Residence

The home has four fantastic size bedrooms all with built in wardrobes. The master suite has double wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. Views from each bedroom capture the serenity of gardens and distant views over the Bungendore valley. There is also a huge study which has direct access to the triple garage.

Having three great size living areas is ideal for the growing family or to provide a self-contained residence within the home. The formal dining is often used as it has two dining areas.

The stone wall is a feature along the Western side of the house, highlighting the splendid garden environment visible from most rooms within the home.

The family room and kitchen are open plan and accommodates a lounge, eating area. The garden room is very relaxing and often a cool place to dose off in the afternoon. A slow combustion fire place also provides comfortable living all year round,suplemented by a reverse-cycle heating and cooling system. The kitchen is very well designed as a working kitchen, and has amazing views over the garden across the Valley to Bungendore Village.

A rumpus room is perfectly positioned at the other end of the home and has had various purposes over the years. A full size billiard table, home theatre, play room or separate living area for guests. Currently it is the lounge media room and due to its size serving multi purposes for the owners and guests.

Garden
Since moving to Smara Springs the vendors have embraced the joys of creating a magnificent garden based on Classical and Formal design principals. Smara Springs has a combination of cottage gardens, sustainable organic produce and romantic garden themes. This variation of themes blend remarkably and results in an enchanting home and garden where all the hard work has been done.

Throughout the four seasons the garden brings astonishing architectural and colourful features. Colour combinations in cottage floral beds and terraced stone walling have been well thought through as the plants show evidence in their growth and healthy state.
The gardens Formal design creates astonishing framing of sculptures, floral pictures, distant views to Bungendore, the residence and artist studio. Pergolas, arbours, tree planting, water features, land sculptures to mention some are well planned and play a large role in this frame work of garden rooms. And with their variety of themes keeps interest to all the senses.

As an enthusiastic gardener I feel a sense of peace, clarity of design, fragrance, self-sufficiency but most of all an artistic place of romance and reflection. Your lifestyle is purely rural with that unique touch of privacy and protection that only a fully developed 7 acre garden can provide, complete with a myriad of ecosystems provided by nature or the labours of love by the current owners.
