If you are feeling the squeeze of suburban living, this is a wonderful chance to finally have the space and peace you desire, without compromising on location. The position here is a short 10min drive to the ever popular suburb of Strathfieldsaye. 
 
Strathfieldsaye offers an IGA supermarket, several schools, day care centres, kindergartens, recreation facilities, doctors, post office, bakery and more. In less than 10 minutes you could be enjoying a picnic, boating, or fishing at Lake Eppalock – a drawcard for nature and adventure lovers. 

Positioned on the corner, the 20 acres fronts both Candlebark Court and Emerald Hill Drive, and the home and shed are screened from the roadside by established stands of native trees and olive trees. The landscape is stunning and the private neighbourhood feels idyllic and secluded. The neighbourhood is close-knit and look out for each other, but also respect each other's privacy and quiet enjoyment. It's an area that is widely admired, and tightly held. 

Exuding farmhouse qualities, the home is incredibly welcoming and comforting. Beautiful leadlight glass depicting pairs of Kookaburras invite you indoors from the shady front verandah. Fresh air and a chorus of native birdsong spill through the windows and plantation shutters, and will delight and transport you to a state of relaxation. 

Storage throughout the home is excellent, and includes a walk in robe to the main and second bedrooms, and there is a built in robe to the third. Each of the bedrooms have ceiling fans, and the main is favoured with a modernised and stylish ensuite, as well as a parents retreat garden courtyard under the shelter of the front verandah. Like the ensuite the main bathroom has been tastefully updated and also features very practical floor to ceiling wall tiles. 

A new 900mm dual fuel cooker and rangehood await your hearty meals and baking, and the new dishwasher will make easy work of entertaining family and friends. The floor plan is ideal for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining, with a sliding door to the shady rear verandah, outdoor dining under shade sail, and grassy play space of the fenced house yard. 

The home is incredibly comfortable throughout the seasons with ducted refrigerated cooling and heating, supported by the ceiling fans to direct air flows. The crackle of the wood heater is incredibly ambient and cosy during the cooler months. There is solar hot water with mains electric backup, a 12 panel cost-reducing solar system, and plenty of rainwater storage. 

The land is a pleasing blend of cleared and treed areas for the family to enjoy their favoured outdoor pursuits, and for animals to seek shade and shelter. A scenic catchment dam conveys water to a hose reel in the house yard to maintain the grassy play area year round, and water veggie gardens and garden beds. The generous 12m x 7.8m steel shed has power and a concrete floor, and a 12m x 3.8m lean-to for undercover parking in addition to the carport.
