Discover understated luxury, authentic character and stunning architecture from the moment you arrive. Perfectly positioned on approximately five acres between the sandy beaches and trendy cafes of Turners Beach and the picturesque country village of Forth, this large family home oozes charm and appeal.
Built circa 1900, this quaint country cottage has been transformed into a spacious, modern family home whilst retaining the character of the original homestead with high ceilings, spacious rooms and sensational entertaining spaces.
An open plan kitchen and dining forms the core of the home offering floor to ceiling windows that overlook the established country gardens. Rich timber accents combined with the crisp contemporary kitchen deliver a flawless mesh of modern conveniences and the stylish elegance of yesteryear. This space flows freely to the original section of the home that has been re-painted, new carpet laid and new window furnishings fitted throughout the spacious lounge, master bedroom, ensuite and two upstairs bedrooms. As you pass back through the kitchen and dining space take note of the stunning cedar french doors that open out to the wrap around deck that can also be accessed via tri slide doors from the sun-drenched family room enabling seamless indoor/outdoor flow throughout the home. Each and every room in this home provides an everchanging vista over the rolling pasture, cottage gardens and the plethora of fruit trees in the orchard.
Moving through the hallway you will arrive at the main bathroom that offers a large and luxurious oversized bath and separate shower and is conveniently located close to the remaining three bedrooms that all feature built in robes. Storage is a continuing feature of this family home and has been carefully considered throughout. Depending on your personal circumstances, the sixth bedroom could be utilised as a home office. The laundry is tucked away behind the kitchen and has its own access point to outside with a handy third toilet. The extension to this beautiful residence was completed in 2009 and no expense has been spared with quality craftsmanship and an efficient design with double glazed windows throughout the extension and extensive insulation including a pod slab and a sealed blanket wrapped exterior that offers a solar efficient design.
Moving outdoors, the yard around the house is fully fenced with dog proof fencing with wallaby fencing surrounding the remainder of the property and Equibraid electric fencing for the internal horse paddocks. Whether you have horses or livestock, chickens or sheep, this property has something for everyone! Running along the front of the home you will find an orchard with a plethora of fruit trees including pears and apples, apricots and mulberries. You will also find an impressive avocado tree with hundreds of Avocados plus a lemon and lime tree and a chicken coup will ensure that your chickens can provide you with fresh eggs! If you are after shed space, look no further! A 17.5m x 6m Modern Cyclad shed offers three, three-metre-high bays with horse stable and two 6m x 3.5m lockable sheds on either end, one with roller door and the other with laundry trough and gas hot water that is supplied to a horse wash bay. Another impressive feature of this property is the 60m x 20m Olympic quality dressage arena that has been professionally built with full drainage system and a sand/rubber surface. The arena can be lit at night time with flood lighting fitted to the shed. The storage space just keeps coming with another 10m x 6m double length garage/workshop that is complete with an automatic garage door and wood heater.
This is country living at its very best with all the benefits of town conveniences such as town water which is connected to all paddocks. A rainwater tank is also available. Numerous deck and paved areas are at your disposal for family entertaining or sitting back with a good book to enjoy your surrounds. This is a true family home where the whole family can create amazing lifetime memories by having the ultimate platform to utilise. Space for every dream and activity.
