“PRIVATE SANCTUARY – Surrounded by shade trees and with space to accommodate horses or a hobby farm, this secluded Duns Creek property is the perfect rural getaway.
Featuring a fully fenced boundary surrounding five level acres, which are dotted with tall stands of towering trees and large, cleared areas, the property has one paddock already set up and plenty of room for more.
An established citrus orchard and vegetable garden will provide a bountiful harvest for those seeking a more sustainable lifestyle, while there is plenty of room to establish a chicken coop for farm-fresh eggs.
An 800 litre per day pumping irrigation allocation from a community dam will keep the property well-watered while two large rainwater storage tanks totaling approximately 50,000 litres cater for your household needs.
A country homestead with plenty of character provides a wonderful family home for those seeking to enjoy a traditional country lifestyle in plenty of comfort, with expansive shady verandahs along the rear providing plenty of options to sit and enjoy the rural outlook.
The charming brick and Colorbond roof home was built in the 1970s and has been well maintained, with lovely original features that give it a cosy, country ambience.
Exposed timber beams and feature brick walls add to the home’s rustic appeal, while high raked ceilings and large floor-to-ceiling windows throughout enhance the spacious, light-filled interior.
A combination of timber floorboards, cork tiled flooring and cream-coloured tiles provide practical, hard-wearing flooring solutions throughout the home, with the floorboards complementing the home’s other extensive timber accents.
A country-style timber kitchen sits at the heart of the home, with a servery window linking it directly to the vast tiled meals and family room, while a sliding door allows direct access to another adjoining open plan dining and living area.
Overhead cabinetry with lead-framed frosted glass inserts and open shelving add to the kitchen’s traditional character, while a built-in dishwasher, four-burner cooktop and electric oven provide all the essentials.
A separate study is also accessible off the end of the kitchen, providing the ideal location for children to complete their homework while their parents prepare dinner, while sliding glass doors in both living spaces provide seamless connections to the covered rear verandahs, providing additional outdoor entertaining options with plenty of room for alfresco dining and a large lounge setting.
The sheer size of the living spaces make this home ideal for large families as well as those who love to entertain, with the versatile layout allowing you to create separate zones for adults and children to relax with their friends.
Families will also love the home’s four generously proportioned bedrooms, which all feature built-in wardrobes of various sizes including an expansive four-door wardrobe in the master suite for added storage.
Additional linen cupboards can be found in the hallway outside of the family bathroom, which has a separate toilet for practicality, while the laundry is also conveniently located in this area with direct access to the exterior of the home.
An attached double carport and a separate workshop or storage area at its rear add to the property’s long list of features.
