This exceptional new listing holds a special place in the hearts of its current owners. A visit will quickly reveal why: 40 acres, carefully nurtured over the past 20 years, provide a haven for native wildlife. Nestled within this slice of Australiana paradise is a charming period cottage brimming with character.
A meticulously crafted drystone wall—a true labour of love—welcomes you to 462 Zig Zag Road. The home, set at the end of a long driveway, is elevated behind the established house yard, offering a sense of privacy and tranquility.
In classic country style, a wide, decked verandah invites you to sit back and take in the countryside views and starry nights. With an abundance of wildlife, this spot could easily inspire an interest in birdwatching!
Inside, the floor plan is anything but conventional, offering a series of intimate, peaceful spaces characteristic of this era. The eat-in kitchen comes equipped with an Aga, perfect for slow cooking. The front lounge room is sure to be a cosy gathering point in cooler months, featuring an impressive, exposed brick fireplace with a wood heater. Original lead-light windows, some in soft pink hues, sash windows and timber-lined walls add to the home’s warmth and charm. It’s a place that instantly feels like home.
There are 3 bedrooms, with the main bedroom offering a dressing room, while 2 others open out onto a sunny dining room with an oversized window, also a prime position to enjoy a cuppa. All bedrooms are serviced by a family sized bathroom complete with both a separate bath and shower.
This home is as loveable as it is liveable, with plenty of potential for modern updates and an open plan renovation if desired. A powered studio adjoining the house adds flexibility to the floor plan, offering potential as an additional bedroom, creative space or home office.
The land is heavily treed with gorgeous gums, all carefully selected and local to the region, forming a nature belt that supports a thriving ecosystem. Cuthberts Creek runs through the northern section of the property where locals have sighted platypuses. There are 2 tree-lined dams, one with a pump that services the water tanks and an extra-large feature dam welcoming wildlife aplenty.
Valuable infrastructure includes an open hay shed, cattle yard, chook shed (needing some TLC), a large gated machinery shed with wood storage area and a 4 car carport.
