This beautiful 11 acre property is nestled on the much sought after South West Road in Beechmont. The property is comprised of a four acre native tree forest which was carefully selected and planted by the previous owner forty years ago, as well as five acres of well-maintained pasture on a gently undulating slope with magnificent views overlooking the valley. With the remaining couple of acres dropping away to a wet season part-time creek in the gully at the back of the property.
The main residence is of wooden construction with red cedar cladding and a two meter deep wrap-around veranda, three bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes and large living and dining areas. A 3.2 kW solar system on the roof for cheaper electricity. Downstairs has brick walls and a concrete floor and houses an additional shower and toilet. With the 4 x 11,000lt water tanks and attached filter system clean water has never been an issue.
Located 25 meters away from the main house is a 6m x 8m chalet with hoop-pine flooring, composting toilet and outside paved area. The chalet provides additional living space and/or entertainment area. Beside this is a 3.4m x 6m titan garage. These two structures feed a further 14,000lt concrete water tank.
The current owner has completed extensive improvements to this parcel of paradise; including construction of a 4m x 8m horse stable and a 6m x 9m workshed, new wooden post and rail fencing that separates the house yard from the horse paddocks, planting numerous fruit trees and establishing a thriving covered vegie garden and a herb garden. The land is fenced into three paddocks for rotation, all with water access from a separate 10.000lt water tank fed by the workshed.
An abundance of wildlife is enjoyed by the lucky owners of this place. Sitting on the veranda with a cup of tea in the morning, watching the low clouds rise with birds chirping in the background, wallabies grazing in the yard, tawny frogmouths and king parrots paying surprise visits as Wompoo fruit doves and kookaburras fly overhead. The sky puts on majestic displays at sunrise and sunset; with occasional breathtaking lightning shows. The property has well established Richmond Birdwing Vines scattered around, these being the breeding ground for the nearly extinct Richmond Birdwing butterflies, which only lay their eggs on that particular species of vine.
