fully insulated and fitted out three-bay shed, complete with a fully finished guest accommodation, rumpus or fourth bedroom with the possibility to convert a small enclave to an ensuite (STCA). The remaining shed space has been fitted out as a gym, while an extensive rear lean-to provides additional storage for equipment, feed or machinery.

With R5 Large Lot Residential zoning, dual occupancy potential, exceptional infrastructure and breathtaking views towards the Brindabella Ranges, and a potential second building site on top of the hill to take advantage of the expansive views, out of sight of the current residence. This is a rare opportunity to secure an outstanding lifestyle property with future possibilities.
