Occupying an exceptional position, guaranteeing absolute privacy and multiple commercial opportunities, this unique 40-acre farm with historical roots has been lovingly and fastidiously transformed into its current state, which is nothing short of an idyllic rural property. Back in the 1870's this was the site of the Union Steam Mill School No 1010. Today, Ten Ten Farm still retains one of the historic sheds and the original Gillis brothers' cottage which has been completely refurbished into a fully self-contained, one-bedroom residence. Another distinctive feature at Ten Ten Farm is that it's bordered by four roads and boasts three entrances giving it a rare island feel. This expansive property also showcases a variety of established native and exotic trees, including a forest of harvestable Eucalyptus nitens. There is an enclosed apple orchard of heirloom varieties, an assortment of berries, chestnuts and hazelnuts and a small vineyard. In addition, there are five separate, fenced paddocks with troughs, two large dams, two creeks and a 12 megalitre water license for agricultural use. Two 50,000L water tanks supply the homestead, the enclosed vegetable garden, and the ornamentals with ample water.
At the centre of the property sits the homestead majestically surrounded by verdant landscapes, colourful shrubs, and a striking circular driveway. Classic timber cladding, a wraparound veranda and large windows are welcoming and well suited to its rural surrounds. The main entrance opens to an extra wide hallway and draws the eye immediately to the rear of the house, through the double doors to the serene outdoor spaces. To the left is the incredibly spacious master bedroom fitted with wool carpet and elegant Roman blinds, a walk-through wardrobe and a smart ensuite bathroom. Opposite you'll find a fantastic study with built-in shelves, a large desk and ample space to add comfy chairs to create the perfect library or work-from-home office.
Two additional spacious bedrooms, both with wool carpet, built-in robes and blinds share the large bright, white, central bathroom fitted with a separate bath, shower and a vanity which includes good storage. The combined living, dining and kitchen areas display timeless hardwood floors made of tung oiled Sydney ironbark; a stylish Cheminées Philippe fireplace flanked by cosy window seats that conveniently double as wood storage. A generous dining area will comfortably accommodate a large dining table which sits adjacent to the smart white kitchen perfectly suited to hearty country cooking with a five-burner gas stove, an electric oven, double sinks, plentiful cupboards and elegant dove-grey Caesarstone benchtops. A handy walk-in pantry is off to one side and finally, the oversized laundry room and a separate mudroom complete this well-thought-out country homestead.
