Rarely does a property from this era come on to the market in the Canberra region. Situated on an elevated position to take in panoramic views over Bungendore and Lake George, 'Auverne' is set on 31.5 hectares (75 acres) of quality agricultural land and offers a superb country lifestyle within approximately 30 minutes drive of Canberra's CBD, and 5 minutes to Bungendore. This unique property has been home to just 4 families over the last 120 years.

A circa 1890s homestead, 'Auverne' is considered a significant heritage property in the Bungendore area. The home has carefully been restored, renovated and extended over the years, retaining the original beauty and charm of the Late Victorian Style.

Offering 301m2 of living space it has north facing formal and informal living areas with four bedrooms and two bathrooms each with antique claw foot baths. The older areas of the home feature original wide Kauri pine floorboards, whilst the newer areas have gleaming Tasmanian Cherrywood flooring. The modern well appointed kitchen has a functional wood stove and the original enamel sink has been retained as a feature. In addition to the hydronic heating the home boasts five fireplaces, two in the original bedrooms.

Rock walls are featured in and around the house gardens, which include a number of paved areas. Ornamental grapes and wisteria cover the 'Ruin', an outdoor entertainment area complete with BBQ, fire pit and Wood Fired Pizza oven.

A tiled inground pool is housed in a fabulous building constructed with reclaimed vintage factory windows. There are horse stables, cattle yard and the old shearing shed.

The land is suitable for grazing 20-30 head of cattle and there is an abundant supply of bore water for the garden and a 25,000 litre rain water tank for the house.
'Auverne' offers a wonderful rural lifestyle with the charm of the old and the comfort of modern day living.
