Ever dreamt of setting up your guest accommodation enterprise? Look no further than this unique 10 acre property where all the hard work has been done. Two impressively renovated residences are already in place and most favorably, planning permits to develop two further studio dwellings have been granted. Permits such as these are now impossible to obtain given planning changes, and as such this property represents a very rare opportunity to develop a retreat in what is a superb location, amongst a perfect setting. Your initial impression will be the magnificent ornamental Manchurian Pear trees introducing visitors to a rare combination of formal gardens and sensitively maintained native bush. The gardens are an ever changing mix of laid garden beds, roses, herbs, orchard, relaxing garden rooms and shaded pathways and an array of established native and exotic trees.
In direct contrast is the rear of the property. Spectacular native bush, with pathways and cleared areas, is a haven for a variety of flora and fauna. Existing buildings include a small cedar cabin and a new Amish style timber barn which can be converted for accommodation as part of the permits.
The stylishly refurbished main residence lends itself to entertaining with wide verandahs and a contemporary design kitchen of commercial quality boasting granite bench-tops and SS appliances. Complimented by an open-plan meals area, the kitchen flows naturally to a rear alfresco space surrounded by fragrant gardens. Also features three large bedrooms (master with ENS) and formal lounge and dining.
