Keen to live the Australian dream? With a landholding just shy of 16 hectares, an immaculate 4-bedroom homestead, & the convenience of shops, services & schools quite literally only a few minutes away in the nearby village of Exeter, you can. This is your opportunity to realise that long-held dream of a peaceful life on the land & you don't even have to sacrifice city convenience.
What's on offer:
The farm:
-15.91 hectares of gently undulating, picture-perfect pasture separated into 5 paddocks, currently home to 20 head of cattle, with capacity to stock up to 30.
-There's town-water to all troughs, complemented by a small dam.
-The cattle share the allotment with a variety of birdlife. As such, the fertiliser used in each of the paddocks has been thoughtfully chosen with an emphasis on sustainability & is sympathetic to the natural environment.
-Just 2 paddocks produced a yield of 2000 bales.
-4-bay 16 x 9 m machinery/ hay shed.
The Homestead:
-Reminiscent of Australian homesteads past, this charming home features wide, shady verandahs, honey-toned sandstone-like bricks & a classic Colorbond roof. Set against a backdrop of towering gums, bountiful fruit trees & grazing cows, with no annoying neighbours to disturb you, there's plenty to fall in love with!
-There are 4-bedrooms in all, each with exceptional pastoral views. Three of the bedrooms have generous built-in robes & are serviced by a family-sized & thoughtfully-designed 3-way bathroom that will leave the kids with no excuse for being late for school! Located at the other end of the home, the Master Suite boasts a roomy walk-in robe & a well-appointed ensuite with a double vanity, shower, toilet & direct access to the verandah- your retreat is absolutely private, enviably quiet & has views you'll never tire of.
-Stylishly presented, the home features a tasteful, neutral colour palette throughout, quality drapery, new plush carpet & eye-catching flagstone-like tiles which have been used to great effect in the open-plan kitchen, dining & sitting room.
-There are two living areas: a separate lounge room with a cosy Norseman woodfire; the other comprises a spacious kitchen, dining & adjacent sitting room. With its expansive bay window, the rural panorama can be enjoyed whether you're serving breakfast, packing lunches or readying the evening meal. The gourmet kitchen features quality appliances (including an Omega dual-fuel cooker), granite-composite benchtops atop durable laminate cabinetry & a handy walk-in pantry. The dining area has easy-access to an expansive outdoor entertaining area, & an adjacent sitting area provides the perfect place to relax with a coffee whilst you plan the day ahead.
-Outside, there's plenty of lawn for cricket & play, a henhouse, & a double garage.
-The residence is handily connected to the town-water supply & NBN wireless.
