Self-Sufficient Lifestyle, Magnificent Garden


You will be in awe as you make your way down the driveway amongst the most beautifully established gardens to this significant 327m2 (approximately) quality brick home with block base and tilt slab concrete floor between the two levels. Featuring four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large well-appointed kitchen complete with walk-in pantry and a scullery. There are large expansive north-facing decks that run the full length of the home with access from the dining, lounge and master bedroom. Downstairs has the second bathroom and two bedrooms. This area could easily be self-contained for extra family, guests or B&B. There is also a large rumpus/games room that has enough space for a full-size snooker table.

If it's sheds you're after then this property has ample. There is a large 12m x 9m garage/workshop that is pre-wired for 3 phase power and room for all your gear including a full-sized motorhome. There is also a half-round barn shed and a cute railway carriage. There are 2 tunnel houses and a propagation polyhouse. To complete the out buildings is a bespoke pizza shed with a large built in pizza oven and outdoor area with large rustic table.

It's hard to take your eyes off the magnificent garden that has been a highlight of many garden tours. The soil here is arguably the very best money can buy. There is an excellent orchard with 150+ fruit trees and a very well stocked vegie garden. Committed to environmentally friendly practices, the owners have made a conscious effort not to use any harmful chemicals or sprays in their gardens. Furthermore, the property is located in a 'spray sensitive zone', which offers an additional layer of protection against harmful chemicals and ensures the ongoing health and vitality of the gardens. This property is set up to be self-sufficient or you can even provide an income as the current owners have been supplying the local markets. Alternatively, you can dial things back a bit and just enjoy the current owner's hard work.
