This is a home for those who want something different from the standard Australian fare.

Constructed from stone-look concrete block with much use of recycled timber it gives the impression of an historic home rather than a modern building. With under-floor heating, split system air-conditioning and a modern kitchen you will enjoy all the usual conveniences.

The heart of the home is the huge north facing family room with its soaring vaulted ceiling. Adjoining this is the character filled timber kitchen complete with 900mm gas stove. A separate dining room across the hall connects to a formal sitting room which features a stone fireplace. The classic style staircase with turned wood balustrades and beautiful wood paneling was rescued from an old English cottage and adds to the heritage feel of the home. French doors and gothic arched doorways from a 200 year old French church adorn many of the rooms and transport you to another time.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and the beginnings of another bathroom. There is still work to be completed here which can be done to your own taste. The main bedroom downstairs is huge and enjoys its own walk in robe and French doors onto the verandah. It conveniently adjoins the bathroom which is filled with antique fittings and is built around a charming circular bath.

Behind a doorway built into the stair paneling is a hidden cellar. Currently used as extra bedroom space it has facilities to store 175 bottles of wine. It would easily be utilized as a traditional cellar capable of storing hundreds of bottles in perfect conditions.

There are too many features of this home to describe them all. Attention to detail with an abundance of antique fittings and touches make this a unique property in today's world.

There are magnificent views from the many cedar small paned windows overlooking the private tree-studded four acres. The grounds are fenced into paddocks with hundreds of new trees planted around the boundaries. Facilities include a gazebo (beside the dam), fernery, BBQ area, two separate patios for entertaining, chook yards, vegetable gardens and an enormous shed suitable for a variety of uses.

Water is abundant with a dam, licensed bore, several tanks and a system connecting them all together.

If you are in the market for a very special home which is unique in the Canberra market you need to arrange an appointment as soon as possible. The last time it was placed on the market it sold immediately. Make sure you are not the one who misses out.
