Architect John Fowler designed this beautiful north facing and professionally built mud brick home with the intention of creating a cherished family home seamlessly integrated with the natural world around it. The warm timber and rammed earth finish on the brick delivers a feeling of connection to the surrounding 3 acres of gently undulating land creating a popular gathering spot for local kangaroos, and with matured gum trees occasionally occupied by a hungry koala.
Light filled and energy efficient, the residence comprises a generous 5 bedrooms each with built in robes and ensuite to the main bedroom. Central family bathroom with freestanding clawtooth bathtub services the remaining rooms with a separate toilet. In the heart of the home sits the sunken lounge and open dining with a gorgeous open fireplace and raked timber ceiling leading into the kitchen which offers blackwood benchtops, celery top pine overhead and kitchen cupboards. Gas cooking plus high end Rayburn Royal kitchen combustion stove with wet back heating of hot water if running. Connecting the two levels of the home sits a multipurpose/rumpus room currently being used as a music room. For those looking to relocate and work from home, you are covered by the home office flanking the front entry with 25mbps NBN and copper wire Telstra services available. The home is temperature controlled via the open fire, two reverse cycle air conditioners or the Rayburn stove. There is also an electric hot water system with adjustable booster timer. 21 solar panels are fitted on the roof with panel optimisers giving 6.6kW Solar Edge power system.
The covered outdoor gazebo has played host to many family gatherings, birthdays, and celebrations over the years. The perfect spot to sit back and relax with a cuppa and enjoy the views through the tranquil bushland. For those warm sunny days, the gazebo is equipped with outdoor rollers blinds.
Outside, the entire property is fully fenced including a dog proof fence around the house. The remaining mainly grassed land would be great for horses or makes for the ideal hobby farm. The established orchard hosts an array of fruit and nut trees including walnuts, chestnuts, lemon, lime, olives, bay, apple, cherry, grapefruit and a large vegetable garden. To top your rural experience off, at the rear of the property sits a permanent dam.
The property offers frontage and access to both Coxall Road & Braniffs Road. All weather access is available through the centre of property plus a concreted driveway to the attached 6m by 10m garage with workshop and lined ceiling and 6m extra height panel lift entry suitable for a high caravan or boat. Additional outbuildings consist of a 5x4 machinery shed, 3x3 garden shed. 6000L water tank with fire pump and proper fire hose system.
It's hard to believe that given the privacy and serenity of this property, you are just a 5 minutes drive to Churchill and Federation University. A property that is ready for a new family to take ownership and create lasting memories.
