Rustic Charm with Views, Gold Mines, Olive Grove & Abundant Wildlife!
50 acre property on two titles backing on to the Metcalfe State Forest ,with such stunning views, a large lake-like dam, full fencing and with gold mines thrown in, it has to be a winner !
Not to mention the big shed (20 metres X 10 metres) with 4 car spaces, part concreted with one space enclosed.
With two main and one auxiliary tank whose overflow is gravity fed to the dam, which reduces the need for pumps and therefore electric power., and the fire-fighting outlets which are also gravity fed reduce fire risk.
There is a bungalow on the property that is fully fitted. The main room has a magnificent Open Fireplace, and for a quick burst of heat, there is a split-system air-conditioner.
Everything about this property is truly beautiful....and the most stunning of all is the log cabin. This is something to write home about.
It epitomizes rustic artisan architecture. The great slabs of railway sleepers that have been made into benches and cupboards and then finished with a high-gloss epoxy resin. The spacious pantry and the upright 4 burner cooker is practical , but the freestanding ESSE wood-burning combustion oven is an absolute dream.
When it comes to the bedrooms, the MASTER has simply stunning views, it also has dual ward-robes and an adjacent bathroom with a Victorian style clawfoot bath.
Throughout this cottage there are interesting pieces of memorabilia from times gone by, that are artistically displayed to create interest and therefore conversation.
Looking from this beautiful log-cabin onto the surrounding hills you will catch a glimpse of an old dray, or logs around the dam of differing heights to create a conversation area.
Everything about this property has been well thought out to make the most of the stunning surroundings and be in harmony with the wild-life and native birds . There has been a lot of thought given to the gravity-fed irrigation, and the lack of irrigation to the 100 thriving olive trees which are planted in European style, on the side of a hill and not over-watered, so that the roots grow down to the water table rather than spreading near the surface.
