Located in the prestigious Jiparu Estate just 20 minutes from the ACT, 40 Jiparu Drive is a property with enormous potential.
Whilst the main residence wasn't completed the owners cleverly established the property as an enjoyable interim lifestyle retreat.
Firstly, the charming 184m2 Hampton's style studio/garage features 2 20m2 upper level bedrooms with raked ceilings and garden views, a fully equipped Hampton's style kitchen with a gas cooktop, Dublin sink and crisp white French café tiles as splashbacks, a living/dining area and a beautifully appointed bathroom. All of this links to a north facing Juliette balcony.
The lower converted garage area is ideal is fully lined and configured as 1 large living space, a laundry, shower and toilet room. This lower level has French door access to a raised timber pergola deck fringed with bird packed private gardens.
A sensational in-ground swimming pool set in sandstone tiles and bordered by a frameless glass fence separates the Hampton's studio from one of the best outside entertaining venues in the region.
There's a whopping 168m2 of semi-enclosed alfresco enjoyment!
The event-level cooking facilities include a firebrick pizza oven, electric hotplate, gas BBQ, tri-door under counter wine/general fridge, unconnected dishwasher and 3 avanti air extractor fans. The house grade kitchen benches are capped with 40mm stone tops and there's a large island bench with washup facilities.
Also, the area has downlights, a ceiling fan, circuitry provision for a future spa and sauna and a fan-forced combustion heater.
Farm infrastructure includes a 12m x 5m workshop shed, 3 water tanks and a 10Kw solar power installation.
The level 2.896 acre block is mostly bordered by sheltering evergreen tree lines and nicely gardened. There's room for family fun, keeping a pony or alpacas, and extending the already established gardens.
Well irrigated, the planned gardens include ornamental and fruit production trees, many shrubs/annuals and a fabulous 15m x 11m bird wire netted vegetable garden. There's even a paved and sheltered fire pit area.
Along with all of this, a concrete house pad was poured during 2020 to accommodate a spacious Hampton's style home that was never completed.
Essentially, 40 Jiparu is a compelling choice for someone wanting a uniquely established property with a smaller and character filled residence.
Whether you want to use 40 Jiparu as your full time residence or a half-way house whilst you build a larger home, this property can easily take care of your needs.
Yes, it would be a great weekend retreat too.
