Immerse yourself in a Hamptons-style family retreat in Yass

From the minute you approach the grand driveway of 13 Wilson Place, Yass, you're overwhelmed by the combination of spectacular countryside views and modern design.

Timothy Road real estate agent Tim McInnes describes the home as " a one-off, unique opportunity" for anyone interested in a single-level home on a huge 1714sqm block.

“This property has got a really grand entrance driveway and beautifully-landscaped yard, and it’s located in a beautiful setting,” Tim says.

“I'd describe it as a Hamptons-inspired home.

“The majority of the property enjoys a sun-drenched northerly aspect, and when you enter you’ll see the really amazing fireplace and lounge room, which just adds to the super cosy and comfortable aspect of the home.”

According to Tim, sunsets at the property are simply stunning.

“This home is just flooded with natural light," he says.

“It’s also got an open-plan kitchen and living room area with raked ceilings, which are really pleasing and unique.”

The living room has a fireplace, and ducted heating and cooling systems are located throughout the home.

“You’ve got a living area that basically flows straight off the foyer and then you’ve got another lounge room that’s a cool space to read or watch a movie by the fireplace,” Tim says.

“There are also glass sliding doors to both living areas that go out onto the deck.”

The kitchen has a combination of modern stone and stainless steel benchtops, a Smeg six-burner smoke cooker with a 90cm oven, a Bosch dishwasher, soft-close drawers and a fully-integrated fridge.

“One of the cool things about the kitchen is that you can see the fireplace and the backyard from the cooktop, so while you’re cooking, you can enjoy those sunset views," Tim says.

The Yass home features four big bedrooms and a study nook, with two bedrooms looking out onto the pool.

Tim says the pool and outdoor areas are among the best features of the home.

“You’re surrounded by enchanting gardens filled with mop tops, roses, silver birches, pear trees, daffodils, fruit trees and agapanthus,” he says.

“There’s a sandpit and a little cubby house, making it perfect for families with small children.

“The home also has two large water tanks, a double garage and a rear shed.”

Mount Carmel School, Yass Public School, Clementine’s bakery, Thyme to Taste, Roses Cafe and Yazz Wine Bar are all within walking distance. The neighbours are incredibly friendly.

“Your kids can play with their kids and it’s a really safe environment,” Tim says.

“It’s got that ‘old world’ feel to it. It’s definitely a great place to nurture friendships.”

And then there’s the location.

“It’s at the end of the cul-de-sac so kids can ride their bikes and play basketball – the possibilities are endless," Tim says.

"Up the hill, there’s a big fire pit which overlooks the Yass Valley - a great place to have a fire, toast marshmallows and stargaze at night. The views are just amazing.

“There’s a lot of really cool elements to the home. It feels like you’re in your own retreat.”

13 Wilson Place, Yass, will be auctioned at 11am on Saturday 13 August 2022.
