Where a private homestead meets an easy country lifestyle - a Harkaway home on 4.4 north-facing acres at the quiet end of a two-home street in Murrumbateman's Merryville Estate, freshly painted inside and out and ready to enjoy.
Welcome home, to 3 Oat Place, Murrumbateman.
It is a home that lives easily. Beneath high ceilings, open-plan living opens through French doors to the wraparound verandah at every turn - a country kitchen with stone benchtops, an island and a walk-in pantry at its heart, a formal living room warmed by a wood fire, and a family room that frames the green paddocks beyond. The four bedrooms sit privately away, the primary with a walk-in robe and ensuite; and with hardwood floors, ducted zoned comfort and a fresh coat of paint inside and out, the home is ready the day you arrive.
Spend time here and it is the calm that stays with you - one of only two homes on the street, north-facing on 4.4 acres of established gardens and orchard. A wraparound verandah and a broad covered deck wrap the home in outdoor room - close to two hundred square metres of it - set for long lunches and slow evenings over the paddocks, while an invisible dog fence is already in for the family pet. The kind of place you settle into and don't look back.
For the working side of country life, a large shed with enclosed bays and a carport take the cars, the machinery and the projects, while a 13.3-kilowatt solar system and around 90,000 litres of water keep the running costs low and the gardens green. And it is all close: minutes to the Murrumbateman village and the cellar doors, around 15 minutes to the ACT border, and half an hour to Canberra.
3 Oat Place will suit a family wanting room and privacy in equal measure - and appeal equally to anyone after a quieter life of gardens, verandahs and long country evenings. Either way, this is an exceptional home, ready for its next custodians.
Take the verandah at golden hour, let the dog run, and settle in.
