Property designed with family in mind

.

With three homes, stunning gardens, grazing paddocks and a productive home orchard, this rural property is made to be shared.

The property has been designed and developed with family in mind – parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren – and many memories have been made here over the past 20 years.

The owners were one of the first residents of Edgehaven Lane, choosing the 4.67-hectare “paddock” because there were no overhead powerlines, no busy roads or river nearby, and it was safe to open the doors and say to their grandchildren “just go”.  Which they did.

No longer a paddock, the flat fertile land has been thoughtfully developed to include a substantial three-bedroom home with attached two-bedroom granny flat, designed to provide close, but separate, accommodation for elderly parents.  The house and flat are connected via the internal-access double garage and a covered verandah that runs the length of the home.

There’s also a separate two-bedroom cottage nearby in the same style with its own driveway and single garage. This has been successfully rented previously as permanent and holiday accommodation.

Everything about this property is impressive – the size and scale, the design and styling, and the attention to detail – starting with the statement entrance foyer with its vaulted macrocarpa ceiling.

Beyond this lies the hub of the home, a
spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining area that opens to the verandah and overlooks the garden.  There’s a separate media room off the living areas that is specifically for watching television, freeing up the communal spaces for socialising and conversation.

There’s also a separate sitting room that opens to the garden, with an adjacent library. The master bedroom is located at this end
of the house with a walk-in wardrobe and
en suite. The other two bedrooms are off the main hallway along with the family bathroom, which includes a direct-access shower and corner spa bath.

The home has been designed to follow the sun. In the morning, it warms up the
bedrooms, travelling around to the front verandah and generating a warmth through the concrete floor that lasts well into the evening.

Outside, there are plenty of sheds including a separate three-bay garage with workshop, two 40ft containers and one 20ft container. There’s also a high-stud arched container shelter offering extra cover for a large caravan, motorhome or boat.

The grazing land is well fenced into paddocks and there’s an established olive grove around the home along with a home orchard that includes fruiting cherries, figs, pears, apples, guavas and more.

With so much on offer here, viewing is essential.
