Privately tucked in a beautiful native landscape, Girraween offers a great mix of stunning bush land with amazing rock features and a reasonable amount of grass pastured paddock adjoining a pristine creek line. Set upon 10 acres (4ha), the property is perfect as a weekender or permanent home with most of the hard work already done.
The hardwood timber home is positioned in an elevated north-facing spot with a covered front verandah enjoying the scenic outlook over the paddock land below and distant mountain backdrop. Stepping inside you will appreciate all of the hard work and love that has been put into the home with gorgeous Tallowwood polished timber floors, high raked timber ceiling and stunning new kitchen at the heart of the home. The modern-country kitchen features a large island bench with seating, a ceramic butlers sink, 900mm Smeg oven with gas cooktop and thick stone benchtops throughout. An open plan living room adjoins the kitchen with large windows framing the picture-perfect landscape outdoors.
A quality-built timber staircase leads up to a loft bedroom/office while there are two bedrooms downstairs, one with a built-in-robe and door opening to the verandah. The modern bathroom is combined with the laundry and there is a separate toilet.
Multiple outdoor living spaces are set around the property with a flat plateau next to the house ideal for entertaining/dining and a firepit area to enjoy in the cooler months under the stars. Established native gardens encompass the house area with the property previously being set up as a native plant nursery, there are many varieties of callistemon/bottlebrush, grevillea, kangaroo paw and many others. A lush rocky gulley runs through the property, turning into a waterfall during the wet times and creating a microclimate of ferns, staghorn and orchids growing on the rocks with huge grey gum trees and lilly pilly forest surrounding the gulley. There are also many large caves and rock escarpments on the mountain side of the property.
Approximately 3-4 acres of the land is cleared grass pasture, ideal for any hobby farmers that might want some animals or to grow some produce. There is around 250m of creek frontage bounding onto Watagan Creek which is one of the most pristine waterways in the area, a known home for Platypus and fish. The birdlife is prolific in this area and it's no wonder why, with the mix of water, native flowers and shady gulleys creating a perfect habitat. Other wildlife you will find on the property include many Wombats, Wallabies and even the odd Koala.
The property has very easy 2WD access straight from a council-maintained road with multiple driveways and a circle drive around the house making it easy to get in and out. A 20ft shipping container and a double-length carport will look after vehicles, tools and equipment. Mains power is connected to the house & shipping container along with large LPG gas bottles for cooking and two water storage tanks (approx. 30,000L) servicing the house.
