A country, rural lifestyle awaits

IF a country or rural lifestyle sounds appealing, or a property with a mixture of pasture and open forest is enticing — this Middleton property might be the one to tick that “escape the city” box.

This 2019-built home sits on a near level 2.2ha of land with filtered views to the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.

The hard work of installing fencing, forest clearing, building carports, sheds and water supply has all been completed here at Wards Court.

On entry to the property the owner can drive up a newly constructed driveway lined with agapanthus and poplar trees.

Awaiting is a tastefully designed contemporary home with all the best facilities and appliances throughout.

The comfort of double glazing and a well-insulated shell provides year-round comfort and climate control.

The two living areas are integrated cleverly by a modern kitchen flowing seamlessly from one space to the other.

Bi-fold windows allow an easy and relaxed indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

A Scandia bakers’ oven and wood heater warm the living room while
baking or roasting a meal on a winter’s day.

The master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while the other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.

A fourth bedroom could be used as a hobby room or study.

There are plenty of storage cupboards, a separate laundry and large modern bathroom included in this stylish family home.

Outside, a small vineyard has been planted with cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay and pinot grape varieties.

A variety of fruit and avocado trees have also been planted.

There is an enclosed garden area of 12.5m x 6.3m and a small pumpkin growing area of 6m x 2.5m, plus a potato growing space that measures 30m x 12m — so the capacity to be self-sufficient is bound to appeal.

The house sits gently on the flat block with native gardens, a rose arch, lawn area and a small curved footbridge that crosses the overflow watercourse.

For those that require a substantial storage area, there is a new 12m shipping container with skillions on either side and there is emergency 12-volt lighting.

The area between the house and shed has been built up with road base for fire access to the water tanks.

A large electric pump has been installed to run the house at mains pressure.

A second pump runs from a small well in the back yard, 6m deep, and a winter spring-filled dam (18m circumference, 3m deep) is used for garden water.

Taps have been installed all around the yard and driveway.

This is a property where everything has been thought through to provide trouble-free life at this tree change delight.
