Large family home, within walking distance to the town centre is on approx. 17 acres of level to gently sloping fertile pasture, in the heart of the township of Cygnet, offering privacy, with views of both the Bay, complete with yachts, only 1km away. The 17acres is bounded on one side by Agnes Rivulet. A winter creek also flows through the land. The property is fenced into two large paddocks, further divided by electric fencing and would be suitable for any number of rural pursuits.
The brick veneer house is a spacious 15.6 squares and features a sunny open plan kitchen/dining area that opens out to a large living area with three windows that beautifully frame the surrounding countryside and the bay of Port Cygnet. The lounge room is heated by a Saxon free standing wood heater. Beyond the living room is the master bedroom, laundry, bathroom and separate toilet opposite, and two more bedrooms down the hall. At the end of the house, spanning the full width, is a large multi purpose room that can be used as a family room, rumpus room, or possibly converted into additional bedrooms, or a home office. There is an external door off this room into the carport.
A full length deck facing the bay can be accessed by sliding glass doors off the living area and off the family room, and makes a great place to sit back and enjoy the view.
Lovely gardens surround the home and a number of fruit trees, apricot, apple, plum and lemon are in the house yard. More fruit trees can be found in the paddocks including pears, more plums, apples and a huge old apricot tree. Two separate areas have been dedicated for growing vegetables,
A large colourbond shed, big enough for four vehicles, provides plenty of space for a boat or farm machinery. There is an additional roomy wooden shed on the property, and a small garden shed that has been used as a chook shed in the past. There are also cattle yards and a ramp.
Wander down the paddock to sit by the Agnes Rivulet which enters the bay via nearby Burtons Reserve. The banks of the rivulet were planted out by Port Cygnet Land and Water Care a few years ago, and are fenced off from livestock.
