Offers Close Tue, 9th Jul - 2pm (usp)

Full of charm and packed with potential, Kalarah Springs offers character and tranquility, with a solid foundation for a peaceful rural lifestyle. Sitting proud, with a slight elevation, it encapsulates far reaching rural vistas and is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a lifestyle property with further opportunity to renovate and develop. A modern 2015 extension sees it suited to an immediate move in with the ability to personalize over time.

What we love:

• Privately located on a dead-end road, the approach to "home" is an immediate "wind down" as the vistas and sense of seclusion of Birdwood work their charm.
• A combination of old and new, the character of the original Settler's cottage has been retained. Requiring upgrade and currently disposed as a single bedroom and lounge room, this section of the home underpins its provenance and position within the local area.
• A sizeable dining area overlooks the extensive 5m x 8m covered outdoor entertaining area.
• Centrally located, the modernized kitchen with stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances was updated c2015 with the modern extension.
• Adjacent the kitchen is a generous study, a space currently adapted to the running of the home.
• Originally the meat safe and food store for the Cottage, the large pantry/larder has been incorporated into the home and conjures the slow life of yesteryear.
• The extension consists of large laundry with external access, oversized bathroom with luxurious spa and twin shower, large separate toilet, two bedrooms and a master suite.
• On vendors advice, a second bathroom remains concealed and in original condition. With previous approvals to convert into an ensuite (unfinished), not only is this a surprise opportunity but an excellent finish to a grand sized Master Suite… the time capsule is on the inside!

What we love on the outside

• Extensive outdoor infrastructure is a nod to the fundamentals of an excellent working property/hobby farm. Updated Creo fencing and interconnected raceways ensure ease of stock management.
• Water supply to paddocks and various stock shelters.
• The small upper spring fed dam feeds into the lower larger dam. Equipped with a pump, this is utilized for stock water and irrigation.
• Envirocycle and 23,000 Gallon rainwater tank plumbed to the house.

• Large, adjoined garage and workshop 6m x 9m and 6m x 5m respectively connected with 20,000L rainwater tank storage.
• Currently home to numerous alpacas, sheep and goats, the owner has accommodated 4 horses in the past.
• Chook enclosure.
