Berkeley Lodge offers an ideal rural lifestyle in the most beautiful scenic environment. The weatherboard and convict-era brick home dates back to early settlement days for the area when it served as a tutor’s residence for the Antill family in the 19th Century. The atmosphere is pure relaxation as you enter the luxurious family room which opens through cedar doors to the outdoor entertaining area and rural setting out the back. The family room has split air conditioning, Nectre wood heater and bakers oven. Walk past the divine leadlight window through to the newly installed Highland kitchen with Caesar stone bench tops, under mounted stainless steel over sized double sink, excellent storage solutions and a free standing Falcon double oven. Elegant formal dining with convict-era brick walls. Formal lounge with working fireplace. 3.2metre ceilings throughout with weather board ceilings. Five generous bedrooms, large study and loft.
Outdoors is the kids and hobby farmers’ haven. Arable usable pastures ideal for horses or any farm animals. The serene picnic setting is completed by tree lined Racecourse creek which meanders along the rear and one side of the 6 acre property. Native flora and fauna are in abundance, featuring Superb Fairy-wren, Glossy Black-Cockatoos, ducks, king parrots and water dragons. 15m x 10m American barn. Double carport and storage room. 100,000 litre plus tank water.
All of this ideally situated just minutes to Picton town centre, 35 minutes to Wollongong and 1 hour from Sydney CBD.
A wonderful property that has to be inspected to be fully appreciated.
