198 Cranneys Road, Murwillumbah NSW 2484

Another successful sale by Ray White Rural Murwillumbah.

The Tumbulgum property of Cranney's Homestead has a rich history dating back to World War II. Today, the property offers a much more peaceful lifestyle with a stately Georgian-style main residence with grand, old-world facade, occupying a commanding position on 20 rolling hectares (50 acres).
This stunning main residence has a short and sweet history, having been built in only 2004, however, its surrounding structures are steeped in heritage; a concrete bunker that is now a `water tank', lies beside a 9m saltwater pool. During the desolate days of World War II, it was used as an observation post for spotting enemy craft when hawk-eyed soldiers watched for bombs and baddies.
A hall that sits on the plot has a similarly rich history; the old `Cranneys Dance Hall', was a jiving hotspot for Gold Coast locals during the war with dances held there for many years. Today its stage provides a platform for aspiring musicians.
A workers cottage with two bedrooms plus sleep-out has been renovated and offers a generous amount of space, character and warmth.
A romantic arch frames the front entry to the property which takes in expansive views to the coastline.
The main residence offers a plethora of features; stepped cornices and a gas fireplace in the carpeted formal lounge that sits off a tiled corridor, a down-lit rumpus and study with a droplight and a textured green feature wall are also off the hall.
Adjacent to the hall is the open-plan casual living and dining area with sliding door access to the back yard. High windows frame the view over rolling pastures to Coolangatta from this living space.
The modern kitchen is well appointed with stainless steel appliances including rangehood, two-drawer dishwasher, 90cm wide gas hob and sleek white cabinetry and black bench tops.
Carpeted steps with timber and wrought iron balustrades lead up to a third living area and four generously proportioned bedrooms, all with robes.
The master suite has a gold, textured feature wall, an en suite with a spa bath, a dressing room and north-easterly views to Terranora and Sextons Hill from two balconies.
Two of the other three bedrooms also have private balconies. All three have lilac finishes, mirrored built-in wardrobes and stepped cornices.
