Dreams for a quieter lifestyle in the country can quickly become a reality in the Canberra Region with so many of our rural areas offering an easy commute into the city.
Rural life provides families with an opportunity to slow down, to re connect with nature and get away from the constant hustle and noise of city living. It also enables you to spendsome quality time with family and friends.
Bespoke bohemian country homes are quite a rare offeringand this large two level solar passive home designed by Concern Design is a stunner. Plus sitting atop the ridgeline on this quite large block, the home captures vast views over the surrounding countryside from all rooms.
Expansive glass on the north and polished concrete flooring, provides wonderful warmth in the cooler months and good insulation adds protection in summer and winter ,along with the two split reverse cycle air conditioners. Wonderful Nectre' slow combustion fireplaces add that winter ambience in both the lounge and the studio as required.
With the main bedroom suite located on the ground floor, there is good separation from the upper level bedrooms with the ground floor also featuring the open plan kitchen, family, and meals area. Plus a large rumpus that could be utilised asanother bedroom. There is also a quiet light filled office.
The self-contained studio is linked to the main residence but could be used as a separate dwelling.
Well set back from the road on this battle-axe block, the home enjoys great solar aspect and design with some amazing inclusions that make this home very unique. From stunning chandeliers from Cairo, to the ancient Indian timber shutters set into the ensuite wall, the home is inspirational and there are many collectibles included that have been gathered from travels around the world.
Externally many additional features have been completed, large garage/shed, four paddocks with water, spa at the end of a raised walkway, beautiful on those clear star filled nights, extensive floodlights, automated sprinkler system, a lovely pavilion ideal for alfresco dining or BBQ's.
The property is quite private, well established with great access to Canberra and sitting in the middle of wine country.
An extensive list of features and inclusions follow, though to truly appreciate all this property offers we strongly recommend an inspection.
Bohemian lifestyle is assured.
