Panoramic views over the rural landscape are enjoyed from this spacious country home, with an understated elegance. Seamlessly extended in its early years, it offers generously proportioned formal lounge and dining rooms, large casual living areas, a study and four bedrooms, including a peaceful segregated master suite.
Set amidst 25 acres of well tended gardens and paddocks with three dams, accommodation for five cars, a workshop or garage with a covered sitting area and a machinery shed, the property has in past years been a working farm. The property is named Captain's Hill and the 25 acres are what's left of the original property of hundreds of acres settled by "Captain" Samuel Southwell in the late 19th Century.
Situated within a comfortable drive of Canberra and only 1.23 kilometres from Wallaroo Road as signified by the street number, it presents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the country lifestyle, positioned on one of the most desirable parcels of rural land to be offered for sale.
Situated in an elevated location atop a gentle rise or saddle, the home is set amidst established gardens, the attractive bagged finish on brickwork and wide front terrace adding to the appeal. Covered sitting areas wrap around the home on three sides.
From the welcoming entry, double glass doors open into the generous formal lounge, where full length windows frame a scenic outlook to the east over rolling hills, and the open fireplace adds to ambience.
The picturesque outlook from the opposite side of the home is enjoyed from the formal dining room, which can comfortably cater for larger gatherings.
Adjacent, the large country kitchen overlooks the entertaining area and gardens, distant acreage and a dam, and features a generous area of benchtop, a St. George double oven with electric cooktop, Bosch dishwasher and a huge amount of storage in timeless Tassie Oak cabinetry.
Sunlight warms the meals area over cooler months and a slow combustion heater in the family room generates solid winter warmth. In addition there is the convenience of ducted gas heating and ducted evaporative cooling.
An extensive semi-circular area of paved entertaining overlooks an impressive area of garden and features a brick barbeque.
The restful master suite offers a tranquil outlook with a door onto the terrace, a walk-in robe and ensuite with mountain views, also enjoyed from the adjacent study.
On the opposite side of the home three secondary bedrooms feature built-in robes, and the spacious second bedroom has French doors to the front terrace. The main bathroom offers a bath and shower.
The family room leads to an enclosed verandah or mud room and laundry, with easy access to the enormous garage and a triple carport in front.
Water supply is plentiful with two huge rain water tanks, each holding approximately 10,000 gallons or 45,000 litres. In addition a smaller tank of 3,000 litres is situated behind the machinery shed.
Your country lifestyle, on an exceptional parcel of land awaits!
