A rare find for dual families, history buffs, or off-grid advocates seeking privacy on a 50-acre stage with a 2nd home, a stone barn, a century-old walnut grove, and a colonial past
The humble c1860 cottage blends seamlessly with the c1910 addition. Respectful renovations, whitewashed charm, wisteria-cloaked verandas and sweeping views now a 5 bedroom homestead
Every inch will win you over as every nook tells a tale: from the leading lounge and its 3.6m ceilings, original ceiling rose and marble mantel to the modern country kitchen's new wood stove and historic larder/pantry.
Every bedroom is unique and spacious with new carpets, thick stone walls, and latched windows; the rear master, with a walk-in closet and closest reach to the 2-year-old bathroom, ushers light and privacy through vine-clad panes.
And guest digs are the rustic barn's calling (should you care to share it) with loft views and a vast living/retreat equally suitable as a gym or home office.
Nearby, the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom 2nd home is comforting long-term tenants with its 2013-built open plan design, 2-way gas log fire, and hillside perch with French door alfresco and verandah views.
Its Caesarstone-swathed kitchen balances twin Miele ovens against a prep island, integrated dishwasher, and hidden butler's wing; to the rear, 3 plush robed bedrooms include a master with walk-in robe and luxe ensuite; and given its tree-lined separate driveway, carport, and guest parking, it insists on income now, versatility later.
For those exploring self-sufficiency, the organically treated and bore-watered grounds will inspire every productive pursuit.
Harvest the orchard's 350 lemon trees, 50 pomegranate trees, 40 cherry trees and walnut grove privately or commercially, graze sheep, traverse the winter creek, or purely honour the ancient pines, towering gingko, and ageless Moreton Bay Fig dotting the lawns and piercing hillsides.
Embrace new and old on a fulfilling canvas with income potential, stunning views, and the city barely 20 minutes away from this enchanting lifestyle privilege...
