APPOLOGIES, HOME OPEN CANCELLED.

Hold on to your breath as this delightful residence could whisk it away! Nestled amongst a mixture of beautiful bush and stunning orchards this charming home is the epitome of an old French Farmhouse. Set on just under 7 acres, and surrounded by majestic bush, this is a perfect escape to the country whilst still only being a 45 minute drive to the City and easy driving distance to all the local amenities and schools.

With a choice of two front entrances, you'll love the doors leading to the stylish open plan kitchen, family and dining room with soaring white timber lined ceilings, honey toned Cyprus Pine floors, a classy kitchen with stone benchtops and numerous cupboards and drawers, a superb stone feature chimney housing a Stanley wood fire stove for those cosy winter days, and a free standing Ariston stove for everyday cooking.

The formal dining room (or second study) is a room like no other! Lined in stone, each wall is a mystery to discover, with ancient fossils and beautiful polished crystal slabs interspersed throughout. Antique French imported timber and glass doors lead through to the huge second living area where gleaming Sheoak floors create a warm ambience and stunning floor to ceiling (antique French imported) doors with coloured glass panels, and matching windows, still with original glass, create a rare combination of style and flair.

The Master bedroom and ensuite is privately tucked away and adjacent to a home office overlooking the orchard, and the large junior bedrooms are situated in their own wing, two with built in wardrobes and all with new carpets. This wing also includes the family bathroom, separate WC and the laundry.

The entertainment area will house the largest of gatherings and enjoys direct access to the garden, and the magnificent pool will provide endless hours of fun for the kids; or peace and tranquillity for yourself, while you sit on the edge with your toes in the water, surveying your lush and fruitful orchard, watching the last rays of the sun disappear and the twinkling lights of the stars come out.

The fully reticulated orchard carries almost every type of fruit tree you can imagine; orange, fig, mulberry, mandarin, peach, nectarine, cherry, pomegranate, apricot, almond, grapefruit and mango. There is also a large marron/fish pond ready for you to stock with your personal preference. And for those of you who love a big shed, you'll find the "Mother of all sheds" here, spanning a huge 180sqm.
