TALIA is something very special! Located just 9.5km from Murrumbateman village, Talia”s splendid bundle of attractions is waiting to be opened by just the right person. Why splendid you ask; well let me skip you across the property & you will see. Firstly, Talia”s homestead is distanced from its sleepy Greenwood road frontage by acres of gentle-falling robust grazing paddocks. These paddocks are fine enough to keep your flocks feeding throughout the year & permit excellent stock rotation. A long driveway leads up to the house block just skimming the edge of these beautiful paddocks. When you reach the house block there”s no doubting its complete elegance & fascinating country appeal. Neatly landscaped gardens with orderly garden beds bursting with vibrant colour, rows of fruit production trees of most types punctuated by soft established ornamentals & mini-lake that will throw your mind back to the last time you were in a European summer. Ringed with rushes & other naturally occurring aquatic plants, the lake has its own jetty with a set of timber steps leading up to the homestead”s colourful gazebo deck. Once you reach the deck the views back over the pond & countryside are spellbinding. You can enter the homestead via an intermediate alfresco dining area off the gazebo deck. You are immediately struck by the high ceilings, hefty exposed beams & the space provided by the home”s semi-open plan. The kitchen is roomy, well equipped & finished in timeless whites. The adjacent meals area swings around to the spacious lounge room which has wonderful views over the garden to the countryside. The formal entry foyer features an interesting timber floor made-up of ancient recycled timbers. Another practical feature of the home is its large rumpus/games room which is often used as a 4th bedroom. There are also 2 full bathrooms along with the ensuite in the segregated master bedroom. Talia”s second splendid element is its breathtaking composite nature. After leaving the house block you head up over grazing paddocks & enter the first line of forest area behind the home. A track wends past another dam up to a very secluded BBQ hut tucked away under a canopy of varied eucalypts. The only sound you can hear comes from the vast array of birds & breezes in the treetops. This is “the” place to give the billy a couple of arching swings & sip on a rich brew. The track continues through the forest until you suddenly break into the rear open grazing paddocks. The views of the property”s rear sections are fantastic & there”s a highly elevated hill where you can look strait down our glorious Yass Valley. From here you cross the open land past another dam & enter Talia”s 2nd forest. A narrow vehicle track loops around the forest fringes through areas of timber & native grasses. Yes, its wonderful, & purely original! Time permitting it would be an experience to walk through the forest camera in hand ready to snap an echidna or colourful parrot. Talia has been managed by regime & ethos. Scrupulous paddock management regimes are complimented by an ethical preservation of our native forest environment. Essentially, Talia can be a distinctive income producing property with a lifestyle sustaining capacity. Talia “is” special. Notes: please understand that any open house exhibitions are designed to introduce buyers to the property, not provide comprehensive tours. Buyers wanting to experience all of Talia”s attractions will need to arrange a private inspection with the listing agent, many thanks.
