Overview
Situated within the picturesque New England high country, this expansive rural property spans approximately 38 hectares (94 acres) and combines diverse natural features with established, versatile infrastructure to create an exceptional lifestyle offering.
The main residence is a charming, north-facing home enveloped in rustic character, featuring three bedrooms and a single bathroom, warm timber flooring, custom timber windows, and a wood-fired heater that enhances the homely atmosphere. Its elevated setting is complemented by generous wrap-around decking on the northern and eastern aspects, ideal for enjoying expansive rural views and outdoor entertaining. An additional covered deck on the southern side adds to year-round outdoor living enjoyment.
Beyond the main house, the property includes a self-contained one-bedroom granny flat complete with kitchenette, bathroom, and a covered deck overlooking native forest, perfect for extended family or guests. Adding further accommodation options is a recently built guest suite with contemporary finishes, an ensuite, and air conditioning, enabling comfortable hosting or potential rural tourism ventures.
Significant outbuildings and equine infrastructure enhance the property's versatility. Facilities include a newly constructed two-bay horse stable, a dedicated tack room, wash bay with hot water, and a covered area designed for horse float parking. There is also a three-bay machinery shed with a lockable bay and extensive storage shelving, alongside added parking for vehicles and machinery, as well as a fully enclosed dog run with high fencing. These features support a small-scale farming or equestrian lifestyle with practicality and convenience.
The land encompasses a variety of terrain, transitioning between open grazing paddocks and mature, old-growth Australian hardwood forests. This blend of pasture and natural habitat provides ample opportunity for livestock grazing, recreational riding, and appreciation of native wildlife within a private rural environment. Water security is a notable asset with rainwater tanks servicing the dwellings, boasting over 100,000 litres of storage capacity, supplemented by existing earthen dams supplying stock water to support livestock and horses.
This property offers a unique blend of established accommodation, equine facilities, productive land, and natural beauty, increasingly rare in the market. It suits those seeking a private family retreat, an equestrian lifestyle, or a productive acreage with potential for diversified rural living.
An inspection is recommended to fully appreciate the property's scale, charm, and the lifestyle possibilities it affords in the New England region.
