A property like this... well, we don't think there is one. So rare and special, it must be seen to be appreciated and lived to be experienced.
It is a place to deeply connect with nature that nurtures your soul, shaping you and your life. Where Australian wildlife roams freely, Bourkes Creek trickles steadily along every day, and the tranquility is a silence you never knew you needed.
A long driveway winds through bushland, past fern gullies and open pasture lined with towering mountain ash trees, leading to the hilltop where the distinguished sandstone residence proudly awaits in absolute privacy.
Designed and renovated to harmonise with the surrounds, the home features extensive windows that bring the outdoors in at every opportunity, earthy tones and textures that echo the environment, and a sprawling layout with high ceilings that reflects the expanse of the property, which feels enviably endless.
Open living at the home's centre brings everyone together. It encompasses the fireside lounge, dining and kitchen, framing the northerly aspect over the new deck and pond, while a second living room behind double doors offers more room for moments to relax. The kitchen's stone benches and Bosch appliances, including a five-burner induction cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher, follow the refined style of the home's character.
Zoned bedrooms are presented in two separate wings, with the spacious main bedroom at one end offering an understated, luxurious escape; its elegant ensuite invites calm with a freestanding bath at the corner window, two stone basins atop a long vanity, a walk-in shower and floor-to-ceiling tiling. Three further bedrooms share a beautifully tiled family bathroom that offers a walk-in shower, a bath, hardwood vanity, toilet and brushed gold tapware. A huge laundry room and mudroom offer flexibility for a potential fifth bedroom/laundry arrangement, and at the end of the hall there is internal access to the oversized double garage with twin remote doors.
Cleverly balancing generous space with welcoming comfort, the home features considered additions and quality appointments. A large wood heater, ducted heating, air conditioning, external electric shutters, a 10.56kW solar system with 24kWh battery storage, EV charger, energy-efficient heat pump hot water system, sprinkler system, large water tanks and three dams give you the freedom to live a more sustainable, almost off-grid lifestyle.
Beyond the established infrastructure, including two substantial powered sheds, a woodshed, an animal enclosure, nine footbridges and a water pump at the creek, as well as cleared tracks, two road access points, fencing and three dams, the naturally forested land is wonderfully manageable. Meander undisturbed through the varied biotopes, which display a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Eagles and parrots soar in the skies, koalas nibble gum leaves, pobblebonk frogs sing in the dam and deer roll around in the spring-fed wallow. Echidnas, lyrebirds, wombats, lizards, and kangaroos also share the land, making every day a truly unique experience.
Experience a more peaceful way of life surrounded by the sounds of nature, away from the noise of town yet just a ten-minute drive to Emerald and Cockatoo. The freedom of space, the quality of an established residence and the privacy of your own sanctuary — this is an extraordinary place that will give you a new understanding of what home can be.
