On offer is a rare family haven completed by a spacious homestead with views from all high positioned rooms, parkland gardens, riverfront walks and access to rock hop to the secluded beach where you can fish, swim and look out for the local platypus frolicking in the shallows.
The expansive homestead with its solar passive design, celebrates the calmness of the surrounding landscape, with large windows connecting the home seamlessly to the great outdoors. An easy flow of formal and informal living areas will further serve your family's lifestyle and make entertaining a breeze. Built in 2009 the home was proudly awarded "Housing Industry Association COUNTRY HOME OF THE YEAR ACT & STHN NSW"!
The central axis of the home is the open plan kitchen, family room and meals area with northerly aspect that open freely to the outdoor entertaining areas. The kitchen offers quality appliances, stone bench tops & roomy butler's pantry. The amazing ambience of the lounge room will have you mesmerised with it showing off the architectural design of the home and cleverly drawing your eye to the outdoors through floor to ceiling windows. It also opens to the amazing viewing deck.
The segregated master bedroom includes a roomy modern ensuite and dressing room robe area and opens to the outdoor deck amongst the treetops where you will enjoy the morning birdsong and views. Two additional large bedrooms are located on the same level and bedroom four is located downstairs.
For those wanting a second home on the property - can do with the Dual Occupancy Entitlement to build another, or alternatively you may find great use of the existing 130m2 three level studio (council approved as garage) separate from the main house offering large storage room at basement level, bathroom, kitchenette and large workshop at ground level, then upstairs a stunning furnished sunroom.
There is no doubt that we all romanticise the idea of having a holiday home to escape our modern lifestyle stresses but the reality is, we never manage to "get away" as often as we'd like or need. Imagine waking up each morning to this incredible property that feels like your daily escape, from which a break is never required. Now that is living!
