This is exactly the type of property that will make you long for a tree change. It's the kind of place where kids and adults alike can find things to do outside in the fresh air, all day long, unwind and enjoy a quiet evening in a tranquil setting, then of course, sleep like a log through the night. If you want the privacy and serenity of a clean, healthy country lifestyle, it's all right here for the taking, ready for you to indulge in.
This home is very versatile and easy to live in, even for a large family, with great NBN reception, two living areas, six - yes six bedrooms, one with an ensuite, plus a study, and a fresh new bathroom, laundry and kitchen. While this home is extremely functional, it is also very beautiful and creates a real sense of comfort and oneness with nature through features such as Oregon beams supporting a vaulted ceiling, internal exposed brick, and timber framed colonial style windows framing an idyllic country outlook.
Most of the house is freshly painted and five of the six bedrooms have new carpet. The master suite has a ceiling fan, as do all of the bedrooms and the study, it has a reverse-cycle split system, as does the open plan living area, and it also has a his-n-hers walk-through robe with mirror doors for superb neatness and for use as a dressing room, this provides access to a three piece ensuite. The other five bedrooms all have built-in-robes and three of them also have built-in-desks. They are well separated from the master at the other end of the living areas and serviced by a gleaming new luxurious three piece bathroom and separate toilet. The solar hot water deserves a mention at this point. The laundry is new too and for those who love a good laundry, this one is fantastic - it even has dual hampers built in to the cabinetry.
The living spaces feel very calm and inviting with a central brick chimney dividing the areas, and housing an inset Coonara on one side and an exquisite little Fatso pot belly stove on the other. To nourish all those who could live or stay here, you are going to want a very functional kitchen that is a pleasure to get creative in, and you are going to love this one, it has oodles of bench and cupboard space, stainless steel appliances including a double door oven at an optimal height, a five burner gas cooktop, gorgeous beadboard cabinetry dressed with a granite overlay bench, and even a raised servery to the adjoining dining area.
As you step outside, which is really what this property is all about, a shady bullnose verandah encompasses the home, with lush greenery growing on or near much of it. Conveniently close to the kitchen a large paved alfresco area draped in vines will be wonderful for relaxing in good company, and is most spectacular as it turns a vibrant red in Autumn.
Just a few paces away from here the solar heated, salt chlorinated, crystal clear pool is simply perfect for kids, big and small, to splash to their hearts delight or to soothe away a hard days' work with the spa jets. If you prefer your water adventures to be more based in nature, then you might like to go exploring along Native Gully Creek, a seasonal creek which runs through the property, or perhaps even one of the two dams.
Speaking of water, this property is exceptional, on top of the two dams and the creek, two fully lined concrete tanks with a capacity of around 90,000L together, service your domestic needs, while a whopping 6 meg water right comes straight from the Eppalock pressurized pipeline to standpoints throughout the property. You don't even have to order it, it is simply available all year round.
In the house yard a rustic cubby and jungle gym are accompanied by a sandpit. The garden is beautifully established with a magnificent Ash as a centrepiece, a wonderful old Medlar tree and an abundance of fruit trees including apple, pear, apricot, plum, lemon, orange, fig, bay, almond and passionfruit vines covering the tanks. The yard is securely fenced with timber posts and ringlock, as are another four paddocks.
One of the main things the next owner, if they are an equine enthusiast, will love about this property is the infrastructure for horses. A 20 X 60m Olympic sized sand arena has solar floodlights, the round yard has a sand base, there are two shelters in the paddocks, two post and rail yards near a shed which includes a high set carport for a float, a feed storage area, an enclosed tack room with power, lights and a concrete floor, and annexed to it is a wash bay with excellent pressure as it is fed from the pipeline, and it also has power and a floodlight.
And lets not forget about vehicle storage, a rustic brick and stone double carport, with a dormer roofline, which could become a very pretty feature, has power and lights as well. To complete the picture a heavy duty cattle grid is in place at the front gate and at the gateway to the house yard.
The property is ideally situated on a sealed road in the picturesque suburb of
Eppalock, only 9 minutes from the heart of Strathfieldsaye which can satisfy
almost all of your needs with an IGA supermarket, bakery, private and public
schools, medical practice, chemist, dentist, veterinary clinic, plus an array of
specialty shops, great sporting facilities, and the ever popular Braidies
Tavern. School bus pick up is available within easy walking distance.
