After youve arrived via a circular drive encircling marvelous mature trees, you will find yourself instantly immersed in the expansive, vibrant personality of a warm and welcoming property. Nurtured and enhanced by its present artist owners, on a jam-packed one acre parcel, with verdant views across productive neighbouring farmland, this is clearly a home.
Its story began in the 1940s, as an original farm house on a much larger parcel. Over the years, the land around the house has contracted as the house itself has grown, and the result today is a comfortable, spacious, colourful elegance. Tall ceilings and long, broad rooms branch out from a central walkway to form this living canvas. Big, comfy couches, chunky timber dressers and book shelves accompany a myriad of paintings and hangings, as if to dare you to say the rooms wont fit my furniture
they will. There are 3 bigger than Ben Hur bedrooms, divisible if needed, to complement the two great living spaces, the kitchen and the 5-metre bathroom. Hand-selected tiles and checker plate splash backs sit comfortably with timber bench tops and oodles of cupboards. Theres a 2nd toilet (in the form of a quirky powder room), and a long utiilty room
cum
laundry that tosses its head at traditional wash house treatments.
The light is soft, and particularly entrancing at twilight time, when the suns last rays sneak inside for a kiss goodnight, casting a warm glow ahead of a cosy evening in. A mix of good insulation, wood fired heating, fitted gas and electric heaters, ceiling fans, and verandas control the climate indoors. Timber and tiled floors, painted walls and big picture windows complete the ambience.
Outside, an insulated and powered studio sits close to the house for comfort. A selection of sheds, 9m, 8m and 7m long, provide a level of storage to suit most demands, and a 3 bay farm style carport offers a home to the motored family pets.
There is a fabulous chook run, a selection of fruit trees, a profuse seasonal garden, verandas and decks for entertaining and shelter, plenty of water in tanks, and pretty-well level land to make the country life as easy as you want it to be. Come and be welcomed.
