UNIQUE "HILLS" PROPERTY
UNDER OFFER BY TEAM KANTOR
You are going to fall in love with this unique “Hills” property which has so much to entice you with that you are never going to want to leave. Do you fancy living a life where you get back to nature and become more self sufficient? Eating tasty home grown fruit, curing olives picked from your olive grove or perhaps making wine from your grape harvest…..
Offering the original homestead (one of the first in the area) which has been extended and fully renovated AND a separate self-contained guesthouse which could potentially be used to house extended family or perhaps provide an additional source of income. The property is situated on a natural winter creek line in a valley and enjoys a pretty vista of different landscapes including a very picturesque dam which is home to the cutest family of ducks. Stunning, granite stone walls and meandering flagstone paths feature prominently throughout the mature, established gardens which include a large variety of fruit and ornamental trees.
A paved, green arbor winds down to the stone bridge which crosses over the winter creek line. The granite stone work is just magnificent and you will feel like you have wandered in to a Mediterranean taverna – pretty petunias and marigolds are in abundance around the obligatory lemon tree. Just imagine yourself sitting on the bar stool enjoying a nice cold glass of Aperol Spritz in the shade of the Chinese Elm on a hot summer’s day.

The homestead has been extensively remodelled and boasts an attractive kitchen with timber cabinetry, a feature stone wall under the breakfast bar and a striking bush pole. Stainless steel appliances include a free standing oven and cook top, rangehood and dishwasher, 1 ½ bowl sink with flick mixer tap and water filter. Overhead and under bench cupboards, three banks of drawers and plenty of work bench space make cooking here a breeze. A skylight provides additional natural lighting.
The family room is a generous size and there is a “Saxon” slow combustion wood fire to keep you warm in winter. The feature stone under the breakfast bar is replicated on the wall behind the fire. The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and a sliding glass door provides access outside onto the patio and views out over the valley.
Extensive tiling throughout, including the rock walling on the outside of the homestead and the high ceilings, keeps the home lovely and cool during the hot summer months. There is a minimal requirement for additional cooling – there are ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and a split system air conditioning unit in the master bedroom.
Outside there is a below ground, salt water swimming pool, newly turfed lawn area and flag paved patio areas perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. Café blinds and an outdoor heater make this a usable space in winter as well. The bridge and paved waterway set amongst attractive gardens make a delightful backdrop.
