The spacious separate lounge room has a wonderful large open fire place with the inbuilt wood box stocked externally. Another character feature is the delightful cast iron barrel heater at the other end of this fabulous living room. Outside of the lounge room is a delightful little rock paved undercover sitting and wood storage area.
The two king sized and one double bedroom make it an ideal family home or provide great guest accommodation. The beautiful granite shelving or window seat in one of the rooms is sure to delight.
The main bathroom is modern in style and has a combined timber and tiled finish. It houses a lovely bath, single vanity unit and toilet.
Off the main house is the laundry which includes a handy separate shower and second toilet. With no electricity connected, the property is completely solar powered and hot water supply to the bathroom is by way of gas heating.
The large level area of cleared land around the house has been cleverly set out to host a variety of well established orchards and gardens. The first of the orchards boasts 480 hazelnut trees, the harvest of which may provide a great marketing activity. The pretty second orchard is home to an abundance of fruit trees, including apple, quince, nashi pear, peach and nectarine.
The first large enclosed garden bed features a multitude of beautiful berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, gooseberries, yogenberries and blackcurrants. Certainly just desserts are in the making :)as is the veggie soup from the second fully enclosed vegetable garden bed. An A frame hothouse completes the picture. The story doesn't end there....
In addition to and separate from the main home is a beaut little A Frame stone and timber bungalow. With enough space to sleep two, it also features a cosy sitting area.
To ensure the hobby farmer or handyman has all the tools at the ready, this outstanding property also includes three forms of shedding. The first houses the solar batteries and units for the solar panels with the second being an adjoining tool / utility shed with a concrete floor. The third shed is ideal for housing the tractor and implements.
In addition to the three water tanks, there is a freshwater creek which can be utilized by way of water pump to gravity feed the tanks if needed.
For the clever investor, there is certainly potential to further develop this sensational country style property (Subject to Council Approval). Perhaps the perfect setting to build those much sought after Eco cabins for that rural retreat holiday getaway.
The ride on mower, tractor, slasher, tools and some furniture items are negotiable with the purchase of the property.
