This is an ideal home for people who enjoy entertaining with the main bedroom & ensuite separated by the living areas from the 3 secondary bedrooms on the upper level & a downstairs guest bedroom with ensuite.
Outside the house yard is very easy-care with a level grassed area. The cleared walking trails wind through the bush to a natural spring-fed dam ensuring this property is a haven for wildlife & is alive with bird song. There is a fully enclosed orchard & chook run & a 100,000 gallon concrete tank, so water is not an issue, & the huge 4-car garage will meet the storage needs of most families.
The tiny village of Penrose welcomes newcomers, is 6kms from its larger neighbour Bundanoon, & has a general store with an excellent cafe, a small primary school, a village hall, & railway station. Surrounded by the Morton National Park with acres of off road walking & riding & yet only 90 minutes to Sydney & Canberra this property is the perfect weekend get-away, holiday farm-stay or a lovely full-time family home. Properties with this sort of character do not come to the market very often so please take time out to take a look at this rural retreat.
