20 Nirta Drive

Murrumbateman NSW 2582

4.8 acres of nice land surround Fleetwood Cottage. A neat gravel driveway wends up to the cottage past 2 perfect riding paddocks which are well fenced, level & completed with a fine day shelter. The dam paddock is off to the left with both dams in very good condition & ready for our seasonal Spring catchment.
Fleetwood Cottage sits towards the rear of the block, making the most of its gently elevated position. The home"s wide front verandah which is naturally cooled by a pad of formal dark green lawn, beds of Jonquils & embracing shade trees enjoys a great view over the front paddocks.
Fleetwood Cottage"s 140m2/15sq of living is well thought-out. The large master bedroom suite is to one end of the home, distanced from the other 3 secondary bedrooms by the formal lounge, family/meals, kitchen & dining areas. The home is in superb condition & captures the prevailing light perfectly.
A covered country-style pergola attached to the rear of the home extends the entertaining functionality nicely. Its a fabulous spot to kick-off the wellies, sip a freshly brewed "cuppa" and absorb the pervading country garden aromas.
The back yard is all country. Fruit trees, wood shed, mature gums, lawns & views of the day yard paddocks. But we can"t pass the quad garage, double carport & workshop without a quick look. There"s plenty of room to set up the "Triton" on a weekend & still keep 4 cars under cover.
The rear acre of the property is divided into 2 day paddocks. Ancient gum trees provide a glorious degree of mottled shade & a distinct feel of the Australian bush way of life.
Fleetwood Cottages gardens are completely bio-friendly & pushed along by an on-property bore with an estimated flow rate of +700gph. My clients have ignored any artificial fertilizers & have opted for top dressings of manure & other certified organics.
Fleetwood is a special property with a very special persona.
