Fernstone is principally 90% pristine rainforest and natural bush with pockets of cleared areas where cattle or horses can graze peacefully. A seasonal creek runs through the property to the rear of the residence along with a number of bush walks and trails meandering their way through the rainforest and tall eucalupyts. Fernstone – this very special piece of serenity and calm so inspect now as the Vendors are committed elsewhere.”Fernstone” is no ordinary property. This total package of 100 acres combines the best of Australian Country Style and the warmth and feel of a French farm cottage with a large dose of flair and finesse. The owners have designed and built a home of exceptional quality and craftsmanship with attention to detail seldom found in a near new country residence. The spectacular view across the plateau to the Upper Kangaroo Valley escarpment and Bells Hill goes on forever and proffers a sunset that envelopes the landscape in a soft orange glow. The French influence is felt not only with the architecture and furnishings of the home but with the detail and design of the outdoor areas, the shutters on the garage windows, the tasteful use of exterior colour that blends in with the surrounding bushland, and the window boxes over flowing with colourful geraniums. The home manages to feel like it has been in the landscape for many years but is actually only 3 years old. Fernstone is constructed of rendered brick and colour bond steel roofing with toughened, double glazed windows, fire rated metal window and door frames on the exterior and timber frames for esthetic reasons on the inside. The water supply is a 100,000 litre water tank which provides plentiful water for the three bedroom, 3.5 bathroom residence. There is a double garage with large workshop plus a two bay garage with roller shutter doors for machinery and farm equipment and extra sheds throughout the property. There is a back up generator for continued electricity supply.The timber decks surround the home and offer a number of secluded spots to take in the view, luxuriate in being able to read that book you have been putting off or just take a nap in the afternoon sun. The terraces for entertaining and relaxing are covered to make sure you and your guests are not invonvenienced with a change in the weather.Preparing meals in this warm French provincial country kitchen is a real pleasure with appliances that are new, modern and discreetly disguised into the superb design. The stunning Queensland hoop pine cupboards and doors are just another detail of this very functional kitchen. The granite bench tops, European appliances, gas cooktop, glass display cupboards, deep sliding pot draws, island bench, built in two door fridge and dishwasher complete the picture. Sun splashed rooms in the afternoon, 2 cosy (wood) fireplaces, ducted air-conditioning, spotted gum timber floors throughout the living, dining and kitchen areas make for a very warm family orientated home. The purpose built study has built in book shelves, cupboards, filing cabinets and computer hardware compartments. The home also has a ducted vacuum system and is fully insulated.The master suite has a sunny west facing bay-window, a large walk-in dressing room, ensuite with granite topped dual hand basins, copious amounts of cupboards and draws for all those bathroom items. Quality carpets, drapes and the warm glow of wall mounted lamps express a well defined area for rest and relaxation. All bathrooms have underfloor heating for those chilly mornings. Two guest bedrooms, each with ensuites and spacious wardrobes. There is the capability to convert the 3 car garage into self-contained accommodation with very little alteration.
