With a modernised four bedroom cottage surrounded by 58 acres of spectacular natural bushland and cleared usable paddocks, this enchanting East Seaham property offers the perfect small acreage lifestyle.
Located in a quiet rural area just over 10 minutes from Raymond Terrace and 40 minutes from Newcastle, the property combines the tranquility of country living with the amenities and attractions of large urban centres just a short drive away.
Ideal for nature lovers or families looking for some extra space for their kids to enjoy, the property is a natural wonderland with acres of countryside to explore. Enjoy the tranquil sounds of the meandering creek and waterfall or follow the natural walking trails and discover private elevated views of the surrounding landscape.
The property has three dams, one at the entry, one in front of the house & the largest halfway up the property. This dam provides gravity feed water to the paddocks and all external taps (other than one outside the kitchen window) for gardening, stock replenishing, the fire hydrant on the external garage wall & refreshing the house dam in extremely dry conditions, effectively water proofing the property.
Horse owners are also well catered for, with smaller holding paddocks and a horse shelter already in place, while a chicken coop and hen house will allow you to raise your own flock for a regular supply of eggs.
A large meshed domed vegetable garden enhances the home's self-sufficient capabilities, while an impressive 27-panel solar farm and three on-site water tanks add to its environmentally-friendly credentials.
The property also features a variety of shedding including a powered two-bay Colorbond garage, which provide plenty of storage for the family vehicles, farm machinery and outdoor equipment.
For those who like to entertain, a paved undercover area with built-in benches, cupboards and a sink offers the ideal spot for a family barbecue, while the fire pit areas are perfect for warming up those chilly winter gatherings.
A second covered verandah running the length of the house offers a shady spot to sit back and take in the serenity of the surrounding bushland with views over the dam, while an abundance of large windows throughout the home ensure the beauty of the natural environment is invited inside at every opportunity.
Set back from the road at the end of a long gravel driveway, the charming four-bedroom home has been beautifully updated with a modern, neutral colour scheme that creates a bright and spacious feel throughout.
A large, inviting entry provides a connection between the home's central living areas and three of the bedrooms, but has plenty of space to incorporate a second use as a light and airy study.
Spacious proportions and an abundance of built-in furniture and cabinetry also caters for older children who need added peace and privacy to complete their homework, with two of the bedrooms featuring built-in desks, while all four offer added storage in the built-in wardrobes.
Three of the bedrooms are located at one end of the house, with the fourth offering the ideal configuration for a teenager's retreat, guest bedroom or potential in-home granny flat, featuring its own ensuite and a separate small sitting room or study. All three rooms can be shut off from the rest of the home, with access to this area via the laundry or an external door off the covered outdoor area.
A second bathroom next to the laundry caters for the rest of the family, with easy access from the central living areas.
Light, bright and inviting, the home's open plan living areas have also been updated with a more contemporary colour scheme, while timber paneling on some of the walls, which has been painted a lovely, crisp white, provides a hint of modern country style.
Mid-grey carpet and a wall of built-in bookcases in an open alcove at one end of the lounge room adds to its homely feel, while glossy light-coloured tiles in the dining area and adjoining kitchen give this area a sleek, contemporary look.
White cabinetry with a black return benchtop creates a classic look in the kitchen, offering plenty of storage and preparation space alongside the built-in pantry.
An abundance of large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood into these living areas while also providing a lovely green outlook over the natural landscape, while a sliding door in the dining room provides direct access to the covered verandah.
With an updated, modern home families will love and an abundance of outdoor space to make the most of, this property has plenty of appeal and a peaceful ambience that is hard to beat.
