Discover the magic of rural living in the heart of Strath Creek on an expansive 50-acre (approx.) estate, home to a herd of belted Galloway beef cattle. The crown jewel of the property is a 100-year-old homestead, lovingly renovated to perfectly blend period features with modern conveniences. The result is a harmonious blend of vintage charm and contemporary elegance, all enveloped within breathtaking 360-degree views of the pastoral landscape.
The main residence features four spacious bedrooms, three stylish bathrooms, and two inviting living areas. Original timber floorboards and French doors imbue the home with character, while quality carpets in the bedrooms add a layer of warmth. The kitchen is equipped with a top-of-the-line Falcon gas cooktop and an electric oven. Additionally, an original working wood stove provides traditional rustic character.
Entertaining is a breeze on the outdoor deck, offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Equipped with a cafe-style electric canopy, it overlooks a salt-chlorinated, heated concrete in-ground pool, making it an ideal spot for summer gatherings.
A mix of fireplaces, reverse-cycle air conditioners and Nobo electric heaters, ensure a comfortable climate throughout.
The outdoor spaces are just as impressive. The estate hosts six well-kept paddocks, electric fences, cattle yards, two spring-fed dams, a functional bore that feeds an automated sprinkler system, and a historic shearing shed. The latter offers endless opportunities for a man cave, arts studio, kid's game room or potential BnB (STCA), with both electricity and a reverse cycle heater/air-conditioner already installed.
Nestled on the property is a BnB cedar cottage offering two bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower and clawfoot bath, fully equipped kitchen and a lounge/dining room. From timber floorboards to quality carpeting to a wood heater, two reverse-cycle air conditioners and deck with an undercover BBQ, it provides an ideal rustic getaway for guests.
The horticultural delights include botanical gardens and an orchard of fruit trees featuring apple, peach, nectarine, plum, lemon, lime, mandarin, and pear. Four water tanks with a combined capacity of 54k litres provide ample water supply, with options to supplement from the BnB overflow and creek.
Embrace the warm, welcoming community of Strath Creek, with opportunities to be involved in Anzac/Australia day ceremonies, working bees, and Friday BBQs during the warmer months. A soon-to-open local shop, café, and wine bar, and a potential future boutique brewery enrich the vibrant community life.
This grand country estate represents an exceptional opportunity to experience the richness of rural life in a serene yet vibrant community. Whether you're after a change of pace, a unique investment opportunity, or a chance to live out your rural dreams, this remarkable Strath Creek property promises a lifestyle far from the ordinary.
