Kelso QLD 4815

A home for all seasons, this elegant residence is ideal for the family who values a peaceful haven to return to. It is at one with its environment, with wide verandahs running the entire width of the home, providing great views down through the terraced gardens to the river. And the property has Riparian rights - so you own the land right into the water itself.

The three bedrooms within the main home all have sliding doors and Crimsafe to the verandah and built in robes, as well as superb river views. You'll be enchanted by the sight of sunlight dancing on the river, and later by the reflected moonlight. The master is separated from the main house across a breezeway, and has the feel of a mountain retreat. There's a smart ensuite and walk-in robe, and you can wake to the sounds of bird calls, looking out into the treetops.

The multiple living spaces all have great appeal. The formal living room, with timber French doors opening to the front garden, is tranquil and light filled. Another living space adjacent to the kitchen is the perfect place for visitors to admire the chef at work, and the spacious family living/dining room will be a favourite congregating space for all the family, with its garden and river views.

The kitchen is impressive, to say the least. There's a Miele steam oven, induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher and metres of wide benches, and a big walk-in pantry. A good sized study or sewing room is at the end of the home, along with a practical laundry. A comfortable breezeway sitting area makes it easy to relax and enjoy nature all around.

The double garage has auto roller door, and a workshop with power and light will delight the man of the house.

The gardens of the property are nothing short of breathtaking. Carefully planned and developed over years, the gardens are home to a number of kookaburras, dollarbirds, drongoes and many owls - barking, frogmouth and nightjar and boobook. It's hard to believe you're just minutes from shops and schools in such an environment. Low voltage lighting edge the steps down through the terraced gardens to the large lawn at the river level. There's a pump and garden shed on this level, and the property has a licence to pump water from the river, with irrigation system which ensure the magnificent gardens are lush and green all year round. An electronic irrigation controller ensures that areas requiring frequent water is easily managed. You'll need the ride-on mower for the lower lawn lawn, and then you can reward yourself by launching the canoe from the wharf, and gently floating down the river.
