LAND:
2.127ha (5.25 acres) Simply a beautiful setting. Located in the tightly held area of Forest Range, Willow Creek provides a delightful small acreage with the most picturesque setting. The property has a little of everything and plenty of splendour with magnificent ornamental trees forming the framework of the home gardens. Stone lined walkways feature prominently amongst the camellias and many other flowering plants that thrive in this cool and protected area. Grassed sections create a park-like environment from the home down to the spring fed dam where it is easy to be lost in the tranquility. The gazebo on the edge of the dam is a gorgeous spot to relax while a great area to explore is under the willow of the creek junction. A plantation of Sydney Blue Gums will provide immediate and future benefits along with the domestic fruit orchard and designated vegetable garden. Amongst the varieties of deciduous trees are maples, birches, ash, willows and prunus. Natives include gums, wattles, grevilleas and bottlebrushes while fruits include apple, pear, apricot, plum and fig. For specific varieties of fruits, deciduous trees and other significant flowers on the property, a list is available on request. To live here you must be prepared to share the property with the abundance of birdlife along with koalas that frequent the area.
RESIDENCE:
This home is a superb reflection of the owners pride and is in keeping with the beautiful surrounds. Fine quality upgrades and enhancements blend with character features to make this immaculate home special. Entry to the home is into the enclosed portico with its tiled floor. From here you enter a magnificent light filled living area. The parquetry floor is a perfect blend with the stonework of the open fire place. Sunlight filters through the large window with timber framework and creates a wonderful eating area. The built-in bar here has a fixed wine rack, red gum bar top and under bench fridge space. The stunning kitchen, which is only 2 years of age, is equipped with Euro stainless steel appliances including built-in ceramic cooktop and oven with matching rangehood. The glass splashback is a striking feature while the deep soft closing drawers and clever use of cupboard design, including corner pantry, give the home its modern edge. The kitchen overlooks a casual living area where the raked ceiling and tiled floor emphasise the feeling of space. With a slow combustion heater positioned here, the open fire place, a pot belly stove in the main bedroom and ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, this home has year round comfort, be it instant or by cosying up to one of the wood burners. All three bedrooms are generous in size. The main bedroom has a built-in robe. The master bedroom has a built-in robe and its own balcony which is accessed via double doors. What a magnificent way to greet the morning with the birds singing as you overlook your own beautiful grounds. This timber decked area is one of a number that adjoin the home and add to the overall appeal of the property. The main bathroom is distinctive with its high timber ceiling, slate flooring and Grecian style sunken shower alcove and bath. Hollywood lights surround the large mirror. The vanity and toilet are also included in the upgrades. The ensuite is a full size bathroom. The home has been lovingly appreciated and enjoyed by its current owner for the last 34 years.
IMPROVEMENTS:
The shedding complex is across three levels and includes a 3 bay carport, workshop with power, recreation room and a small implement shed. Two poly tanks and a couple of modular tanks are interconnected and service the home which can be topped up by water from the spring via the dam.
