Constructed of 75mm Hebel on 2.58ha

Do you yearn for a country lifestyle but need to be close to the city? If so, we have the perfect solution for you! If you crave space for family to play, growing vegetables, breeding horses, grazing cattle, storing cars and boats, running a business or just running wild...then you must see this. Discover a private and tranquil oasis of around 2.6ha, with a palatial residence akin to a luxury lodge, in a beautiful established setting just 15 minutes from our CBD. This wonderful lifestyle property, or farmlet, is situated on our rural fringe, and with city amenities of schooling, work, shopping and leisure all on your doorstep, there is no commuting required from this idyllic family paradise.
The home was designed and built by the current owners almost 20 years ago, under the architectural guidance of Dennis Neil and Associates and has recently undergone a total refurbishment. Created with entertainment top of mind, there is a huge in ground pool, AstroTurf tennis court, spa, outdoor fireplace, lawn chess board and a gigantic games room. Vast cedar doors with black iron fittings dominate this classic design in Gothic Revival style. Spaces inside are voluminous with an extra high stud throughout. Acres of Italian porcelain tiles create a thermal mass assisting underfloor heating and a log burner. Features and amenities are too numerous to detail here, but rest assured there is remarkable attention to detail and quality of finish in this striking and elegant home. A farmhouse sized kitchen entices, stained glass feature windows shimmer, huge skylights soar, warm timber glows, and there is a shower surrounded by a fernery in the master suite! In addition to massive three car garaging attached to the house, there is a two bay hay barn, implement shed, horse stables, extra height boat shed and cattle yards. Three large paddocks all have their own water supply and the poplar lined driveway doubles as an effective shelter belt. The garden close to the house is delightfully landscaped with several protected outdoor seating spots. Further away fruit trees are prolific in season harvesting pears, peaches and apples. With their children now grown and flown, the property is too big for our sellers, and they are resolved to pass this on to another family. Big house, big land, means big opportunity for someone to change their life. Will it be you?
