"Bon Accord" is a beautiful, gracious home with 11ft ceilings, VJ walls, timber flooring & wide verandahs. Built in 1894 by Scottish immigrant William Skene when he settled in the area and established a successful citrus orchard on the surrounding land over 44 years. The property was then owned by the Ferrier family from 1968 to 1992 who were dairy farmers. The home was extended in 1997 by a Mr Percival, with a whole new wing attached by an open breezeway. The current owners completed tasteful renovations in 2018 and have made it a delightful blend of easy modern living and a by gone era. Several rooms including the breezeway were enclosed to create light filled rooms with large windows. Coastal views can be enjoyed from several rooms & the wide verandahs are ideal for entertaining. The large country kitchen was upgraded with modern appliances, white cupboards & timber bench tops. The dining room/sunroom flows nicely from the kitchen. Offering 4 bedrooms with built-ins, 2 bathrooms, a home office as well as formal and family living. The cosy lounge room with fireplace and built in bookcase opens onto the east facing verandah. Ample rainwater storage tanks with 88,000 litres plus a new wastewater system. A large shed sits nicely away from the home and perfect for an art studio or handyman's workshop. The two original, rustic timber sheds at the front of the property were milking and cream rooms in days gone by and now used for storage. Double carport is next to the home plus parking at the old original milk shed and in the new shed. The home is set on 5097m2 of lawns & established gardens and huge shady Camphor Laurels. Located in Montville near Kondalilla Falls National Park and just 5 Minutes to Montville or Mapleton towns.
