20 acres of native bushland are the heart and soul of this family home. Less than 15 minutes to Queanbeyan and the airport it is the perfect home for those who value privacy and peace yet dont want to sacrifice convenience.
The Yass River creates one border of the property, which also has a large dam with fish, turtles and a range of other wildlife. Kangaroos, rosellas, kookaburras, wallabys and even a resident echidna all share this beautiful piece of land.
The house is double brick and well insulated, comfortable in all seasons with minimal need for use of the reverse cycle air-conditioners. All four bedrooms have lovely views of the surrounding bushland. The master has a small ensuite and WIR, and flows out through French doors to an undercover outdoor heated spa. The kitchen is just a few years old and boasts caesarstone benchtops, glass splashback, island sink/dishwasher, soft close drawers, lazy susan, corner storage, and more. The slow combustion heater in the family room keeps the whole house snug during winter (and there is plenty of wood on the property so heating bills are very low!). The recently renovated living/dining room has an open fireplace as well as lots of hidden storage. At one end of the living area is a study nook, cleverly designed by Deb Pavletich (interior designer), with enough desk space to fit two adults comfortably (the desk rolls out into an L-shape). When guests arrive all you need to do is close the doors and the study mess disappears!
The previous owners found that so many people loved to visit this property that they installed a fully self-contained cabin that sleeps up to 6 people at a time. It has everything your guests need: air-conditioning, heating, a refrigerator, stove, toilet and shower as well as a small sitting area. A perfect teen retreat (or for when mum needs a break!).
This property has lots of extras that only a well-loved family home can offer: established low maintenance gardens with heaps of native plants (and wildlife), fully fenced yard (approx. 1 acre) so pets and kids can roam safely, multiple paved pathways, several different outdoor sitting areas which enable you to appreciate different aspects of the surroundings at different times of day, an outdoor fireplace surrounded by benches, large covered carport and concrete slab (fits multiple cars and great for kids play on rainy days), solar hot water, BBQ area next to the spa, medium sized shed, and a shipping container for storage. There are several flat surfaces that would be suitable for a future tennis court, pool, or even another residence. The current owners have relocated and are sorry to say goodbye to this oasis, but their loss is your gain!
