Set on approximately 8 hectares (20 acres) in an elevated Carwoola position, 174 Widgiewa Road offers an impressive combination of space, privacy and versatility, complemented by spectacular views across the surrounding countryside and mountain ranges.
The spacious single-level residence features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, along with multiple living areas, a dedicated gym and separate kids' room/study. Character sandstone masonry, French doors, timber-lined ceilings and exposed beams bring warmth to the home, while two slow-combustion wood fireplaces add comfort and character during the cooler months.
At the heart of the home, the generous kitchen offers excellent bench and storage space, multiple cooking appliances and a walk-in pantry, connecting naturally with the family and dining areas. A 6.6kW solar system and solar hot water further complement the home's rural lifestyle credentials.
Wide verandahs embrace the home and make the most of its peaceful setting. Outdoors, a swim spa provides another place to relax and unwind, while the separate covered gazebo is perfectly positioned to enjoy the property's beautiful panoramic outlook.
A truly unique feature is the original 1963 railway carriage, approximately 18 metres long, creatively converted into a charming one-bedroom living retreat with living area, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Full of character and individuality, it offers a distinctive space for guests, extended family or other flexible uses, subject to relevant approvals.
For those requiring serious workspace or storage, the property includes a substantial workshop/warehouse measuring approximately 16m x 10m with an additional 10m x 10m extension, previously used as a furniture workshop. Additional garaging, covered storage and a 20ft shipping container provide further flexibility for vehicles, machinery, equipment and hobbies.
The acreage is fully fenced and divided into two separate paddocks with lockable gates, complemented by solar-powered automatic entry gates, a large dam, chicken coop and substantial water storage.
