This property must be seen to fully appreciate…it is truly impossible to do its grandeur justice with mere words!
This large home is set on 100 (yes 100 acres!) of prime real estate within sight of the Eppalock spillway and has been built with love- no expense has been spared to make this property unique! It could remain as it is, an amazing family home with options to use the land for agriculture (it is presently set up for cattle) but it would also have the potential to create boutique accommodation, a wellness resort or even to establish a winery (STCA). Much of the infrastructure is already there for an entrepreneurial individual or company looking for such an opportunity!
The tranquillity and privacy of the house is protected by a sweeping 2km of asphalt driveway, accessed by a gateway built of gigantic sandstone blocks- just a taste of the delights in store.
As you weave along the drive you pass a large dam, access another huge stock gate and shedding before you arrive at the home which sits high on its own hill- and the views are breathtaking! It is hard to know where to look – picturesque natural terrain across to the Eppalock spillway, surrounding basalt
escarpments that shelter the property, down to the river frontage at the bottom or to the man made marvels around the house!
Firstly, to the home itself- the executive style house has sweeping verandas that make the most of the truly spectacular views. The glass entrance door leads into a foyer that opens to a sitting room off to the left and a formal lounge room with a bay window to the right.
Throughout the home you will find tasteful lighting, quality window furnishings and splashes of colour to highlight feature walls. High ceilings add to the feeling of spaciousness.
From the foyer you proceed to a tiled open plan kitchen/ family area which features a curved wall behind the dining room.
The kitchen is fully tiled with a walk in pantry, a large Technika 900mm electric oven, gas hotplates, dishwasher and granite bench tops.
If you continue along the passage to the left you find a large powder room which can also be accessed from the alfresco/bar area. If you turn to the right from the powder room you enter the huge 5mx5m master bedroom with BIR AND a 4.5m WIR and a mammoth ensuite with granite bench tops. The other 3 generous sized bedrooms are at the opposite end of the house. Bedroom 2 and 3 have BIR whilst Bedroom 4 also has a WIR and access to the outside gardens through a sliding glass door. It also overlooks a man made WATERFALL!
There is a large laundry with a sliding door to outside and a storage area with 2 doors of linen cupboard and a single door of multipurpose storage . This end of the house also has the convenience of the family bathroom with a separate toilet. Once again you won’t believe the spectacular views from the bath!!
Ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling make all the other comforts enjoyable all year round!
Outside…once again it is hard to know where to look or where to start! Attached to the back of the house is the first of the entertaining areas. The alfresco is approx. 18m x 8m and incorporates a built in timber bar, a BBQ and a majestic wooden table. In fact it is the use of rock, timber and natural materials that give this property such an aura of uniqueness and make it so awe inspiring! From here the views sweep across the hills, where you may literally watch the eagles soar!
A home office (could be reception area) is attached to the double carport. It has a solid fuel heater and mass of storage.
From the alfresco area you are immediately drawn to the pristine in ground pool. It is accessed by a cypress pine walkway from the landscaped garden (that is fully lit and connected to a sound system.)
Once past the pool there is another elevated freestanding timber entertaining area (almost the equivalent of an enormous tree house) that commands views of the spillway and the river.
The remainder of the garden on this side houses another free standing pergola, stonework and to the side of the carport a large fishpond, including sizable fish and water plants and all the lawns are under a sprinkler system.
For those prepared to look past the house and its immediate surrounds, there is an immense and very well setup infrastructure that could be used for a variety of purposes.
Firstly there is a huge 19mx10m colorbond shed with a 3.5m skillion to one side.
It has a carport sized to fit four cars and a floor to ceiling aviary encloses the end of the carport.
It has 3 phase power and a phone and alarm system.
Water is provided via a pump from the river (water right) to a 40000L tank for the garden which can then be pumped around the property by a variable speed pump. There are 2x 40000L tanks of rainwater off the house and another off this shed.
