There are many wonderful adventures to be found within this enchanting property - you wont want to leave.
Not only does the design inside work beautifully for a family, there is the private stage setting of a bushland backdrop.
The vendors have invested a lot in making sure this home is right, incorporating thoughtful design elements and the rewards are ready to be reaped on a new handover.
The prestigious address of Raftery Road, affords this five bedroom property a semi-country lifestyle with acreage close to required amenities and the vendors explain only 15 minutes to the centre of Shepparton.
First be tempted by the four horse paddocks and dressage arena, ideal for any horse enthusiast.
The circular driveway reveals wonderful established gardens that extend throughout the property, a fenced tennis court and pavilion and double carport.
The exterior walls of the home are rendered and complimented by aggregate paths.
About seven years ago the home underwent a major renovation and the results are outstanding.
The familys main internal domain, the open-plan kitchen, dining, meals and outdoor living is effortless and simple but stylish in spades. It is elegant thanks to large timber windows and glass doors exuding a wonderfully bright and light room, a lofty raked ceiling, Black butt timber floor boards, grand wood-fuel fire with feature flue and exceptional views.
The kitchen is influence by an English theme emphasized by the sink, cupboards and handles and high-end fittings include black granite and marble bench tops, butlers pantry, gas cooker and enjoys a convenient vista along the driveway
Every time you walk into this space you will draw a smile.
The outdoor undercover room is exceptional with the luxurious inclusion of automatic fly screens to extend the functionality of the space. The stacker stone pillars and overhead facia are stunning and the timber deck extends cleverly beyond the pillars.
The north side hosts an expansive paved area with a barbecue zone, a raised deck area that hovers above the separate spa tub and glass panels allow an uninterrupted view of the Mediterranean pool - so easy to clean courtesy of pop-up cleaners. The decking and paving settles the house to merge with the garden via an expansive green river of lawn to the bushland panorama.
The remainder of the home oozes charm and modern finishes including the cosy formal lounge room with log fire, recessed bookshelves and the great outlook.
The front entrance benefits from a skylight as does the hallway and encompasses a recessed alcove, four bedrooms include built-in robes and are serviced by a family bathroom and the master bedroom has a walk-through robe and a luxurious ensuite with a bath.
Explore the river literally at the back door, or rustic Raffs Hut the kids playground and cook sausages on the makeshift barbecue or light a bonfire, or venture across the bridge of the dam, or tend to the irrigated garden beds or roam among the chooks.
The majestic element at night is when flood lights beam upward along the gumtree trunks or on a clear night satellites and shooting stars are brilliant.
There is no doubt in the vendors minds; this property has let them live an exceptional lifestyle which now, could be your piece of heaven.
