Has there ever been a better time to embrace the serene beauty of a tree change? This is an unmissable opportunity to acquire a perfectly manageable rural property, ideally situated within close proximity to Canberra. Picture yourself and your family delighting in its exquisite features and potential for inter-generational living, a truly idyllic sanctuary.

Tucked away on approximately 1.45 acres, this magnificent solar passive Australian colonial residence commands a prime position amidst beautifully landscaped gardens. The expansive open space out the back provides ample room for children and pets to play freely.
The unique country charm of the sustainably sourced Canadian cedar exterior walls and windows creates a warm glow and beautiful contrast to the surrounding gardens. Large glass windows enhance the main family room area, flooding it with natural light and welcoming the morning sun. Exquisite slate flooring flows seamlessly through to the functional timber country kitchen and open-plan meals area, creating a warm and inviting hub for family life and serving a dual purpose of absorbing heat in the winter months to radiate warmth throughout the cold winter nights.
Bi-fold doors elegantly open to the formal lounge, which is thoughtfully positioned adjacent to the master suite, offering the flexibility to be utilised as a private parents' retreat if desired.
Lovingly renovated, this home offers a harmonious combination of classic country homestead charm and modern upgrades, ensuring comfort and convenience. The segregated master bedroom is a true sanctuary, boasting a huge walk-in robe and modern ensuite. The other three spacious bedrooms all feature convenient built-in robes, offering ample storage.

The property also provides invaluable additional accommodation for extended family or guests in the form of a separate self-contained Granny Flat/Studio. This versatile space includes a kitchenette, a full bathroom, a European-style laundry, and enjoys a sunny aspect, ensuring comfort, privacy and independence for its occupants.

This is a unique, easy-to-manage, and exceptionally versatile property, meticulously designed to embrace the tranquil rural setting. Enjoy the convenience of an easy 5-minute drive to the local village, a mere 26 minutes to Canberra suburbs, and approximately 43 minutes to Canberra CBD.
