This is the home people drive by just to have a stickybeak at. An Iconic sandstone-look brick home on the riverbank of the Richmond River, overlooking the Jabor Weir, it has been comprehensively renovated, and exudes opulent modern living. Its an old title so you own to the waters edge

Both at ground level and along the second storey verandah, there is an extensive view of the gardens and the river opened up by timber and glass doors – 5 sets of French on the ground level and 2 very large Centor screened bi-folds doors extending most of the length of the building’s second story connecting the outside with inside.

The middle level of this opulent tri-level home, boasts a beautifully crafted entry door which opens into an impressive formal entrance beset with high pitched ceilings and a magnificent and very unusual halogen chandelier as its center piece.

From here the central staircase, featuring naturally cut timber slabs, ascends to the second level which is showcased by breath taking views and the bespoke (sexy) candy apple red and stainless steel retro kitchen has everything that opens and shuts including Zip tap for instant boiling water, single drawer dishwasher, induction cook tops, multi function oven and matching microwave, a large fridge with chilled water facility. Halogen downlights adorned all kitchen bench areas and the dining room. It includes a custom in-built buffet and china cabinets to match the kitchen and dining setting and has coordinating stools for the breakfast bar. Large cathedral windows highlight the dining and lounge areas at each end of this story.

The staircase also descends to the third level and second self-contained living area, with lounge, bedroom, kitchenette/dining area and second bathroom, perfect as a private parent’s/teenage retreat, separate flat or large entertainment area.

The main entry also leads out onto a large 95sqm covered outdoor entertainment area, also to the hallway for the middle story living accommodation consisting of laundry, three bedrooms, and opulant bathroom.

The large gardens and surrounds have been adoringly landscaped, with formal circular driveway and hedges creating many separate ‘rooms’ through which to walk or just sit and relax. There are statues, fountains and many other features to delight in each ‘room’- there is even an observation platform overlooking the river bank.

Although your castle is theoretically ‘in town’ (2 min drive to hospital, 5 minutes to the centre of town, between 3-6 minutes to schools) it is in a tranquil rural environment with manicured vacant land on two sides of the property with the river along the back creating peace and tranquillity.

If you are entrepreneurial ‘Wintersun’ is not only the home of your dreams it could become much more. The grounds lend themselves to any number of uses eg. weddings or functions as there is a large flat area ideal for marquees and the gardens make great areas for photography. The downstairs area is suitable for many uses including living area, parents retreat, granny flat, clinic, the ideas could be endless subject to council approval where applicable.

We would consider as a deposit an American motorhome to an agreed value with a cash difference, or an exchange of a single story house in the same class, without all the gardens. This is a wonderful family/executive home.
