HOMESTEAD
This magnificent 3 1/2 year old home will suit the most discerning buyer. Verandahs on three sides with the main verandah being wide and purpose built for entertaining with a built-in timber bar, overlooking the in-ground pool, landscaped gardens, paddocks and far beyond. No expense has been spared with adjustable blinds/screens along the full length of the verandah, so that this area of the home is usable in almost all weather conditions. The large stainless steel outdoor kitchen/bbq will remain. Large sliding stacker doors open up from the kitchen & living area aswell as the master bedroom, really bringing the open plan indoor and outdoor living together...just perfect for large family gatherings.
The kitchen is simply superb! Heaps of bench space, pot drawers, large island bench, five burner gas cooktop and double oven along with a large walk-in pantry complete with sensor light, all culminate to create a wonderful space for the entire family to get together at meal time. The adjacent dining and lounge area are spacious, with this section of the home having 15 ft ceilings, reverse cycle air con & wood heater for year round comfort. The remainder of the home has 9 ft ceilings, huge laundry and large family bathroom, good sized bedrooms with built-in robes, walk-in robe, air conditioning in the master bedroom and large ensuite with double basins and dual head shower. The 4th bedroom is currently used as a study. Stunning spotted gum flooring throughout the home are a standout feature.
Power is supplied to the home and sheds via a new state of the art 10KW solar system and 10KVA generator (if required). 24 panels are mounted on a concrete slab for ease of maintenance and washing down so that the system works at a premium at all times. This system is wirelessly connected so that power usage can also be monitored at all times. The 2 KVA wind turbine has been constructed but not connected to the existing system.
Established gardens including raised vegetable and herb gardens create a lovely tranquil setting with an 8m in-ground salt water pool for family fun. The pool comes complete with a cover and robotic pool cleaner. Take a short wander from the front yard to the firepit area and enjoy extensive views of the setting sun and maybe even party on into the night.
LAND and YARDS
The block is one of the best of it's kind, consisting mainly of basalt scrub soils that over the years, has had chicken manure spread over it, along with the sewing of improved pastures, consisting of QLD bluegrass, creeping bluegrass, green panic and natural kikuyu in places. Fenced to 12 watered paddocks, ranging from smaller nursery paddocks, ideal for sheep goats or calving (some of which are ringlocked), through to larger grazing paddocks for horses or cattle. Steel portable cattle yards are in place complete with loading ramp and concrete base under the vet crush. Smaller holding paddocks also adjoin the yards. Sheep yards and loading ramp also remain. Some paddocks were built for free range pigs. Six purpose built dog runs, each with their own house for those wanting to breed dogs or simply keep the pets under control while you're away. These could easily double as lamb or goat shelters.
WATER
Two solar bores supply stock water to header tanks and troughs. The reticulation system is designed in a way that water from the bores can be isolated in a manner to keep the property supplied if a problem occurs with a tap, trough or water line. The orchard along with the established gardens are fully irrigated. 60 000 litres of rainwater is plumbed to the home. Other tanks exist on sheds & dairy/stables simply as 'back up' supply if required. Needless to say, water is simply not an issue that the current owners worry about. There are also 5 dams on the property offering seasonal surface water.
SHEDS
In fitting with most other improvements on the property, shedding is second to none, ranging from smaller sheds, garden sheds, green house and outbuildings for hay and machinery storage and animal shelters, through to two 12m x 7m colorbond sheds. Both sheds are fully concreted with power connected. One shed is divided into separate bays with connecting access doors, perfect for keeping the boat or that prized classic car. The 'workshop shed' is purpose built with a high pitch roof for the near new automated vehicle hoist which will make you the envy of all backyard mechanics. The home has an attached 5 bay fully concreted carport with covered internal access to the home and also adjoins the verandah, which could easily double as a large entertainment area for parties and large family gatherings.
