Make no mistake this property right in the heart of Highfields will be sold. With a large circular bitumen driveway and situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, this 5 bedroom, a dedicated study, 3 bathrooms, 6 car accommodation home is sure to impress. This Queensland style brick and timber house was built around 1983 and sits on a sloping 5 acre site which is partially landscaped with some spectacular aged gum trees left in situ.

All bedrooms are a great size with plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy their own spaces. Upstairs the master bedroom has a huge modern ensuite, walk in fitted wardrobes and opens onto a small east facing balcony with views over the valley. The fourth dormitory-sized and fifth bedrooms upstairs have access to their own bathroom facilities and a large sitting/playing area with a shaded balcony.

Downstairs are three reception areas comprising a drawing room, a double height hall and a smaller entrance hall. With a large living area, a large combined dining/living area off the spacious kitchen, there is enough space for the whole family to enjoy sitting and relaxing in the peaceful surrounds. The large, airy, spacious kitchen has a gas cooktop, electric and warming ovens, rangehood, microwave, integrated dishwasher and heaps of bench space including a breakfast bar for the morning family rush. All downstairs rooms have access to the three-sided verandahs. There are 3 split air conditioners positioned throughout the home with a wood burner for those cool nights in the main living area. Spotted gum timber floors in some of the downstairs areas are a showpiece of this outstanding property.

The property is connected to NBN and has 16 solar panels installed to decrease your power bills. There is provision for central heating using gas and there is a built in “Vacuum maid” system. The swimming pool is a salt water system run on a sand filter pump with a timing mechanism and solar heating.

There is town water and tank water ( a very large 135,000 litres concrete tank for outside use but could be plumbed to the home) and well established gardens and parklike setting.

Truly this block is a children’s paradise to explore with an eight foot deer proof fence surrounding all but some 50 metres (adequately fenced with ring lock). There is an abundance of fruit trees with a prolific fruit bearing Haas Avocado tree, 2 figs, lemon trees, stone fruit trees, custard apple and grapefruit to name a few. The orchard has an automatic underground irrigation system fed from the tank and variety of Camelias and Hibiscus add to the colour of this bushland garden setting.
