Treat yourself with this near perfect retreat for the ultimate balance of work and play.
This is self-contained luxury living on over 40 almost maintenance free acres with all amenities including full office facilities located in the peaceful ambiance of the Lower Mangrove Valley, just an hours drive from Wahroonga.
Escape the pressures and stress of city living and have the downstairs space to run your business or accommodate extra family within this superbly presented large property comprised of a stunning large home and substantial second building. Rarely do you come across a home with this level of attention to detail.
Home:
The household is to a very high standard, with four over-sized bedrooms on the ground floor including large main bedroom with walk-in robe and over-sized ensuite, main bathroom, a superbly presented separate dining room with pressed metal ceiling adjacent to a comfortable sitting room, a large open plan beautifully appointed kitchen with large electric oven, convection microwave and cook-top together with an Australian made Stirling Thermalux wood stove. There are generous solid granite bench tops, wine fridge and dishwasher. This all flows out to a vast external undercover balcony offering stunning views across the valley.
The home has ducted air conditioning and large capacity combustion fireplace.
The lower level contains a spacious large office, a very large storage room with mobile Compactus storage system, massive open lounge area and a further additional large sewing room or further office facility. These three rooms could alternatively be used as over-sized bedrooms for guests or a large family. This all opens out to the lower level verandah. There is a state of the art large laundry, a third shower and toilet together with private outdoor spa facility.
Land:
Tranquil forest, valley and water playground.
There are many walking tracks throughout the property and the original Old Sydney Road passes through on its way to the original loading area onto barges for taking local produce to Sydney.
The waters of Mangrove Creek can be accessed at the lower corner of the property.
Approximately 1 acre adjacent to and above the road is ideal for a vegetable garden or a horse. 1.5 acres between the road and creek offer further good pasture on flat ground.
The property is serviced by well-constructed concrete paved driveways and protected by substantial retaining walls and well-designed drainage. Construction is of featured designer blocks with double block cavities in all external walls. The shed uses the same designer blocks to match the home. The structure sits on massive concrete footing on sandstone rock.
A substantial interconnected water system ensures an abundance of drinking water and a dedicated water tank for firefighting if needed.
Garage:
The impressive designer block second building features lock up garage space for 4 cars, a mezzanine storage floor, kitchen, toilet and shower facilities. A glass sliding door separates the garage from extra undercover storage area at the rear of the garage, containing a tool room and a heavy-duty industrial diesel power generation plant housed in a special room. This building was home for the owners and their children while building the main home, completed in 2007.
3 Phase power is connected to the property and a complete home security system is installed, including camera and intercom at the electronically controlled front gate.
