Overview

Set on an expansive 6,819 square meter allotment in the tranquil area of Eldorado, this lovingly restored Federation-style home blends timeless character with modern sustainability. The property's 6-star energy rating highlights its efficiency, while established gardens and comprehensive country lifestyle infrastructure appeal to homeowners seeking calm and practicality.

The house's classic Federation charm is immediately evident, with polished timber floors and soaring 14-foot ceilings featuring ornate cornices, ceiling roses, and plantation shutters. These architectural details create a spacious yet warm ambiance that respects the home’s heritage.

Natural light fills the central living and dining areas through large windows, offering scenic views towards nearby granite ranges. At the core lies a well-appointed country kitchen, equipped with stone benchtops and a large island bench paired with a substantial 110cm Falcon freestanding stove—ideal for both everyday cooking and entertaining. Adjacent dining spaces foster an inviting atmosphere for gatherings, enhanced by a Lopi wood heater that offers coziness through colder months.

Comfort and convenience continue with a large reverse-cycle Daikin split system and ceiling fans ensuring a pleasant environment year-round. Generous living spaces accommodate varied lifestyle needs, providing versatility for relaxation and social occasions.

The home's three bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, provide comfortable private retreats, complemented by a bathroom featuring a resin bath and a spacious double shower. Significant renovations have been undertaken, including restumping, a new galvanised iron roof and gutters, rewiring, replumbing, and comprehensive insulation, alongside fresh paintwork, underscoring the home's solid structural and aesthetic quality.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, with fully fenced grounds surrounded by mature trees and low-maintenance gardens. A northwest-facing alfresco deck offers an elevated, private vantage point to enjoy the peaceful bushland setting.

For those interested in productive gardening, the property boasts fertile red granite soils supporting a mature orchard with a variety of fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, and a dedicated chook yard. A bore-fed drip irrigation system and a large 110,000-litre rainwater tank ensure ample water supply, supplemented by a reliable bore servicing the orchard and gardens. The grounds are also dog-proofed, making it pet-friendly.

A large powered Colorbond shed with a striking 45-degree pitched roof features a mezzanine storage area and a high-clearance workshop, offering versatile space for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or potential mechanical work, including installation of a hoist or car stacker.

Additional benefits like fast fixed-wireless NBN, excellent insulation, and extensive water storage complete this property, which surpasses the charm of a beautiful period home to offer genuine country living with a blend of comfort, character, and functional infrastructure.

This home presents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious country lifestyle property that encourages gardening, relaxation, and entertaining without compromising on comfort or sustainability.
