There's a strong appetite for properties in this serene area as increasingly more people desire privacy, peace and quiet. This 20 acre property is named "Freienwalde", a German word which translates to "free in the forest". Living here at number 36 you will absolutely feel free and marvel in this tranquil natural setting. Yet you'll enjoy the convenience of being approximately 15mins drive from the rapidly developing suburb of Strathfieldsaye. Which boasts brilliant shopping, sporting, educational and recreation options. It's also only less than 10mins drive to Lake Eppalock to enjoy picnics, boating and fishing.
Entering "Freienwalde" you'll observe the money most recently invested by the current owners in the quality fencing and gateway, and the crushed bluestone under your tyres. You'll also be impressed by the sandstone that borders the driveway and low maintenance gardens. But, it's when you hop out of your vehicle, take in your first breath of fresh country air and observe your greater surroundings, that you'll properly understand the naming of this property. Perched at a height amongst the treetops the views here are something else.
It's these views that see the residence oriented to take full advantage of the leafy green outlook, surrounding hills and seemingly ever changing horizon. A shady verandah dresses the front and provides access directly into the open plan kitchen, dining and living heart of the home. A formal lounge and enclosed rear sunroom provide additional living areas. The main bedroom offers a walk in robe and ensuite and the other two bedrooms are well proportioned and have fitted robes. Those with a young adult or visiting guests will appreciate the value of the caravan and annexe being included in the sale. Given the set up here with shower, vanity, WC, bedroom, dining and living area you could even supplement your income by offering the space for private short term stays.
