The vendors want to get interest moving.

• Price expectations have dropped

• A decision was made to improve the curb appeal by repainting the exterior cladding to refresh the look. It has made quite the difference.

This home is country charm personified. Starting with a long tree lined driveway, the entrance area is an invitation straight into this delightful kitchen. With its wood burning wet back stove, a centre island butchers block, a walk-in pantry and all the ingredients of an olde style country kitchen. Being open plan with the dining area it’s a great space to enjoy meals or just a sit down with family and friends.

Though for some the real draw card might be the large living room with its open wood fire. A great place to enjoy doing nothing, read a book, or surround yourself with the family and watch a movie with a cosy fire. As a single level home, the three double bedrooms are a few steps away.

The outside area is simply set-up to enjoy quiet time in the country and wait for an array of choice of fruit from literally 30 trees.

Could your prime interest include extended family options? There is a sizable unit that was repurposed from a workshop and used as guest accommodation. That is just one of the many attributes. If you want a bit more privacy for other members of the family, then there is the (temporary) accommodation at the front of the property. Both units have been classified as “separately used or inhabited parts” by the Council.

Maybe the priority is enough land to run a few horses over the five paddocks. With two spring water fed ponds, the scene becomes idyllic. There is also a four bay, high stud, implement shed. Could this be closed-in to store a few precious cars?

Please come to the open home or arrange a private viewing to see if this country gem will sparkle for you. It will be sold.
