The house:
North facing and built to a passive solar design, the main house offers four generous bedrooms, plus a mezzanine office with separate access.
The three stylish bathrooms include two ensuites, plus an outdoor bath tucked away on its own sheltered deck.
The contemporary kitchen and dining area affords views across the expansive front lawn and encompasses a sit-up bench, lava stone countertops, wall oven, 900mm gas cook top, dishwasher and sage feature tiling. A large adjoining laundry/mudroom provides excellent additional storage.
There are three large, separate living areas here within an internal footprint which lends itself to multi-generational or dual living. They all offer peaceful country outlooks: one boasts a wood-burning fire and the others lead out through sliding doors to spacious external entertaining decks.
Temperature is controlled through split-system air conditioning, while flyscreens and ceiling fans throughout allow the country breezes to circulate. Utility costs are low thanks to a 6.6kW solar power system, a solar hot water set-up, 40,000L of filtered tank water and a bore supplying drinkable spring water.
The land and infrastructure:
202 Gumboil Road is sheltered from high winds by the surrounding hills, and sits within its own elevated, national park-like environment.
It embraces an incredible array of animal and plant life. Two permanent creeks with waterfalls run through the property and the spring-fed dam is a haven for water birds. Wallabies and kangaroos are frequent visitors, and the property attracts an array of dragonflies, butterflies and birdlife.
Trails run throughout the acreage, creating scope for bike and motocross courses, or just the perfect environment for secluded bush walks.
Close to the house, cleared level lawns offer perfect runaround space for pets and children, and a large fenced paddock with shelter is home to Cheesecake, Cha Cha, Peanut and Butter - four Nigerian dwarf goats potentially among the property's inclusions!
The orchard fruit and nut trees include: mango x 16, banana x 12, persimmon x 5, mandarin x 3, orange x 3, macadamia x 3, banya pine x 3, cherry x 2, pecan x 2, apple x 2, lime x 2, lemon, pomegranate, pomelo, fig, guava, dragon fruit, lychee, ice cream bean tree, lillypilly and Brazilian cherry.
The property's bore provides unlimited spring water for watering, and the fenced food forest includes a series of herb and veggie beds delivering a regular harvest.
Outbuildings include a 3.8 x 6m secured shed and mower/car shelter, plus a 3 x 3m garden shed. A double car port adjoins the main house.
