Passive solar designed for energy efficiency, Benlin-built for quality and classic styling, elevated and oriented to capture views of neighbouring Lake Charlotte amid a whispering sea of lush green crops on the surrounding hills: this magnificent farm homestead has it all.
Ample glazing and high ceilings allow the spacious, north-facing open plan living area to fill with light creating a golden glow in the glorious Tasmanian Oak and granite kitchen. It has a large island bench stepping down to an intimate breakfast table for two and is fitted with a large walk-in pantry, appliance cupboard, freestanding ILVE electric oven, gas cooktop and Ariston dishwasher. The dining area is surrounded on three sides by glazing with sliding doors opening out to alfresco entertaining patios on either side, connected by a verandah fitted with solar louvres.
A formal lounge room sits to the left of the entrance foyer decorated in golden hues highlighted in the shining Blackbutt floorboards. From the long hallway that extends from the front foyer, you can access the three-car, oversized garage and storeroom, several walk-in storage cupboards and the roomy attic. This wing includes three junior bedrooms (all with built-in robes and fans), a shared semi-ensuite bathroom, powder room and spacious laundry, culminating in double doors to the splendid master suite at the end of the hall.
Lake Charlotte is nestled in the hills to the west and three of the bedrooms enjoy these lovely rural views, especially from the expansive windows and doors in the master. Rosewood timber floors, a custom-built, walk-through robe and a massive ensuite with a corner spa, add to the classic luxury of this room.
There is a slow combustion fire and ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning in the living areas, power for which is offset by the large 22-panel 4.2kW PV system on the roof. The house is connected to mains water and has a 180,000L rainwater tank ensuring plenty of water for household use and reticulation for the garden, which includes a substantial lower orchard, shade-house and vegetable patch. There is also a chook yard and secure dog pen close to the house.
This 115-acre property has six cleared paddocks and plenty of natural wildlife and timber corridors. It is currently cropped on a lease arrangement for which there is ongoing potential. The farm infrastructure includes a massive, drive-thru powered shed with a deep machinery/hay lean-to on either side. The shed has concrete floors, power, and plumbing from a rainwater tank for sinks and a shower. There are additional machinery and shearing sheds, as well as Phoebe Cottage, a three bedroom one bathroom timber and iron guesthouse. Perfectly habitable but in need of some TLC, it is a handy accommodation addition to the homestead. Electric gates secure the front entrance and there is a long bitumen driveway in from the main road to the homestead, which sits in the middle of the property capturing 360-degree views of the surrounding hills. Say no more, this property is simply magic. Only an inspection can truly do it justice.
