Belonging to the highly regarded Stanton family for the better part of the 20th century and having had only three owners in its 120-year history, this magnificent homestead, set amongst beautiful rolling green pastures, holds significant historical value.
Originally a modest four-room cottage, the property has been added to over the decades to form the impressive home that you see today. As you move through the home you can trace the historical timeline. Wide, hand-sawn Baltic Pine floorboards in the original turn-of-the century cottage, lead on to the later, Federation era additions of Tasmanian Oak floors, dado panelling and high, pressed tin ceilings. Timber picture rails and door framing add to the incredible warmth and character throughout. Gorgeous windows on all sides of the home frame captivating views that can be had from literally every room in the house. The delightful wraparound veranda is at once practical and elegant.
The main home consists of four generous bedrooms, two large living rooms, and a fabulous kitchen and dining area. This quintessential country kitchen and dining space, with an excellent north-westerly aspect, provides an ideal, bright and sunny hub, whilst a charming woodfire warms the area on the colder winter days. The timber kitchen offers ample cupboard and bench space and a large breakfast bar. A gas cooktop and pyrolytic oven will keep the home chef happy. With plenty of room for the many activities of a busy family this exceptional space will draw everyone together for long afternoons of work, play and entertaining. Pretty French doors in both the dining area and living room give access to the garden and veranda. The large lounge room offers a warm and comfortable evening retreat. The delightful bedrooms are steeped in the character of the era and all enjoy garden, mountain or valley views.
Once covered in apple trees, the fertile soils of this beautiful valley produce enviable, lush, green pastures. Five, fully fenced and irrigated paddocks are ripe for production or livestock and a large, netted orchard has a myriad of established fruit trees and berry bushes. Hundreds of daffodil bulbs create a spring paradise. An enormous outbuilding with new roof, houses a garage space, workshop, office, feed room, hay shed and endless storage options. A quality, well-maintained horse arena has been newly graded and dressed with Scottsdale sand surfacing. Twenty, near new solar panels provide 6.9kw of power, multiple tanks hold over 100,000 litres of water.
Amidst a backdrop of outstanding natural beauty, including eagles overhead and breath-taking views of Mount Wellington and the jagged peaks of Collins Cap and Sleeping Beauty, this stunning family property truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
