Where the creek babbles and the birds sing, where you loose a breath and fully relax, this country retreat nestled in nature invites you home. A tranquil place of rare privacy and serenity, hidden from the road and neighbours, it is a discovery of place and lifestyle unlike any other. Set on over one acre (1,878m2 on title plus 2,400m2 leased crown land), the property gently flows to the banks of Chum Creek, with its winding cascades, rocky pools, and resident platypus and fish. Kangaroos bound and fallow deer graze in distant paddocks, while regular visitors include wombats, echidnas, parrots, and ducks, all drawn to the same calm and seclusion that you will soon enjoy.
The character-filled home is thoughtfully positioned to embrace nature’s beauty, wrapped in verandahs and windows that frame scenic outlooks at every opportunity. With soaring ceilings above, the interiors draw you in with a sense of awe that is warmly welcoming.
Spacious living areas are ideally arranged across the single-level layout, with four bedrooms providing family flexibility. The skylit lounge, warmed by a cosy wood fire, overlooks the dining and kitchen and creates the perfect family hub. The kitchen is well-equipped with a 4-burner gas cooktop, electric under-bench oven, dishwasher, corner pantry, and excellent storage.
Through double doors, a second living room awaits. Its tall ceilings enhance the sense of space, while a sliding door opens to the verandah and garden, inviting moments of play or pondering beneath the birch and flowering trees.
Along the hallway, the bedrooms offer peaceful rest. The master features a renovated ensuite and walk-in robe, while the main bathroom includes an indulgent claw foot bath. A rumpus or retreat at the end of the hall is a fun zone for kids, with room to make a fifth bedroom or home office. With direct access to the double carport, this area can also double as an entertaining space.
Other features of the home include reverse cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, a walk-in linen closet beside the laundry, and a workshop with bench and shelving included.
This is a home that needs to be experienced to truly appreciate all that it offers: the space, the solitude, and the serenity. With family-friendly flexibility, the opportunity for work-life balance, and room to embrace a slower pace, this private retreat offers a genuine escape into nature.
