Live the self-sufficient life
Perched on a secluded hilltop with views for miles, this is your opportunity to live sustainably amidst your own home orchard, extensive vegetable gardens, with chickens, birdlife, deer and livestock on these rolling 10 acres.
The peace that envelops this property is broken only by the sound of birdsong and softly falling rain. Despite viewing on an overcast day, the beauty of the natural surroundings is clear and the house is light-filled, bright and airy.
Extensively renovated in 2017, you can feel the love that has been poured into this home. The expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living areas, present many alternative areas to relax in and admire the gardens and vista beyond. It’s easy to picture yourself enjoying a good book in the bay window seat near the fire in winter or soaking up the sun on the expansive wraparound deck in summer.
The kitchen features a walk-in pantry, ample storage space, a Miele dishwasher and electric Smeg oven with gas cooktop. A large island adds further storage and provides a great central area to gather around for informal meals.
There is ample space for entertaining both indoors and out with an impressive bespoke pizza oven built by the current owners adding something special to an evening in any season. The well-kept lawn provides awesome space for the kids to play sport and the surrounding garden features established cherry trees, an attractive stone retaining wall, walkway and the red roses that frame the house are simply eye-catching.
Insulated top to bottom and featuring thermal backed curtains as well as new woollen carpet, the home is kept cosy in winter by an efficient wood burner in the central living area.
All four bedrooms are accessible via a sunroom that leads out to the patio, providing another space for kicking back and watching the world go by. The sunroom is ideal for a second lounge space or playroom.
Overlooking the tidy gardens, the master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and modern ensuite. The family bathroom is very large with a semi-separate W/C, shower and bath with appealing tiled floor.
A handy office nook is tucked into the main living area and leads through to the large mudroom where you’ll find the laundry along with additional shower and W/C. With plenty of space for storing outdoor toys, boots and coats this space is a great way to keep little feet from trampling mud through the house. Accessible through this room is a clothesline and additional fenced area where you can admire the towering eucalyptus trees and wandering birdlife, quail, pheasants and the quirky morepork at dusk.
Much effort has been put into cultivating the productive vegetable garden beds which are fully irrigated. Add to this the home orchard, including a wide variety of fruit trees such as avocado, peach and apple and you have the means to become as selfsufficient as you’d like. The property also includes a double garage, large enough for a boat with additional workshop area. With Bayview village just 15 minutes’ drive away and Eskdale School close by, you have everything you need a short distance away while enjoying a secure feeling of privacy.
