Meadowcreek’ is situated just 21 kilometres from Nowra CBD along a beautiful drive in the Shoalhaven River Valley and creates the feeling that you are literally in your own private valley. Driving through tranquil bush and sandstone escarpments along the river only serves to build the anticipation for this property, artfully designed to co-exist in harmony with its natural surroundings.
The homestead is a solid sandstone dwelling built in traditional style from honey -coloured Bundanoon stone, naturally patterned and textured with hues from coffee through to dark chocolate, but only 6 years old and with contemporary fixtures throughout. Windows are all cedar and double glazed which, combined with its solar passive design and thoughtful shading, help keep the house a comfortable temperature year round. The master bedroom has a peaceful outlook over the paddocks, built in cedar fronted robes and a luxurious ensuite complete with feature Italian stone bath. The open plan kitchen features warm cork flooring, Caesar stone surfaces, a large walk-in pantry and flows through to an airy dining room with raked ceiling and stone feature walls. Stepping down into the spacious lounge you can enjoy views over the fields and tree clad hills happy in the knowledge that there are no other dwellings anywhere to be seen. The raked ceiling in the lounge features impressive Ironbark carpentry and a large slow combustion wood burning stove creates a cheerful focus for those brisk winter nights.
A separate stone cottage joined by a breezeway has two bedrooms and a bathroom, ideal accommodation for guests or children. There is a south facing verandah joined to a striking octagonal shaded entertaining area built from Ironbark off the property supporting grape vines.
Meadowcreek has been established for horse riding with 6 fenced paddocks totalling 30 acres, all with water troughs, holding yards and two stables in one end of the large American Barn. The barn has power, water supply, a tack room, a large central area which can accommodate 2 or 3 cars and separate rooms off to the west. There are numerous trekking trails both within and from the property and spectacular Morton National Park is accessible within half a kilometre.
Water is supplied from a 95k in-ground rainwater tank and a separate 22k tank harvests rainwater from the barn. In addition there is pretreated mains water reticulated through the property to supply stock tanks, the barn and garden watering systems. There is also a large dam to the east of the holding yards and a seasonal creek running through the acreage. A bird-netted vegie garden and enclosed chook run complete the country atmosphere.
A separate gated entrance off Grassy Gully Road at the far south end of the property gives onto a clearing with a prepared house site which could be used for a second dwelling (subject to council approval)
Meadowcreek’ is the ideal property for lovers of natural beauty and peaceful privacy yet close to Nowra and only 41k from the gorgeous beaches of Jervis Bay.
