Your invitation to a life of tranquillity and natural beauty is calling. Overlooking a private lake, this glorious residence is discreetly tucked into the rural landscape surrounding it. Abundant shedding, horse facilities, plentiful spring water and gently rolling countryside await. Timeless elegance is evident here in what could easily be mistaken for a historic home. Surprisingly, construction was completed in 1986. A suitably impressive set of stone stairs leads to a grand entrance where intricate parquetry flooring sets the scene for what is to come. Lofty 3m ceilings, ornate cornices, and ceiling roses – all the original character features are here. Romantics will enjoy formal entertaining in the gracious front living room by the open fireplace. Practical souls will gravitate to the family lounge and the slow charm of a wood combustion heater. The bustle of family life and feeding the hordes is well placed in a solid timber kitchen. Divided from the dining area by a classic breakfast bar, this space enjoys superb garden and water views (as do all rooms across the front of the house). Sleeping quarters are elegant with the master enjoying direct access to its own private garden via double French doors. Both the ensuite and main bathroom retain the character of the homes period design. Fortunately, there is an abundance of built in robes & storage cabinetry plus a decent laundry equipped for farm life. The dappled shade of scenic gardens will quietly whisper their allure to you. Weary souls may disappear into the greenery, seeking solace in nature and its regenerative source. Sweeping lawns, tall trees and fragrant blossom's will speak to your senses. At the end of the day, wander down to the jetty and slip into the cool waters of the lake. Transcendental by design, it is a place to linger and reflect. Perfectly suited for equestrian enthusiasts, the property boasts three horse stables with day yards plus tack & feed shedding. Hone your craft in the purpose-built arena (approx. 40m x 20m) or simply go for a leisurely hack in your own backyard. The local dirt roads also provide endless riding pleasure. Suited to all manner of furry friends, the property offers lush pastures and gently rolling, useable land. Fencing is in excellent condition with seven well laid out paddocks. Given the natural springs, you will never worry about water for stock (or the garden). Resources include the spring fed lake, a small spring fed dam plus 30,000 gallons of tank water. Explore a haven for your hobbies in the workshop with 3 phase power available. Any extra toys or farm machinery will find a home in the implement shed.
