Escape to the country with this spectacular rural estate that enjoys a commanding position overlooking the Molonglo River. Positioned within a natural amphitheatre and complimented by parklike gardens, the setting of Bivouac is wonderfully private, peaceful and beautiful.
This exceptional solar orientated property will delight those seeking their own sanctuary in which to raise a family, graze horses, or simply enjoy the farmland setting. The dramatic main entry, with cathedral cherrywood ceilings overlooks the formal dining room and provides an elevated view of a deep bend in the river and rural vista beyond. From here the home spans out over 370sqm of high quality living space featuring Italian terracotta flooring, solid cherrywood ceilings and features and cedar windows and doors.
The hub of the home offers a large modern kitchen, informal dining and living area that flows out to the covered al fresco area. The formal living and dining rooms, two master suites and the study are segregated in one wing of the home, the rumpus, three good sized bedrooms with separate bath and shower rooms are in another wing of the home. The expansive floor plan allows for a family's changing needs and room for everyone to have their own space, including direct access to secluded outdoor areas from almost every room.
The commitment and thought applied to the design of the house, gardens, pool and outdoor entertaining areas provides for the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living. The children can run and play on the manicured lawns or spend hours playing in the stunning swimming pool, while you sit back, relax and enjoy your birds eye view.
Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the 30mx60m fully fenced sand arena, three stables, tack shed and three safely fenced paddocks. The front paddock has a large, picturesque dam, shelter shed, sand roll and an abundance of sheltering trees.
