Solid Brick five bedroom homes don't come to market very often in Burra, especially one so well laid out in design and so well positioned on the 16ha that forms Nankeen. Location is perfect with a bitumen road frontage. The home was well ahead of its time in its design with segregated bedrooms, the main bedroom being especially generous in size as are the ensuite and the walk in robe. The other four bedrooms are located towards the rear of the home. Open plan living adds another feature of the home and is high on the list of must haves for buyers today. Formal and family areas can be closed off for entertaining as required. Low maintenance slate floors have been laid in high use areas for ease of cleaning, with carpet installed in the formal areas and bedrooms for that touch of comfort.
Some slate has also been added in the north facing rooms to capture extra solar heating of the thermal mass of the concrete floors.
From the family room you can lead your guest to the very generous paved north-facing patio, with views over the gardens. This is the perfect place for alfresco dining on those glorious sunny days in the cooler part of the year, and to sit under the leafy shade provided by the grape vines for a BBQ in summer is magical.
This is a very private home, made more so with its sweeping circular driveway and welcoming gardens. The acreage offers so much space- the kids will love exploring the gardens and the trees. With the extensive infrastructure already in place, there is little to add other than to list them: -stables, machinery shed, wood shed, workshop, stockyards and loading ramp, chicken house, bore, dams, irrigation, water troughs, several paddocks, good fencing plus creek!
The residence also has an attached double garage with roller doors.
Over the years Burra residents have watched as the gardens at NANKEEN developed and expanded, they have now for many years, been a regular part of the Burra Open Gardens Scheme, originally created by a long term Burra resident as a fund raiser for the local community and a chance for avid Burra gardeners to show their talents.
