With sweeping vistas of rolling green paddocks and sunshine hued yards, it’s easy to see why this 25 acre farm stole the current vendor’s hearts at first sight 20 years ago. 14 Arran Circuit is very much a working property with the owners’ keeping cattle, horses, sheep, goats and alpacas on the holding but thanks to all the luxe touches, the home itself feels more like a country retreat than a farmhouse. The design has its roots in a Queenslander with its wide, wrap around veranda, weatherboard cladding and elevated position; it’s a home built for country life. When you enter the home, you feel like the outside comes in and that you’re connected to nature via carefully framed views that capture light and landscape through the seasons. “I love that our house is open and breezes flow straight though keeping the place cool during the warmer months” say the current homeowners. An all-white kitchen can create a calming and streamlined ambience in which to work and entertain. Here, a focal point in the kitchen is a picture window that was designed to bring in the surrounding farmland vistas and natural light. Stone benches, gas cooking and a walk-in pantry will spoil the cook of the family and a spectacular pendant light hung in the kitchen is just a striking as a piece of artwork. Choose to end a glorious day with family and friends while candles and fairy lights twinkle on the elevated deck or by the fireplace pergola. It’s a joy to come out here on a Summer evening and listen to the kids laughter in the pool. Poolside BBQ’s, early morning swims and late-night dips: having a swimming pool in your backyard is the very definition of the great Australian dream. “Summer is the best here – we’re outside all the time either in the pool or tinkering on the farm” says the current owners. “The kids can have a true free-range childhood, they love to be outdoors, engaging with nature”. With 320m of river frontage along the Paterson River including your own private pontoon, boat ramp and winch, the options of where and how to spend your time outside are endless. The pontoon is fully decked out with three phase power, NBN connection, lighting and CCTV covering the boat ramp and pontoon. Not just a recreation area, the river frontage also provides for irrigation to most of the farm and supplies one of the dams with aeration. As a working property, nothing has been overlooked for single person stock management. Three dams and a highway of irrigation systems along with the climate and soil conditions of these river flats means that the carrying capacity for cattle is very high for the region (currently holding 30 head) and the planning of the paddocks to funnel cattle when rotating stock allows for one person to easily move animals from paddock to paddock. Two of the paddocks are fenced to allow for alpacas, sheep or goats and there are three bays of stables across the property. A round yard, cattle yards and 50 head cattle crush on site are irrigated, lit, power is connected and they are protected by CCTV. A 12 x 9m free standing shed is separated into an open gravel storage area, extra height carport and additional section which is at lock up stage and could be fit out as a separate 2-bedroom accommodation (STCA) or office space. Multi-generation accommodation is more popular now that it has ever been before and if you are looking for somewhere for the adult kids to come home to for a while, somewhere for mum and dad or want to set up a farm stay on Airbnb a two bedroom fully self sufficient granny flat is ready and waiting for you just meters from the main house. It’s hard to believe you are only 20 minutes from the city when you live in a paradise surrounded by the river and open farmland; this stunningly designed property is a celebration of family and love.
