When Julian and Joan Baker inspected a vacant 127 Murray River Road Talgarno some 35 years ago, they knew that this 3.3-acre -1.35 ha property with absolute Lake Hume frontage would offer them a lifestyle second to none. Nestled amidst this natural environment the land offered a sanctuary where every day felt like a retreat. The Baker family, founding owners of exclusive B &H Homes in Albury decided that only a flagship home from their award winning “Belrose” series would serve as the centrepiece of this idyllic setting. Crafted with the B&H Homes attention to detail and designed for both comfort and elegance, this home stands as a true testament to refined rural living. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by spacious rooms and large, well-considered glazing that invites natural light throughout the space. Other signature features include high 2700mm ceilings, strong roof lines, steep pitched, turret roof system and the classic B&H Homes clerestory entry window, which all contribute towards that classic Australian look that is synonymous with the award-winning builder. The architecture seamlessly blends modern amenities with gracious living, creating a timeless appeal that resonates with both tranquillity and sophistication. The home comprises four (4) spacious bedrooms all with built in robes and large windows to take advantage of the surrounds. The magnificent master suite offers a light filled, north-east facing aspect via both bay and picture windows. The ultra-modern ensuite offers dual vanities and a shower with large glass window overlooking the garden and Lake Hume. Large walk-in robe and an adjoining study/office. Open plan living has a chef’s gourmet kitchen at its heart. Quantum quartz stone to the island servery and bench tops, soft closing drawers and cupboards, quality Smeg pyrolytic combination ovens and appliances, a day pantry and a walk-in pantry are just a few of the features of this stunning area. An adjoining meals area overlooks the garden and Lake Hume. The family room offers informal living with a sliding door to outdoor entertainment area. The formal lounge/dining room is the epitome of elegance with built in bookcases and custom cabinetry, French doors to garden and outdoor entertainment area, open fireplace and a bay window overlooking the inground pool and Lake Hume. Quality floorcoverings, window furnishings and light fittings throughout. The garden surrounding this home has been lovingly created over the years to take advantage of the natural surrounding beauty and low maintenance living. A creative mix of native and deciduous trees, sweeping lawns and several garden beds make a beautiful backdrop for the blue water of the Lake. Reliable water with rainwater and a Stock and Domestic license. Reticulated watering system in place. A feature of the property is an avenue of established crab-apples and Manchurian pears leading from the undercover entertainment area to a gazebo overlooking the water. An ideal spot for unwinding with a book or just to sit and enjoy the soothing silence of nature while savouring the picturesque views. A self-cleaning inground pool with glass fence and paved sitting areas is ideally located.
