"Mildenhall" is the epitome of the best of both worlds. Not only the stunning visual aspects of mountains and sea but a history that encompasses an intrepid flyer who named this gorgeous rural property after the British airfield he flew from on 30 separate combat missions during WW2.
A stone and brass memorial sits quietly under a shady tree that reminds us that Rear Gunner Sel Stevens came to Jamberoo in 1971 and lived with all this beauty and tranquility until 1995. Possibly the elevation gave him the feeling of flying through the clouds - on a fresh, clear winter morning, that could well have been the case.
The current owners enjoy all the wonderful seasons with lush pasture, gorgeous cottage and exotic plantings, magnificent deciduous, every green and native trees, all offering shelter, shade and affording cool breezes in the summer.
The 90 acres has remnant rain forest on approx 45 acres with turpentine forests and a selection of eucalyptus and red cedar trees within viewing distance from the house. Living within the rain forest and bush are local grey swamp wallabies, echidnas, visiting grey kangaroos, wombats, along with a myriad of native bird life which includes kookaburras, black cockatoos, wattle birds and impressive eagles. Small fairy wrens, king parrots, eastern rosellas, bower and lyre birds and magpies all live together to enjoy this very special spot.
A good selection of citrus trees and an enclosed vegetable garden with an established chicken coop complete a very productive and pleasurable garden scape, all easy to manage and enjoy. "Mildenhall" can comfortably carry 12 breeding cows plus calves with working yards.
Renovations in the late 90's extended the house to accommodate an extra large (7m x 7m) family/living space for every occasion that nestles comfortably in the rear garden space creating a warm place in the winter with a wood fireplace and louvered windows for a cooling breeze in the summer. There is also a cosy fireplace in the more formal lounge area adjacent to the dining space and modern kitchen, that all look out to the east to the rolling hills and beyond to the coast line. The remainder of the home consists of a main bedroom with ensuite, main bathroom, 2 more bedrooms and study or fourth bedroom. Timber floors and cedar window and door frames ground the home with a warmth that exudes country style and comfort. The paved, wide covered verandahs offer entertaining for family and friends all year round. To round off an exceptional property there are 42 solar panels, a constant supply of spring water (including stored water), 2 x dams, a massive workshop and 2 bay carport space for the tinker or that favorite piece of farm equipment.
