Designed with great care for their needs, the current owners have had the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of their vision and planning for the past 21 years. The 1.55 hectare (3.8 acre)parcel of land was chosen for its northerly aspect, idyllic position and privacy. The gentle slope and existing bush along with a permanent creek and ancient rainforest created natural interest and the home and grounds were planned around this. You enter the property along a leafy driveway lined with crab-apple trees.
The classic home has a central courtyard to allow light into every room and connecting hallway. French doors lead out onto a wide verandah to take advantage of the cool mountain breezes. A Cheminee Philippe slow combustion/ open fireplace is ducted through the house to ensure a cosy environment during the cooler months and reverse cycle air-conditioning takes care of the living area and two of the bedrooms during summer. Numerous special finishes abound throughout the house from the handmade Spanish tiles in the bathrooms to the solid timber doors and quality European appliances in the spacious kitchen. A very large laundry/mud-room has been a wonderful asset in this country home and provided massive storage along with a built-in drying cupboard and drop-down in-built ironing centre. Along with the creek is an underground 120,000 litre rain water tank along with a 10,000 litre above ground tank attached to the shed
The established garden has delightful mixture of fruit trees and exotics and for the keen chef a large covered vegetable garden.
To house equipment, cars and for any creative projects there are two connecting colour bond sheds consisting of 5 bays. The home is also energy efficient with a large 2 kWh solar system contributing to the power grid and a built-in back-up generator to ensure power is always available.
Situated in Bellawongarah, just ten minutes drive to the village of Berry.
The owners have loved living in this idyllic location and are sad to be leaving.” We hope the next owners create as many wonderful memories here as we have”
