We love the classic country style that this home exudes, with its warm family friendly interior, lots of rural character, space for the kids to play and excellent infrastructure on the property. This property provides most of what you may be seeking for that ideal rural lifestyle and yet it is so very close to all the amenities Canberra and Queanbeyan provide. Across the road is the developing Googong Township with its new school, a great community centre and a shopping precinct currently under construction.
The upper level features four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has an ensuite and walk in robe. All bedrooms have views over the surrounding countryside and access is via the timber stairway located in the central entry lobby, with its soaring cathedral ceiling, exposed beams and timber lining.
Natural materials feature in this country home designed for rural living and to capture the northern aspect on this semi-rural block.
Day to day entry to the house is via the combined mud room and laundry, that also contains a convenient shower stall so you can wash off after a day working in the garden. The kitchen is close by to prepare the home grown produce from the large veggie garden and established orchard. The family room, with slow combustion fire, adjoins the kitchen and a meals area. Stegbar sliding doors lead out to a gorgeous paved al fresco easterly facing patio sheltered by a large red box tree offering an ideal area for entertaining family and friends on those warm sunny days.
My favourite feature on the ground floor is the expansive lounge room, previously this successful artist's large studio with a separate home office that could also be utilised as a guest bedroom with ensuite powder room. If you have been looking for a home offering a large office space with separate entry, this may just be it as the construction of the home allows some flexibility in the ground floor layout.
Externally the home has a two car shed, a one car garage/workshop with lockable roller door and an extra height carport. A self-contained studio, though unapproved, offers a great place to pursue hobbies or as a teenagers retreat. A large fox proof chicken yard, vegetable gardens, an established orchard, horse shelter, excellent internal fencing, water tanks and dams are also here.
This is a rare offering on generous acreage with exceptional proximity to Canberra and Queanbeyan, with many more amenities being developed at Googong Township.
