Welcome to Whispering Waters – a house for all seasons. It’s rare to find a property with two creeks, a granny flat, workshop, pool, a vineyard and solid granite homestead all on a private and potentially sub-dividable R5 zoned 5 acre lot, but it is even more special to find one that is only a short walk to the village center and two schools.
The property gets its name from the indigenous word Eungai which means whispering waters. Only an approximate 25 minute drive to the airport and a few minutes walk along the heritage trail to the town center, the 5 acre lot is tucked away from the road and neighbors while providing a private haven amongst the ample fruit trees, wildflowers and native trees. Entering whispering waters brings you over the Eungai Creek water fall which flows into the Nyaania Creek along the northern side of the property. There is also plenty of room for the dogs to run around and part of the property is fenced.
Entering through the solid timbre front door brings you to the grand entrance and the lounge with its open fireplace and its collection of fossils, banded iron and opals. The large open plan kitchen contains beautiful orthoclase pegmatite granite bench tops and high end appliances, and together with the dining area is well lit by natural light and flows out onto the large verandah with a majestic aspect over the land and the ample local bird life. Since the historic homestead was built in the early 50′s it has caught the eye of some notable citizens including a University Professor and a District Court Judge
The eastern wing of the home contains 4 bedrooms, the laundry and an office/activity area. The old staircase once belonged in an old pub and brings you to the spacious private master suite. You really feel like you are away from the rest of the world when you spend time in this part of the home.
Next to the house is the lawn and pool and a perfect play area for the kids, as well as the garage and granny flat. The self contained granny flat can also be used as a studio or a teenage retreat and has its own double carport. The amazing workshop has a large surrounding area ideal for parking multiple vehicles like boats, caravans, or even a race car! There is a quality bore which is complimented by the scheme water and feeds the reticulation system.
There is also the productive aspect of this property. There are 2 fig trees, a quince tree, 2 peach trees, a mulberry bush, 5 olive trees, a veggie patch, vineyard and a hen house. All of this provides natural recreational and productive activity for a healthy lifestyle.
