Designed and constructed with attention and timeless durability in 2013, this north-facing three-bedroom plus study residence delivers quality construction and practical rural living just 5km from Beechworth.
Energy efficiency is built into the fabric of the home. A 5-kilowatt solar system with generator backup, double glazing plus internal insulation throughout, and a whole-of-house hydronic heating system powered by a heat pump electric unit that also supplies the hot water. An instantaneous gas boost provides additional peace of mind. A large split system reverse cycle unit adds to the ease of operation. Come summer, the wrap-around veranda with its deciduous vines offers shade when it counts and light when you want it.
Inside, the large living area is well-proportioned and comfortable, while the kitchen is appointed with Miele and Belling appliances - a genuine working kitchen that reflects the lifestyle this property supports.
For those drawn to growing their own, the productive gardens are a highlight. A well-established vegetable garden with dedicated rotation beds sits alongside a mature orchard bearing plum, peach, apple, walnut, hazelnut and fig, complemented by boysenberry, strawberry, blueberry and raspberry. The groundwork has been done - this is a chemical free property you can step straight into.
Water security is well covered. Three tanks holding a combined 142,500 litres, backed by an ever-reliable subterranean bore, provide confidence through even the driest summers.
The shedding is equally practical - an 8m x 6m shed with an attached 6m x 4m machinery bay caters to storage, workshop needs, or small-scale equipment.
Framing all of this are spectacular rural views across the surrounding landscape, a reminder of why this part of the north-east continues to attract those seeking a genuine change of pace.
Whether you are drawn by the appeal of self-sufficiency, paddock-to-plate living, or simply the prospect of a quieter and more connected way of life, 170 Old Stanley Road presents a compelling and well-prepared opportunity.
