2663 Armidale Road, Blaxlands Creek NSW 2460

Tucked away on 8.5 acres of sandstone escarpment and gently undulating country, this individually designed two-storey home is nothing like the standard acreage offering. Set well back from the road, it is completely private, with an elevated position that gives a peaceful outlook and a sense of being removed from the outside world.

Exposed brick, slate floors and timber beams run throughout, and the main living area sits under a soaring cathedral ceiling with an open fireplace. The living and dining areas are split-level and flow through to a timber kitchen with a breakfast bar, gas cooking and a pantry. A full-length verandah shelters the western side of the home, and the adjoining patio is an inviting spot for outdoor entertaining. Two fireplaces and air conditioning keep the home comfortable all year.

The spacious main bedroom is on the ground floor beside an impressive slate and brick bathroom. Upstairs are two further bedrooms with built-ins, a study or third upstairs bedroom, a second living area, a second bathroom and a versatile landing currently used as a library. With its pitched roof and elevated position, the upper level makes the most of natural light and cooling breezes.

A separate studio near the house is fully lined, powered and air-conditioned, and suits a work-from-home office, creative space, rumpus or games room, teenager's retreat, guest accommodation or home business. The massive 9m x 12m shed has power connected and takes care of vehicle storage and workshop space, and a large hardstand beside it gives you further room for vehicles, floats or machinery.

The land is very usable, with two fenced paddocks ready for horses or livestock. Town water is connected, solar hot water is in place and the solar power system reduces reliance on mains electricity. With a massive chook pen and plenty of established fruit trees, you can aim towards self-sufficiency from day one.

Entertaining is taken care of with a built-in pizza oven in the yard, and with summer approaching, buyers will appreciate the current owners leaving the above-ground pool.

The location is equally appealing, approximately 20 minutes from central Grafton and just 6 to 7 minutes from Coutts Crossing Primary School and General Store. The Armidale Road corridor also puts some of the region's renowned natural attractions within easy reach.

Offering privacy, usable acreage, generous living spaces and excellent shedding, this is a property with plenty to offer families, hobbyists or anyone looking for more space and a quieter way of life.
