This architect designed 7 bedroom home is nestled in a protected location on approximately 8.9 ha (22 acres) with views of the countryside and surrounded by picturesque private landscaped gardens. Located approximately 10 mins from Queanbeyan and 20 mins from Canberra airport it is bitumen to the block and school buses service the area. The large family home comprises 5 bedrooms plus a connected 2 bedroom guest wing giving it a versatile layout that will suit extended families or guest accommodation. You will love the main bedroom upstairs with balcony and its vista to enjoy a wine at the end of the day or a coffee in the morning. Its cypress pine floors, his and hers sinks, walk in robes and separate reverse cycle aircon complete the picture. The guest wing has its own kitchenette and bathroom, under stair storage as well as a decent size lounge room and like most rooms in the house, it has outdoor access via large sliding doors. There are plenty of options for climate control throughout the house, with slow combustion fire and electric wall heater to the family room and slow combustion fire to the loungeroom and gas heating to the guest wing. The country style kitchen is the hub of the home and has plenty of bench space and storage. This along with a separate laundry, mud room and bathroom with its own courtyard/fernery make this a very comfortable home with all the mod cons. Adjacent to the main house is a fully insulated, 'garden' office which has a lovely ambience. It is currently used as a 'girl cave' for sewing and crafts however it would also be ideal for the home office worker. All desks, office chairs and filing cabinets are included. The easy care garden around the house is fully landscaped with a paved area at the rear plus a gazebo and a built-in bbq out the front, both great places for entertaining. Power and water to the area, garden taps are fed from a water tank at top of block. Several fruit trees including cherry, apple, plum and lemon (for those G&T's on the balcony!.) For the car enthusiast (or anyone who just wants lots of extra storage) there is a large shed with 4 roller doors, 15amp power and car ramps nearby. There are also 3 other small sheds plus a wood shed and 4 bay carport. 2 rainwater tanks with collection points from most sheds and house, a bore and two dams are a must for dry times.
