Enjoy Your Own Hills Hideaway
30 acres. Scenic hills hideaway includes 3 bedroom home on two levels. Combination of undulating grazing paddocks with picturesque bushland including large dam.
LAND: 30 acres. Being located only 3km from Greenhill Road this hills hideaway is easily accessed, yet provides a great escape from suburbia. The land combines undulating grazing pastures with sections of natural vegetation with the home surrounds embraced by gardens that feature many rhododendrons, camellias, fruit trees, nut trees and other plants that thrive in this cool climate. Two driveway entrances lead the way to the shed, carport and home where the views are far reaching over the surrounding countryside to Mt Barker. The property has been utilised in the past for horses and sheep with some fencing work required to bring the land back to the condition required to accommodate these activities. Take a stroll down the cut track to the large dam at the bottom of the property. Once down here the only sounds you are likely to hear are those of the birdlife, which gives a real sense of Australian bushland. The dam is fed by two creeks and provides a generous supply of water for stock and gardens.
RESIDENCE: Constructed some 60-70 years ago, the home is very comfortable. Its construction material is primarily solid including stone and rendered block with a later extension that is across two levels. The upper level, being the main section of the home, comprises the centrally positioned kitchen, adjoining family / meals area and the lounge room. Access to the deck is from the lounge whilst a sliding door links the meals areas to the sunroom where the stairwell is located. Still upstairs, the bathroom and three more rooms provide living and accommodation options that are currently set up as 2 bedrooms, both with built in robes, and another lounge. The lower level provides a galley style utility area suitable for office, library, or even a cellar and connects to the very large laundry. With a little vision, some cosmetic upgrades and some rolling up of the sleeves to do a bit of maintenance, this home can be your little gem.
IMPROVEMENTS: The first structure after entering the property is a 40’x20’ shed with sliding door, concrete floor and 3 phase power. Next is a freestanding double carport with concrete floor. Water for the property is stored in a 20,000 gallon concrete rainwater tank and a 15,000 gallon dam header tank. A bore is on the property however is not in use. Near the home is a structure that matches the residence which is used for storage but will no doubt be utilised for so much more. Other structures include the chookhouse.
