• Neat and tidy three-bedroom weatherboard cottage
• Sweeping country-side views
Breathe in the fresh country air and get lost in the panoramic pastoral views as you kick-back on the verandah of this three-bedroom cottage.
Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with only six other landholders, and perched atop four hectares of rolling grazing land, there's a feeling of total privacy at this property. With glorious views of the rural landscape overlooking Candelo Creek and towards the Great Dividing Range in the distance, there's also enviable sunrise and sunset vistas from the shady, wrap-around verandah.
The property's single-level, mid-90s-era weatherboard home has a modern, open-plan layout. The kitchen/living/dining area is surrounded by large windows filling it with natural light and providing great ventilation. The cabinet-maker built timber kitchen has a dishwasher, gas cooktop/oven and plenty of storage. This central living space has durable and low-maintenance slate tile floors throughout, as well as a large wood heater and a reverse-cycle air-conditioner. Leading off the hall are three good-sized bedrooms – two with built-ins. All three bedrooms are carpeted and have large windows allowing natural light and cross-breezes in. There's a full family bathroom with bath and separate shower, as well as a separate laundry.
Outside there's a two-car, Colourbond garage/shed with a very practical large workshop/storage bay at one end. 22 solar panels on the shed roof and a Fronius inverter help keep electricity bills down. Three large rainwater tanks (one off the shed, and two off the house) mean you'll always have peace of mind for house water.
There's also plentiful access to outside water for the garden and livestock via a registered Community Water Licence with pumping rights from the Candelo Creek. Large, established trees border the house yard, providing shelter and shade, and there are low maintenance garden beds, vegetable gardens and fruit trees. There's unlimited scope (and space!) to add an inviting tree-lined driveway, a pool, fruit orchard, chook pen and a cottage-style garden around the house. And with four hectares to roam, there's more than enough space for the kids to play, pets to explore or for a couple of horses or a few head of other livestock.
Springfield Road is located less than five minutes' drive to the thriving and friendly village of Candelo which has everything and more that you can imagine from a small country community – there's a café, general store, service station, post office and pub. There's also a primary school (the bus stops at the end of the road), pre-school, kids' playground, 50m swimming pool and beautiful town park. There's a vibrant arts and music society, as well as the popular monthly markets. The regional centre of Bega is less than 20 minutes' drive away, and the spectacular Sapphire Coast beaches at Tathra, Merimbula and Pambula are all less than 30 minutes' drive.
Ideal for those looking to downsize but still craving the space and freedom of a rural lifestyle, or for a young family looking to buy their first slice of country life. Live out your country acreage dreams and put your own stamp on the great foundations of this charming property where you'll immediately feel 'at home'.
