If you’ve been dreaming of a place with wide-open space, fresh air and the freedom to live your way, this impressive property awaits. With room for horses and animals, the setup to run a home business and the perfect environment to raise a family, it offers country beauty and everyday convenience, just 3kms from the Mount Evelyn township.
Approaching the property’s steel gate, an incredible sight unfolds as you drive between the pencil pines and gaze out over the Silvan Dam tree line. About 80 metres from the road, a circular, hedged and gardened area completes your arrival at the home. Built using quality tumble bricks and roofed with terracotta tiles, it offers large-scale family living and is full to the brim with features. You’ll find four robed bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms within, providing plenty of space for rest, work and retreat. The privately winged master includes a walk-in wardrobe and a spa ensuite. For relaxation and entertaining, three living rooms branch off a central kitchen/family meals area, extending out to a sprawling covered entertaining domain overlooking a solar-heated swimming pool. The securely gated backyard forms an enormous play haven, where kids can kick a football, practise basketball or enjoy a game of cricket. The grounds that extend from here include a standalone bungalow, multiple sheds, paddocks, cattle and livestock holding yards, and a dog run. At the rear of the block, a private bridge leads directly to the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct Trail, the only access point from the northern side, offering a scenic route to Silvan, Olinda, Mount Evelyn and beyond.
