Historically known as the main homestead for a vast pastoral holding, "Ivanhoe" is today bordered by 15.32 premium hectares of gently sloping countryside. Sympathetically renovated and extended, the property includes a 2 storey stone barn with guest house plus other impressive shedding & solar. Sweeping lawns and mature gardens frame this gracious home and outbuildings nestled amid blue ribbon countryside. With a glorious outlook in every direction, there is much to absorb in a stunning property such as this. Classic in every way, the home is resplendent with a wide central hallway and vast ceilings. The grand proportions of every room are what we expect in homes of this era. Fancy ceiling roses, high skirting boards and beautiful old fire place surrounds of marble or timber. Every detail from the original leadlight to the wide return verandahs with ornate lacework has been respectfully maintained. A sympathetic stone extension incorporates a stunning kitchen and open plan living area. A beautiful "Falcon" free standing cooker takes pride of place in a crisp white kitchen with stone bench tops and quality appliances. Standing at the window, you will easily observe your valuable stock without leaving the house. It's the space where everyone will gather for family, food and fun times. Adjoining are the practical spaces of a renovated bathroom with luxurious tub and an attractive, yet functional laundry plus 4 large bedrooms. Lazy evenings in front of a roaring open fire will be enjoyed in the spacious lounge or perhaps you might like to entertain those you love in the formal dining room. Wine aficionado's will not be able to resist the cellar below the dining room and its old world charm. Rustic steps lead to a cool, dry space perfect for resting a few precious bottles for those special occasions. Step outside to discover many more key features at this remarkable property. Interesting and historical, the 2 storey stone barn complex is a fascinating building. Long ago, a portion was converted to guest accommodation.
