Versatile rural properties are few and far between - especially those that offer the opportunity to walk 100m from the main residence to take a dip in the refreshing water of the Orara River and sit amongst the tall timbers on a gloriously private sandy bank. 252 Curlew Drive is one property that must be seen to take in its magnificence.
Upon arrival, you make your way past the maple trees lining the entrance and pass a luscious, pasture-improved paddock. The property in total is 14.11ha, split into 2 parcels of land, the larger 19 acre portion is where the homes and infrastructure all rest. The second portion 6.06ha (14.97 acres) of this allotment is primarily an untouched bush block, it too has Orara River frontage.
The main residence has undergone a tasteful rejuvenation, fusing rural elegance with a contemporary twist. You will come to love the small touches that will make your transition to rural living a dream - such as the stunning 900mm Fisher & Paykel cooker in the kitchen, the custom-made Red Ash hung vanity in the bathroom, French doors to the study, wood fireplace and decorative cornice ceiling accompanying the dining area and the rear deck that overlooks the sprawling fields and bushland beyond. Even with the airy layout of this home, you still feel cosy and comfortable.
Each bedroom in the cottage is equipped with built-in robes, is spacious in size, and is accompanied by timber hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. The kitchen also features timber benchtops, a farmhouse sink, a large island bench, and stylish splashback tiles. Adjacent to the kitchen is the main living area equipped with reverse cycle air conditioning, lined with large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light to flow through. Nearby, the internal laundry offers external access and an additional toilet for convenience. The all-in-one bathroom is complete with a dreamy shower over bath and toilet. The north facing front deck is the perfect place to enjoy a BBQ with friends. All year comfort in this home has been put in place with underfloor insulation. Allowing plenty of room for storage for mowers and more won't be a problem with plenty of space under the house.
The well-presented and very comfortable second residence or "the shouse" is fully equipped and independent of the main home. It offers an open plan layout, complete with a newly installed kitchen, including a stand alone cooker and island bench. The kitchen overlooks the spacious main lounge complete with high ceilings and a wood fire. There are 3 bedrooms in total in the second residence, the main is complete with French doors to the north facing porch. The all in one bathroom and laundry combination is highly functional and well presented.
The newly established 18m x 7m Colorbond shed with remote control doors will comfortably store all your cars, machinery, and toys. There is also a chook pen, fire pit, raised vegetable gardens, and a variety of fruit and olive trees already established on the property ready for you to begin your venture into the ultimate peaceful rural lifestyle.
We have also been advised by the current owners that while you have glorious riverfrontage - during extreme flooding events, water has reached the back fencing, where the bush meets the cleared land.
Properties that offer spectacular river frontage do not come up very often; let alone a property that offers two separate dwellings situated on predominately cleared land located in a highly sought-after rural suburb. Your opportunities are endless at 252 Curlew Drive - whether you are purchasing with family or friends, looking for a hobby farm, or would like the opportunity for additional income through Airbnb; this property has you covered.
