THE HOMESTEAD
Lovingly and faithfully restored, the 4 bedroom “Carinya” homestead features all the delightful touches you would hope to find in a weatherboard homestead of this era.
High-roofed, wrap-around-verandahs offer numerous places to enjoy seasonal sunshine or shade, summer breezes and stunning rural views over the property to Gulaga (mother mountain) in the north.
Breathtakingly high ceilings of 14' add a generosity of space throughout the home, as well as a feeling of opulence with their decorative pressed metal ceilings and cornices. Open fireplaces feature ornate timber mantlepieces in many rooms, and add charm and history, as well as the polished hardwood floors throughout, and a bathroom featuring a deep, cast iron, clawfoot-bath.
The home also incorporates all the modern comforts you would wish for, including a designer kitchen (with 3 metre stone, island-bench and 5 burner Smeg gas/electric oven), fully ducted air conditioning/heating and extensive solar power energy system. The ducted heating/cooling system is powered extensively via the solar power system.
THE SHED
Fantastically useful for a multitude of purposes, this colorbond shed has concrete floors, high ceilings and a massive area of 400m2 with 3 phase power.
THE FARM & INFRASTRUCTURE
The farm comprises 166 acres, mostly pasture improved rolling hills of rich soils, with some sections of bush, and strategic areas of replanting (4,000 native trees and shrubs). Water supply is excellent with 4 dams, including a large spring-fed dam and the property also has a rural connection to town water.
Extensively and thoughtfully established, the property is divided into 14 paddocks (all watered) and strategically linked via fenced laneways
THE LIFESTYLE
• The Country Life
Enjoy the benefits of a healthy country lifestyle with an orchard, chook pen, vegetable patch and ornamental gardens and shrubs surrounding the homestead, as well as recent tree plantings starting to come to establishment. Cobargo rural village is only 5 minutes' drive away and offers a great small country town, community feel.
• The Coastal Recreation
Within 15 minutes' drive, is the delightful small coastal village of Bermagui with a multitude of delights to sample; from its beaches and surrounding national parks and lakes to its surprisingly sophisticated amenities of regional food, local seafood, cafes, restaurants, and shops.
You can even keep a boat in the shed (as the owners do) ready to launch to the ocean from Bermagui Harbour or fish at nearby Wallaga Lake.
