So you know that hairy Guy from gardening Australia, Costa? And you know that interior designer/ craft queen Martha Stewart? Well imagine the two of them were a couple and they wanted a country getaway'. This is that house! This 3-bedroom weatherboard home is the perfect mix of styled up country charm and self-sufficient living. Set on 3819 m2, across 3 titles with extensive fruit and vegetable gardens, you will never have to leave. The property enjoys spectacular views of the Blue Tier and of course for the mountain bike enthusiast the bottom of Blue Derby's big Chook' trail is just around the corner.
With a wrap around front veranda, hand split blackwood shingle cladding, all nestled in a cottage garden, you are greeted by a hand painted front door. You immediately know you are somewhere special. Originally Weldborough's shop and residence, police station then mine managers house, this property has history as well!
All 3 bedrooms are double size, and one leads onto a private study or WIR. The open plan living room/ sun- room flows through to the kitchen diner. There is a freestanding wood heater as well as a reverse cycle air conditioner. The hall and bathroom also have wall mounted space heaters, so no one is going cold this winter!
The kitchen features 2 cooking options, an Everhot wood stove and Euromaid electric stove. There is stainless steel cabinetry for functionality and a porcelain sink for charm. The bathroom has a refinished claw foot bath with fun watering can shower head, sink and toilet.
Outbuildings include a 3-bay carport (6 x 9 m), single car garage, workshop, woodshed, large walk in chook shed, bird aviary and 3-sided goat shed.

The garden includes a fruit orchard, a nut grove, a berry house, a comprehensive vegetable and herb garden and of course many many decorative trees and plants as well. A complete list is available on request.
Numerous upgrades to the property have occurred in recent years including new HWS, new insulation, new electrical switchboard, new water pump and a complete repaint, to mention a few.
