We have all heard of tree changes and sea changes, but this gem of a lifestyle property gives you the opportunity to do both, in an environment that is nothing else but pure, unadulterated tranquility. Surrounded by 7.11 hectares of lush fields, antique stables, stock yards, paddocks and native tall timber, the home is a secluded retreat tucked away from the main road to avoid any interruption of peace by passing traffic.
Its location also provides access to ocean treats; with the idyllic scenes of both Ledge Beach and Nanarup just a few minutes’ drive away. All of this provides you with a life not only of leisure, but of good health and happiness as well- allowing you to work horses, keep stock, swim, craft, or simply just relax in this beautiful environment.
The home itself is part character, part quirky and all warmth.
Cottage style, with some refreshments and a whole lot of potential, the design features full length wraparound verandas to capture the rural views that surround it, allowing you to admire the birdlife, listen to the trees swish in the breeze and watch your contended pets graze amongst the rich pasture. The keen decorator’s eye will see the huge potential here for a dynamic yet budget makeover, creating a country chic retreat utilising upcycled finds and a few more expensive statement elements to enhance the existing character features of the home.
Stepping inside the home via the double length carport you are welcomed directly into the series of living areas starting with a lounge room with lush shag carpet, textured wallpaper and a wood fire. It leads around to the lino floored dining area which is accentuated by heavy timber awning windows, giving hearty character to the space.
An archway separates the space from an office room, handy for home business needs or family homework.
The kitchen, though older style, is highly functional and adopts the sort of warmth that only much cherished and much used homes have. Its heritage green and cream cabinets can be found both under the bench and overhead to provide plenty of storage and a gas oven and stove providing the cooking power.
Each of the homes three bedrooms are located down a central hallway, with the first being a large queen sized number with a full wall built in robe unit and textured wallpaper. It sits beside the bathroom which features a super deep bath (think; candles, champagne and bubble bath), mirrored medicine cabinet, toilet and vanity- the perfect candidate for a makeover.
The near new temperature control gas hot water system means you have control over the perfect shower, every time and adds extra weight to the fact that the home and stables are, unexpectedly, connected to scheme water.
The master bedroom is a retro, wood lined, king sized space with a huge window that provides an outlook over the rural views, a large storage cupboard and access through to the third queen size bedroom with full wall robes.
While the configuration of the home has been altered to suit the current family’s requirements, there is the opportunity to easily tweak it to suit your own needs.
Stepping outside via the function laundry, you find the newly installed raised decking area which steps down on either side to the paved patio space. The picket fence surrounded area gives the home much charm, and overlooks the homestead yard and paddocks.
Stretching out beyond the homestead, you find several holding yards, the pride of which is the expansive, rustic stables that steal your heart- even having been the subject of requests by photographers due to their antique beauty. There is also, a large extra height shed, dam, water tank, covered chook yard, aviary and nearby creek.
Just minutes from the Grammar school and only a 20 minute drive to town, exist here in pure happiness!
