Positively parklike, this stunning lifestyle property sprawled across 1.63 hectares (or 4 acres) of land is the ultimate in privacy and serenity. The established canopy of mature specimen trees is underplanted with the most magnificent garden beds, a true pleasure in every passing season, and complemented by large sweeping lawns. Children or grandchildren can delight in following the secret paths amongst the foliage, feed the ducks or sight the resident grey heron on the large pond nestled to the bottom of the garden while cows, sheep and the must have pony graze the paddocks that surround. Wonderful connection is made between the garden and the substantial mid 1990s built family home with the master bedroom, separate formal lounge and open plan living, dining and kitchen all opening out to a north west facing elevated terrace. While the interior is dated by today's standards, it does offer a wonderful, well laid out canvas to set about updating and refreshing as you see fit. The huge dressing room adjacent to the master bedroom would double as a quiet office space or convert back to a third bedroom if required while an enormous second living come spare bedroom when granny or the grandkids come to stay is accessed via the integral double garage. A second standalone double garage and carport provide additional storage and undercover parking. And appealing property perfect for those that want to experience country living with all the convenience of town and schools less than 3km away including families, downsizing farmers or lifestylers looking for a block with that extra scope.
