Some places make it easy to imagine a different pace of life. Morning coffee as the sun rises over green hills. Fresh fruit gathered from the garden. A summer swim in your own dam, followed by an evening around the firepit beneath a sky full of stars.
Set on approximately 10 private acres, just eight minutes from historic Milton village, 254A Evans Lane brings these simple pleasures together with a beautifully renovated home, enchanting gardens and the coast close by.
The sense of arrival begins along a sealed driveway bordered by native trees. Nestled amongst established plantings, the three-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully extended and renovated, preserving its welcoming country character while introducing modern comforts and spaces that invite you to settle in.
High ceilings and leafy outlooks lend an airy feel to the interiors, while a wood fire makes the spacious lounge a cosy gathering place through the cooler months. The kitchen sits at the heart of daily life, connecting with the living area and generous front deck.
Here, the northerly aspect and sweeping views across the grounds create a setting you will return to throughout the day. Watch and listen to the countryside stir with the sunrise as the calls of native birds drifts across the gardens. Share a leisurely lunch with friends or simply find a quiet chair and enjoy the outlook.
Three bedrooms, including one with an ensuite, are complemented by a main bathroom and separate toilet.
Across the grounds, there is room for both adventure and everyday enjoyment. The large dam, with its sandy beach, swimming pontoon and variety of fish, promises memorable summers spent by the water. Three paddocks provide space for equine interests, grazing and hobby farming, with plumbed troughs adding practical convenience.
Years of planting have created a wonderfully diverse edible garden, with more than 40 established fruit, nut and edible-leaf trees. Pick citrus, apples, figs, mangoes and mulberries, gather olives, or enjoy the seasonal offerings of pomegranates and hazelnuts. A generous chicken enclosure adds another dimension to this rewarding country lifestyle.
The greenhouse holds a particular surprise: a bath set amongst the leafy indoor garden with doors opening to the orchard skies, offering a secluded place to soak and unwind surrounded by greenery. As evening falls, the outdoor firepit provides another inviting spot to gather.
A separate garage/machinery shed with its own bathroom adds useful space for hobbies and creative projects, with a separated room space suitable for use as a home office or studio. Additional shedding and shipping container storage provide ample room for equipment, tools and rural pursuits.
Impressive, high-capacity off-grid solar power system with approximately 17.7 kW of solar generation, 8kVA Victron inverter and smart charge controllers, and 126.7 kWh of nominal industrial battery storage, including a substantial battery expansion in 2024. Household rainwater tanks (87,000L) and a separate dam-water supply for stock, gardens (13,500L) and fire protection (20,000L) support the property's lifestyle appeal with thoughtful infrastructure.
Milk Haus is approximately four minutes away, while Milton's cafés, restaurants, boutiques and live entertainment are around eight minutes from your door. Spend a morning tending the garden and the afternoon exploring nearby beaches and lakes, with Sydney and Canberra each approximately three hours away.
Whether you're passionate about horses, dream of growing your own produce, keeping a few animals or giving the family more room to roam, this is a property with the space, character and setting to make it happen.
