This seriously charming 1905 cottage is in excellent condition and is a credit to its current owners. Nestled in a picturesque rural and forest setting, it sits on a total of 13 acres (5.2 ha) comprising of 2 separate titles. One title is 8 acres with the cottage, outbuildings and a small waratah flower plantation. The other 5 acres comes with a barn/workshop, a 3 bedroom sleep-out/shack and a well set-up vegetable garden & chook pen.
This is a wonderful little hobby farm tucked away with complete privacy. There is a good mix of improved pasture & bush. Completely fenced, it is ready to go for stock or a few alpacas. Each title comes with its own dam providing plenty of water and there is a stock loading ramp for convenience.
The cottage is very cute, yet it offers 3 bedrooms & 2 living areas with an open plan kitchen/dining and has a lovely covered outdoor entertaining overlooking the property. You will be snug in the cooler months with the choice of a wood fire or a reverse cycle air-conditioner. The kitchen is well set-up with a walk in pantry and even has a dishwasher. The lounge is cosy and with the built in shelves, all your favourite books will be right there on hand. The covered entertaining is accessed straight from the kitchen/dining and provides a fantastic spot to sit back and relax or perfect for entertaining friends of an evening in the warmer months.
The separate shack has its own access and is fully approved as a sleep-out offering 3 good sized bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet and an open plan living. Kept snug with a wood heater, this would be ideal for guests, family or teenager’s palace.
The shack is attached to the old timber barn which is accessed from the other side and perfect as a workshop.
The veggie gardens are well set-up. Enclosed to keep the plentiful wildlife at bay including raised beds and fully netted areas as well as a very handy 6x3m garden shed. The chickens have their house and pen and there is even a pen ready for the family pig.
Be self-sufficient with the chickens producing you eggs and a cow for milk, grow your own veggies and enjoy the true country life that this property can offer.
