Sitting pretty on the outskirts of Echunga's historical village is a home that takes its own special past and rewrites it for the modern way of life on a one-acre parcel with serious shedding, parking for a fleet, alfresco pavilion, paddocks, stable, self-contained studio and a rear outlook so beautiful you won't believe it's yours.
What began its days as a small-statured symmetrical cottage has been extended and upscaled to create a solar-driven haven of enviable size, comfort and efficiency - without minimising a speck of its original charm.
Whether it's the white weatherboard-style facade, extensive polished pine floorboards, high ceilings, open brick fireplaces, original picture rails or the timber-decked return verandah, its adoring custodians deserve kudos for paying deep respect to the cottage's C1915 origins.
Reignite your passion for cooking in the open-plan kitchen with stone benchtops, 900mm stainless steel appliances and prime position at the head of a family room that draws you to its combustion fire in winter and out to that huge pavilion when the mercury rises.
The kids will sleep blissfully in the original section while you bask in the refuge of a rear-placed main bedroom with a fully-tiled ensuite, walk-in robe, private access to the rear deck and that soothing rural outlook…without ever having to roll out of bed.
Guests (paying or otherwise) will love the studio's kitchenette, bathroom, split R/C, storage and peaceful separation from the main home.
With bore-fed lawns, three fenced paddocks, cubby house and 3-phase powered shed with office, mezzanine, high clearance, workshop and room for nine cars, this is everything the lifestyle property was meant to be…minus the upkeep we've come to expect. The next chapter starts now.
