This superb, perfectly private and elevated 25 acre property is located on the southern edge of town in one of the most scenic parts of the district. The home will instantly appeal to those wanting to achieve that perfect rural lifestyle but without the usual travel compromise. It is simply one of the most complete small rural holdings available anywhere and offers a unique opportunity for a discerning buyer.
Applegum Ridge offers a range of quality features including a 125 tree olive grove, extensive stone landscaping with ponds, creek and waterfall, 4 bay workshop and machinery shed, steel cattle yards and 6 paddocks.
The home is a large, double brick, solar passive design, which provides oodles of space for even the largest family. Being split level, the home has lots of character and interesting features through exposed brickwork and other structural elements. On the upper level there are 4 bedrooms, each with a built in wardrobe and main with en-suite. The 3 way family bathroom is also on this level and is ideal for kids.
The mid-level comprises a large living room with wood-burner which is typically only needed on those cloudy days. An adjacent and equally large rumpus room provides for a range of potential options including music, games or home office.
The renovated country kitchen and dining room are located on the lower level. This space has direct access to a covered deck and adjacent framed outdoor courtyard, providing extensive entertaining options. The views to the north are nothing short of stunning.
A large garage and workshop has been constructed next to the house to provide for quick access in all weather conditions.
In addition to the main home there is a delightful 2nd cottage. This fully renovated studio offers a combined living and dining room, quality kitchen and bathroom, separate bedroom, laundry and attached carport. This would be ideal guest, in-law or home office accommodation.
Applegum Ridge is a wonderful lifestyle property that will have broad appeal. Inspection by appointment is highly recommended.
