This extraordinary 17.75 acre property, situated only a few minutes drive from Blackheath, has a beautiful rural feel to it, and a sense of being miles away from everything.
The undeniable quality of this north-facing property starts at the solar powered electronic gates. Commandingly set on the gentle rise of the land, the entry to this beautiful home is through bespoke stained glass doors by well known local artist Terence Plowright. From the generous entry, the living space opens out to a huge open plan area, made cosy by a large slow combustion wood heater and hydronic central heating. A long bank of double glazed floor to ceiling windows allows the sun to stream across the beautiful blackbutt timber floors and puts at centre stage the outstanding panoramic views of the property and beyond to the dramatic cliff escarpments of Blackheath. The warm and neutral tones of the interior extend to the quality kitchen, handcrafted from recycled hardwood. Upstairs is the master bedroom, a huge room with large picture windows (where the escarpment views are especially captivating) complete with a stunning ensuite.
Located on sought-after Shipley Plateau, this property is a pleasing combination of pasture improved arable land and sections of native bush. On the practical side, everything has been carefully thought of including a four car garage that could be converted for other purposes (subject to council approval - electrical and plumbing work already in place), accessed via an undercover breezeway. There is a spring fed dam, town water and power, and a 30,000 litre rainwater tank.
Thoughtfully designed utilising the very best in thermal efficient technology, this three bedroom contemporary home has a relaxed ease that is instantly welcoming and a delight on every level.
