Basking in the backdrop of an idyllic 22 acres comprising of natural bushland and a river-fed dam, ‘The Ranch’ provides an enviable and relaxed country lifestyle in a convenient locale only 22km from the CBD. Tranquil and private, its occupants will enjoy a mixture of indoor and outdoor living options; taking advantage of a large 5-bedroom home, a secluded 3-bedroom caretaker’s residence, extensive alfresco areas, and stables surrounded by multiple paddocks and round yards for the budding equestrian.
With arched columns encircling the home, the main residence resonates with the rugged romance of a Spanish-colonial influence. Vaulted exposed beam ceilings dotted with skylights soar above an open plan living and dining room, creating a spacious and light filled area. A doubled sided wood burning fireplace keeps the space warm during the winter months and enacts as a subtle room divide, creating another separate area for whatever the family desires.
The contemporary kitchen was designed and manufactured by award-winning Dana Kitchens. Displaying beautiful marble benchtops and sleek white 2 Pac cabinetry, no luxury has been spared. Stainless-steel European appliances include a 6-gas burner stove top and integrated Miele dishwasher and built-in Miele refrigerators. Spanning the length of the kitchen, the expansive island bench features an in-built Jarrah wood chopping block and under counter refrigerator.
A sitting room or rumpus area with an exposed brick feature wall, intricate ceiling rose, and recessed bookcase provides additional space for the family. However, it is what’s behind the bookcase that makes this room truly something special. A hidden cellar is a wine connoisseur dream with custom silky oak racks and a Vintec bar fridge, providing room for 1700 bottles. A Wine Master air-conditioner keeps the room at the optimal temperate for your prized collection.
Connected to the home off the living area, a heated indoor salt water pool with separate spa is enclosed by a spectacular exposed beam dome ceiling and wall to wall windows. Wood clad feature walls hide a convenient pool side bathroom with shower.
Two of the five bedrooms are situated on the ground floor of the home. Each are fitted with ceiling fans, a split-system air-conditioner and built-in robes. The main downstairs bathroom has recently been renovated with polished stone vanity top and a large frameless shower. Upstairs houses the three remaining bedrooms, two of which are built-in and feature ceiling fans, air-conditioning and access to the terraced balcony. They are serviced by a neat and tidy bathroom with curved frameless shower and separate powder room. Taking up the east wing of the second floor, the spacious master suite also provides direct access to the wrap-around terrace overlooking the property, and features high raked ceilings, an ensuite with his and hers vanity, corner spa bath, shower, and fitted walk-in robe.
Outside, even more living space can be found with a wrap-around covered terrace and an enormous covered entertainment area overlooking a beautifully landscaped tropical garden. A custom-built bar with bar fridge, BBQ preparation area, and wood fired pizza oven ensures you will enjoy your time outdoors.
Providing yet another outdoor entertaining option is an 80m2 open barn which has been fitted with a commercial fridge, beer taps, fireplace, band area, and two plumbed Portaloo’s to provide the ultimate party experience.
A caretaker’s residence has been fantastically renovated with an open plan living and dining area, modern kitchen with window servery and breakfast bar, wood stove fireplace, and 3 bedrooms including a master with walk-in robe and ensuite. The main bathroom features polished stone vanity top and large frameless shower.
Whether sitting alongside the 11 megaliter dam with fishing rod in hand, utilising the stables and round yards, or enjoying many of the indoor or outdoor entertainment areas, there is nothing this grand homestead wants for.
