Sensational Solar Passive Home!!
You wont ever have encountered a home like this before because it is truly unique. Quite deceiving from the outside you will be stunned when you enter the magnificent living room with its sun-drenched interior and soaring ceilings. Part of the dramatic effect is created by the massive stone feature walls and clever use of timber accents. This is echoed in the Blackwood timber kitchen complete with walk-in pantry and views from the kitchen sink which would entice the most reluctant to volunteer to wash the dishes ..... except that there is a dishwasher of course!
In fact there are views from most rooms in the house while the ensuite enjoys a spa with its own panoramic vista. The private setting of the home dispenses with the need for privacy curtains. The solar passive design minimises the need for heating and cooling while the chilly evenings are warmed by a huge centrally located slow combustion fireplace.
There is a wine cellar which is convenient to both the kitchen and your option of a library or separate dining room. The latter also doubles as a library. Up the stairs to the mezzanine is a marvellous spacious rumpus/recreation area which overlooks the living room. It currently accommodates a full-sized snooker table and would easily cope with a home theatre system.
There are too many special features to list individually but the attention to detail is obvious throughout while the immaculate presentation reflects the high standards of the current owners. This theme is carried through to the whole property. Water is a feature with three dams all interconnected so that water can be easily pumped to where it is needed for irrigation or firefighting. The house overlooks a private dam within the enclosed garden and literally has trout jumping out of it.
The grounds will be as well-presented as any you will have seen with ordered garden beds, paths and irrigation systems of the most extensive and detailed design.
The main shed is as extensive as you would expect - with an office area (partly equipped as living quarters), three workshops / garage bays and large carport area. Extra infrastructure includes a granite tennis court, cattle yards, a paddock system designed for easy stock movement and a not so miniature 18 hole golf course! Then there is the beautiful 8 hectare (20 acre) tree studded block which offers seclusion yet splendid views in all directions.
This brief description cannot hope to cover all the features of this magnificent property. Suffice to say it will repay any inspection where you can see for yourself the myriad of detail and special features not found in any rural property of this size.
Located some 11 kilometres from Bungendore it is within easy commuting distance from the ACT. Inspections are by appointment. Call for further details.
