Many people aspire to a country lifestyle, running a few head of sheep or a horse, keeping chooks, growing fruit and veggies, and having enough space for the children to work off their energy in nature’s playground.
If those are your dreams, this idyllic holding a few minutes from beautiful beaches and fishing spots could be the answer.
The established property consists of 1.7ha of land with a spacious family home, a separate freestanding studio or one-bedroom flat, and a double garage-workshop with an adjoining carport.
It’s 25 minutes from Albany, reached by sealed roads all the way. At the end of a long driveway, bordered by native bushland and tall gums, the home sits in a cleared area of neat lawns with well-planned, lush gardens creating a colourful setting.
The home is a terrific refuge with a lounge, family room, games room, sunroom and dining area providing options for parents and children to find their own space or play together. For warm days, there’s a covered patio and several shady niches throughout the garden.
With a pantry, electric cooking, timber cabinetry and a leafy view, the kitchen is a pleasant space for feeding the hordes, and the strategically positioned wood fire in the adjacent dining room heats most of the home.
Each of the three queen-sized bedrooms has its own bathroom. The master suite at the front is an elegant room with built-in robes and a federation-style bathroom with a clawfoot bath, basin, feature vanity, walk-in shower and toilet.
A few metres away from the main home is the studio or flat. This has its own kitchen, shower room and laundry as well as three other rooms – a bedroom, lounge and dining area, or ideal as a workspace for a diversity of hobbies.
While most of the land is in original vegetation, there are cleared areas for cultivation or building a chook run, a fenced section with a dam and a grassy paddock with trees for stock shelter.
Recent renovations include new gutters and hot water system and fresh paintwork, while solar panels, several rainwater tanks, assorted sheds, a shade house and fruit trees are other benefits of this substantial property, zoned general agriculture.
It’s a short drive from Cosy Corner and Muttonbird Beach and 20 minutes from Albany, adding to its appeal with retiring farmers or city dwellers escaping the ratrace.
