Both enchanting and delightful, this property has a wealth of appealing components that make it hard to know where to begin. THE LAND The fertile soils of Stanley, comprising 8.3 acres of organically run freehold and one acre of crown lease, supports this stunning, cool climate garden which includes many rare and unusual plants. 28 Pioneer Road offers the buyer something rarely seen in the market - a combination of careful planning over 30 years, plentiful shade and bore water allow this garden to remain appealing and productive in all seasons. A very conscious decision was made 5 years ago in the development of a wild area around the old chestnut orchard. Included in Australia's Open Garden Scheme over past years, this garden and an extensive collection of Oak species is both renown and respected by many. The property is immediately adjacent to the historic Stanley Recreation Reserve. THE HOME A contemporary, renovated four bedroom residence, with double glazing and internal insulation, is the perfect family home. Featuring a clever kitchen with ample storage, two king sized bathrooms, a large study and sunroom, plus dedicated storerooms, there is room for everyone. There's even a second kitchen in the laundry - ideal for the avid preserver. There's an undercover rear veranda on the southside, whilst a large timber deck leads from the living areas and extends into the shady garden. THE COTTAGE Ideal for an independent elderly parent, or as it is now, for short stay income, this delightful one bedroom cottage has it all. A well equipped kitchen and light filled living room ensures this is the ideal private domain. SO MUCH MORE A deep blue inground heated swimming pool, with a cleverly designed solar panel roofed pavilion, is a haven within a haven. A mudbrick storage shed, large wood shed, plus 12m x 8m machinery shed means your tools are safe and dry. Beyond the 30 metre bore, there are three tanks holding approx. 90,000 litres. A 5kW solar system, with 27 panels reduces your carbon contribution whilst keeping energy bills in check. This brief description can only be truly appreciated by your private inspection of this remarkable property where you can immerse yourself in natures beauty.
