This blissful rural retreat is set on a beautifully treed block with a portion of the property included in a designated Koala habitat enabling regular sightings of the native residents.

The house yard covers 2.5 acres, having flowering shrubs and manicured lawns nestled amid 27 Jacaranda trees providing a relaxing atmosphere and intimate setting for elaborate gatherings. The grounds are serviced by an equipped bore pumping to a 30,000L poly tank that gravity feeds to the grounds. The bore also supplies water to the three toilets in the residence as well as being connected to a computerized watering system complete with pop-up sprinklers. A further 75,000L of rainwater storage plus town water (that has never been used) makes for easy management. This incredible property is only an easy walk to the primary school and there is a bus for secondary schooling.

A 32sq residence has 4 generous bedrooms (all built-in) with the main having a walk-in robe plus ensuite. The kitchen is extremely bright and spacious featuring a 6 burner Smeg gas top/electric oven, Blanco dishwasher, breakfast nook and an adjoining scullery. The banquet sized formal dining room is accentuated by the Crows Ash polished flooring, 10’6” ceilings and an open fire place. The living room, also with an open fireplace, overlooks the leafy colorful gardens taking in the exhilarating rural views to Gowrie Mountain and beyond. A sizeable sunroom/family room, with a northerly aspect and 2 walls of window space, enjoys the winter sun and lush foliage. This magnificent residence is completed by 2 family bathrooms, a large office with an adjoining utility room which opens to a rear verandah and 3 car accommodations.

Outside features include a large historical slab finished stable, 10x10m colorbond shed with concrete floor, power and sliding doors to accommodate trucks, caravan etc. plus a recently installed 5,170 watt solar system with 22SW235 panels with a SB5000TL string inverter and digital metering.

With Council approval, this may be an excellent venue for a Bed & Breakfast because of its very close proximity to the “Jondaryan Woolshed”. The western wing, back verandah, scullery and office (with updating) could be the hosts living area. This would leave the bedroom wing with bathrooms to be utilized as accommodation for guests who would have access to the lounge/dining and sunroom. The Jondaryan Woolshed is increasing in popularity as a great venue for functions and as a tourist attraction.

The garden at “Yarran” has historic significance having been designed by Jocelyn Brown who was a noted garden designer in the North Sydney area in the 40′s and 50′s. She was a protege of Edna Walling. The current owners have all the early garden plans and early photos, etc. You may be able to open it to the public for a small fee to tie in with the Woolshed.

If you are not a self-funded retiree looking for something to keep you occupied or someone interested in opening a B&B, this incredible property would fulfil your every dream for a beautiful and tranquil lifestyle.
