This attractively styled four bedroom cottage is quite a find! Located less than 40km from the Defence Headquarters (HQJOC) off the Kings Highway, just 15 minutes from Bungendore and Braidwood makes commuting to Canberra and Queanbeyan a breeze.
The homestead sits on approximately 6 cleared hectares, overlooking a nearby valley with a large forest and creek. Step inside via the entrance hall, with room for jackets and shoes. Two separate living areas make the home highly suitable for sharing between two parties if desired, with the well-appointed kitchen as the central meeting point. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with ensuite to the master. Large windows throughout the building provide lovely views and let in lots of light. The house is perfectly orientated to capture the Northern sun in Winter and remain cool in Summer. As well as the slow combustion wood fire, there is a reverse cycle split system for instant warmth or cooling. There are two house tanks with a total capacity of 55,000 litres.
The West wall boasts a roomy custom-built cat enclosure doubling as a handy place for potted plants needing some shade. It could also be used for small dogs or as an aviary.
The bedrooms are carpeted and have inbuilt wardrobes. Floating timber lookalike flooring in the remaining areas outside the two bathrooms, is easy to clean and adds to the country charme of this place.
Outside the wooden post and rail fence around the garden, the property is divided in five paddocks with quality fencing and cyclone gates. A roomy stable open to the North and a smaller East facing shelter, with a dividable holding yard and gates offer protection for horses or other livestock. A large outbuilding backs on to the stables to accommodate two vehicles with extra storage space. The roof water of both is collected in a 2200 litres water tank and can be directed into a trough (bathtub) at the fence. A garden shed next to the house allows for additional storage.
The sizeable dam is a definite feature of this place and is accessible from two paddocks. There is a pump and ducting to the garden fence. If you are looking for an attractive and comfortable retreat on a picturesque block of manageable size, well set up for horses or alpacas, inspecting this property is a must.
