The executive style home makes a bold statement, set amongst lovingly cared for formal and informal gardens. The wide double door entry and impressive foyer reveal a splash of the spectacular; drawing the eye directly through the house to the hedge lined pool and the mountains beyond. The carefully crafted floor plan brings pracitical separation between zones, with parents at one end and guests and family at the opposite end with the shared open plan living area ensuring space to spread out when desired.
Ideal for entertaining the very well appointed chef's kitchen boasts ample bench, preparation and storage space, a 900mm gas cook top and fan forced oven, a broad breakfast bar with waterfall stone benches, a large fridge space and separate coffee nook. Wide stacker doors open the entire living area to the north facing gabled poolside alfresco. The beautiful master bedroom suite with its direct patio and pool side access also features a spectacular outlook, not the least of which is a birds eye view of the sun rising above the mountains. The well proportioned double ensuite will entice with its deep over sized spa bath, perfect for a good soak to relax after a day of riding or gardening.
If the last 2 years have taught us anything it’s the increased value we place on privacy, sustainability and the capacity to make that elusive work life balance a reality. That “one day” dream of escaping the rat race and following your heart, is now more possible than ever before. To find a property with all the attributes of manageable land size, good soil and rainfall, top notch infrastructure, a quality home, necessary connectivity and proximity to shopping,education and medical amenities and an airport is the typical stumbling block - but not for this property!
For those seeking a sustainable life, a little over half of the property is cleared paddocks with the balance being a mix of cleared land and native bush, also suitable for stock. The multiple horse paddocks lend themselves to regenerative rotation grazing, allowing for stock to be moved from paddock to paddock without strip feeding, a great way to manage feed and good interconnection makes moving stock and possibly relocating a chicken t tractor to follow along as well. The soil is a rich friable loam which drains well and has never been cultivated before so there are no residual chemicals. The spring fed dams have never dried up which suggests that investigating a site for a bore would be a striong possibility if required.
The township of Mapleton offers local shopping, medical centre, restaurants and hotel and a primary school and is a stepping off point to the rest of the beautiful Hinterland. Beaches, major shopping centres, restaurants, theatres etc. are all within 40 minutes’ drive.
