From the road, this country property slopes gently up towards the house, set high at the rear it enjoys stunning views of the small Shiraz vineyard, fruit trees and lush lower paddocks where horses (and an emu) graze happily.
Most of the home’s living areas are downstairs and include formal lounge and dining rooms, and an open kitchen and meals area warmed by a central slow combustion fire. The lounge is a comfortable room with carpet, ceiling roses and a reverse cycle air-conditioner. There’s a convenient shoppers’ entry from the 3-bay carport into the kitchen, which has an electric oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher, built-in pantry and doors that open out to the rear alfresco patio.
Fully enclosable by café blinds, the crowning glory of this fabulous outdoor room is the attractive brick pizza oven that makes lazy weekend catering a breeze. Sip on a glass of homemade Shiraz while prepping your pizzas on the timber bench next to the sink and let the fire work its magic to create a toasty warm ambience during winter. Alternatively, throw open the café blinds in summer to catch the breezes through this seasonally versatile space. If you prefer the view, walk around the verandah to the elevated front patio to catch the spectacular summer sunsets.
There is one bedroom, a bathroom and laundry with ample storage downstairs but the remaining three bedrooms enjoy even better views across the surrounding hills from the second storey. Vaulted angular ceilings and dormer windows at the front give it a lovely cottage feel and there’s a central activity space for relaxing that opens out to a rear timber balcony where you can sit and soak up the morning sun. The carpeted bedrooms all have built-in robes with a semi-ensuite adjoining the large master bedroom.
To the side of the house there is an excellent three-phase powered workshop, open machinery and garden sheds, and a large steel rainwater tank. It would be a shame to let those Shiraz (and table) grapes go to waste so basic winemaking equipment, a tractor and various implements are available to sweeten the deal even further. Most of the gardens and lawn immediately surrounding the house are reticulated, plus there is a plethora of fruit trees, a mature succulent feature garden, fenced vegetable patch and mini shade house as well.
This property, located in El Caballo Heights on the border of Wooroloo close to the resort and golf course, is far enough from the city to see the stars properly but close enough to commute. This enchanting setting plus the overall feel and appeal of “Shiraz Cottage” is life enhancing. Begin your new life today.
