What's around McHarg Creek Road

House description

“'Waratah' c1880”

Representing traditional charm & character with an abundance of space throughout, 'Waratah' is a solid stone masterpiece on 14 acres that melds in seamlessly with today's luxuries.

Built by the Dunn family back in the 1800's & recently renovated without compromise 'Waratah' has an Alby Turner kitchen exquisitely designed around the exposed bare stone wall & is complimented by the lofty cathedral ceilings which are part of the kitchens open plan, dining & living area. The cathedral ceilings are accentuated by the large lounge room windows that catch the speckled morning light & frame the properties private acreage & established garden lawns & trees. It's this sense of space that flows throughout 'Waratah's' remaining 4 bedrooms, second living room, office & 2 bathrooms along with the spacious grounds around the property.


Space & lifestyle are the primary reasons families & retirees choose to live in such beautiful locations but with 'Waratah' it's the original extras combined with the recent additions & the location that clearly set this property apart from other rural lifestyle properties. 'Waratah' has a large & beautiful old stone bridge spanning its own section of the McHarg Creek & extends the driveway to a self-contained c1880 studio that once served as a shearing shed, a dairy & has also been rented out over the years along with being used as separate accommodation for visiting family members.

Beyond the studio the property is segregated into 2 main paddocks both with water & far reaching sunset views along with a wonderful native scrub that has been maintained as a natural habitat for local wildlife. At the front of the property the original workshop/implement shed is simply beautiful & with a bit of modification would easily lend itself as a cellar door or function center (stcc). The original stonework is simply stunning & opens up onto a large flat house paddock that conveniently joins McHarg Road via the properties second driveway entrance. The shed also includes an original stable & the water supply is well taken care of via the McHarg Creek, with two 5,000 gallon tanks & a 22,000 gallon concrete tank. A water schematics map will be provided.

The main homestead has a new 2-car carport & a newly installed bull nose verandah built in keeping with Waratah's original design. There is original lead light everywhere & the original skirting boards & cornices have been intelligently integrated throughout and the 2 bathrooms both have under floor heating. There are beautiful Baltic timber floors throughout & all of the fireplaces work with extra heating & cooling taken care of via the large combustion heater & Waratah's solid stonewalls.

Having been lovingly restored it is with reluctance that 'Waratah' enters the market. A family home for rural enthusiasts or the perfect reward for retirees, 'Waratah' will satisfy anyone looking for a peaceful & comfortable rural lifestyle.
