22 Springhill Lane, Armidale NSW 2350

It is very rare to find an acreage property that is not only ultra-convenient, but also has a substantial residence and superb garden as well. Even better, it is located at the end of a very quiet lane ensuring absolute privacy. The home will have immediate appeal to a wide range of buyers including families wanting a more rural lifestyle, but still within a short distance from schools. Equally, keen gardeners or retired farmers would find tremendous scope to indulge in a range of horticultural pursuits. With 23.4 acres plus another 5 acres of a Crown Grazing lease, space is not an issue.
The original home dates to 1974. However, a series of major additions were completed during 2003-2005 bringing the home up to a very modern specification. Comprising 4 bedrooms all with built-ins, 3 bathrooms including 2 ensuite, a massive kitchen & family room together with a separate formal dining room, it offers an abundance of accommodation. A substantial 87 m2 iron bark deck was constructed to take full advantage of the northern orientation. In 2015 a 24 m2 conservatory was added to further enjoy the winter sun.
The residence has many quality inclusions including a solid Jarrah kitchen with Asko, Miele and Ilve appliances. The family room has a Eureka slow combustion heater whilst the dining room provides an open fire place with timber mantle. Bathrooms haven't been overlooked with the master ensuite offering a dual therapy spa and under floor heating.
Perhaps one of the most striking features of the property is the magnificent garden. Set on over an acre of terraced lawns, the gardens include a wonderful selection of deciduous and native trees. The extensive use of dry basalt walling, low hedging and retaining banks provides a real sense of structure and order. This theme is continued in the formal rose garden with its' feature wall and fountain. Water is reticulated through the entire garden for ease of maintenance.
Another obvious feature of the property is the extensive collection of quality out-buildings which includes a 4 bay garage with workshop which has a toilet and hand basin, 2 bay garage and garden shed and a 3 bay machinery and RV shed, all with power connected. Whilst the property has town water, there is also a 100,000 litre concrete tank. Another 13,500 litre Poly tank provides water to the vegetable garden and propagation shed. It is fair to say that water security is another feature.
Although the property is not currently stocked, carrying 5-6 steers through winter and up to 12 head at other times is commonplace. Divided into 5 paddocks with cattle yards, head bail and loading ramp, it would also suit a horse enthusiast with appropriate fencing.
The property is zoned R2 Low Density Residential and has direct access to Ross Street. This may offer a viable sub-division opportunity STCA.
So here it is, the complete package. Often sought and rarely found, this property will be highly regarded by a diverse group of buyers. Don't delay and organise and inspection today.
