At the end of a country lane, incredibly just a 5 minute drive from vibrant Pambula Village, lies this magnificent, secluded 117 acre property. The superbly sited 4 bedroom residence commands breathtaking rural vistas as far as the eye can see, and is nestled in an established native country garden. Tranquility is assured - the property fills a hidden valley, with the nearest visible neighbour houses over 1 km away beyond the property's river boundary. Yet it's just 10 minutes from the front door to surf and family beaches, 10 minutes to Merimbula Airport.
Exuding character and charm, the home centres on an expansive open-plan living and dining area with combustion stove heating, which features hardwood floors and timber trusses, and an adjoining day room with bifold windows that give full play to the long views. French windows give access to a delightful north facing covered deck. The centre piece of the amazing living zone is a fully appointed soft close kitchen including hardwood bench tops and 5-burner s/s range.
The master suite includes a spacious walk-in robe, private sundeck/pergola (wheelchair accessible by external ramp), and a parents' retreat/utility with bifold windows. An excellent bathroom including freestanding bath, vanity, shower plus sep wc, and a generous home office complete the upstairs.
Downstairs is apartment like and centres on a huge open living room with a well equipped kitchenette and breakfast room, again heated by combustion stove. Two large bedrooms and a third bunk bedroom adjoin, with a fully tiled bathroom and separate WC. A large country larder and cooled storeroom give access both directly from the garage and through to the downstairs rooms.
Immediately outdoors, the home is surrounded on three sides by expansive brick-paved patios, pizza oven and shaded by vines in summer for alfresco entertaining, complemented by a securely fenced chook yard, productive veggie garden and a 14m x 6m 4-bay workshop/farm shed.
The property is a mixture of cleared pasture and lightly timbered, on fertile chocolate basalt loam soil and is well fenced into 5 large grazing paddocks and a number of smaller paddocks and tree plantations (currently running 50 ewes and 11 cows). Water security is assured in all seasons by a large permanent spring-fed dam with a solar pump to header tanks supplying stock and garden water, whilst rainwater for domestic use is stored in large storage/header tanks above the house.
With an abundance of bird life, and very private access to swimming holes on its 600m frontage of a pristine wilderness section of the Pambula River, this property is an absolute coastal haven.
