Through stone entry pillars at the end of Walden Lane, the sealed drive climbs gently to the three homes in this private enclave. Automated gates and a delivery shed mark the entrance to 49C’s exclusive driveway. As the seal continues, it overlooks a grazing gully with areas of bush and passes a large staging area with a stockyard and established infrastructure with additional covered storage, and a large Kiwispan shed. The final easy rise to the house site skirts an expanse of flat land with endless improvement and recreational options.

Expansive hardscaping, conceived for easy manoeuvring and ample parking, greets visitors with both covered main and service entries to the home. Views dominate from the moment of arrival.

The main living area, well connected to a massive loggia, creates a vast space and connects to a more intimate family room that can be closed off for media and other separate activities. The kitchen is modern and functional, with a focus outward through the lounge and dining area to the views.

A stairway from the living area leads to an ensuited bedroom and a northwest-facing private balcony. Once upon a time, this was the master bedroom, and it’s clear why; it is still fit for this purpose if preferred. Adjacent to this bedroom at the top of the stairwell is the "crow’s nest," an ideal office space or a place for a quiet escape.

A wide, well-lit hallway continues to deliver views and connects the entry and living area with a powder room, three bedrooms, a shared family bathroom, and a laundry. The practicality of the centrally located laundry is further enhanced by its mudroom entry. Two of the three bedrooms also enjoy a direct outdoor connection and rural views to the east.

At the turn of the hallway, and privately positioned, is a generous master suite, made to feel even more so by its exclusive deck space. The master dressing room and spacious ensuite with an integrated powder room were indulgences of the renovation.

The modern Kiwispan shed has two bays and a workshop space with considerable additional storage offered by adjacent enclosed and covered structures. This area presents smartly, all painted to match, and creates a highly functional lower utility zone ideal for motorhome storage, boats, classic vehicles, or trade equipment, among many other uses.

Closer to the home sits a loose box and a powered shed with a myriad of possible uses. The land is well serviced with good fencing and water troughs supplied via the home’s rainwater tank. A second town-supply water storage tank ensures the ultimate in water security for the property.

Previously utilised for equine and grazing use, the property has shifted with considerable care and investment toward more flexible lifestyle amenities, while retaining features that may appeal to those seeking light grazing or hobby use.

Room for all manner of living and lifestyle with fresh air, freedom, and sunrise-to-sunset views.
