?Beautifully positioned on a small rise, this character filled country house with full length verandah's to front and back, is surrounded by gently sloping lush lawns bordered by sub-tropical gardens on a conveniently located, neat and tidy five acre block.

Warm and welcoming, the magnificent cedar timber lined ceiling, massive hand-cut beams and poles along with exposed coloured brickwork, tasteful leadlight features, vintage French doors and polished hardwood floors create a home of immense character and appeal.

Modern and spacious, the centrally located kitchen combines a gorgeous antique mint green wood-fuel stove with modern gas appliances and clever storage; whilst the generous sized granite topped breakfast bar engenders conversation with the happy cook.

You'll practically live outdoors on this five acre patch. Walk outside from the dining and living rooms and the timber verandah steps down to an entertainment area with cafe blinds, large barbeque/dining area and lovely views of the lush grounds. The paved area houses a billiard table with overhead lighting and built-in-the-wall gardens, ideal for growing herbs and flowers for the home. Imagine balmy summer evenings relaxing in the cool shade and watching the moon rise over the hill. What a pleasure it would be to be able to entertain friends all year round in this stylish, cooling and comfortable outdoor space. Winter evenings are equally enjoyable when you can snuggle up by a big open fire in the country style formal living room whilst a hearty meal slow cooks in the wood stove in the kitchen.

The master bedroom is privately located with a lovely old world dressing room leading through to an ensuite/main bathroom with a window beside the bath providing restful views of the countryside. The second and third bedrooms are located off a second living room and a walk through study. A combined bathroom/laundry has a rustic, country style appeal and is conveniently located close to the clothes drying garden.

Children will love exploring the established gardens with walkways to a hidden cubby and a swing hung from the branches of a sturdy tree just perfect for climbing. Fully fenced paddocks are suitable for keeping a pony or two, including a feed shed, stables and arena. The large country shed provides garaging for vehicles, a workshop, woodshed and plenty of storage. There is a three bay Colorbond shed for the tools and toys. A 5KW solar power system feeds back to the grid; 5000 gallon rainwater storage and a pump on the Orara River as a back up, provide a secure water supply. The property has daily mail and weekly waste pick up services as well as being located on the school bus route.

Give your family the gift of living a healthy country lifestyle, all within twenty minutes of the beaches and amenities of the coastal resort city of Coffs Harbour.
