Solar powered gates invite access to this 320 square metre two storey double glazed timber weatherboard and brick home with colour steel roof located at the end of a long driveway in a private peaceful position well off the road. This property has been well loved and meticulously cared for by the same owners for 32 years however, as the time has come to move on, they have purchased elsewhere and need to move in the immediate future offering you the opportunity to acquire this uniquely equipped asset. Endowed with an amazing selection of shedding, there is a huge 289m 2 (approx) shed with 6m high door and two smaller doors suitable for trucks or heavy equipment, high amp single phase power, LED and flood lights, ready to accommodate all manner of projects, whether it be a business or hobby. In addition, there is a 96m 2 (approx) American barn-style free-standing garage/shed with three doors, power and lighting.

Prestigiously located in high calibre company, the 4.22 hectare property, zoned Future Urban, was once equine oriented and still retains the old dressage arena. In 2015 this welcoming superbly located home underwent a glamorous transformation with modern style and functionality to the fore. At the entry an impressive pivot front door leads into open plan air-conditioned light-filled family living and the immaculate kitchen with expansive cabinetry, granite benchtops, glass splash-back, two Bosch ovens, induction cooktop, walk-in pantry and breakfast bar. Bi-fold doors here open from here to the sheltered northern section of the picturesque patio which wraps around this home offering idyllic entertaining and recreation venues. Off the living area, cavity doors open into an elegant formal lounge and dining area with high pitched timber ceiling and gas fire with feature Schist stone surrounds.

On this ground level, there’s also a well-sized home office or fifth bedroom as needed, another bedroom with built-in robe, a bathroom and a large linen press. A hallway here opens into the marine carpeted double lock-up garage adjoining a large laundry with benchtops, built-in storage and outdoor access. There’s also a toilet conveniently accessed from the eastern patio where a pathway leads down to the fenced salt water pool with titanium heat pump, pool cover and paved leisure surrounds. Upstairs, three bedrooms include the scenic, super-spacious master with air-conditioning, oversized walk-in robe and chic floor heated fully tiled ensuite with double vanity and super-sized shower. High pitched timber feature ceilings here and in the hallway lend a surreal sense of space. The two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes share a contemporary family bathroom with feature tiled shower. A large multi-purpose room awaits designation – an ideal study/rumpus room or storage if required. Outdoors the amazing expansive shedding invites myriad uses, there are five paddocks, water tanks and a bore, a hay barn and garden shed and fruit trees, including citrus, avocado and plum. There’s even a trickling stream on the property’s boundary. Ticking all the boxes, this beautifully renovated property is handy to both Strathallan and St Ignatius bus routes and very convenient to the new Drury town centre development and train station coming soon. Our vendors are very keen to move and we suggest your early inspection of this prestigious, conveniently located lifestyle property.
