There are properties that fit neatly into a category – and then there is “Killarney”. Set on approximately 49.98 hectares (123.5 acres) on the very fringe of the village of Wongarbon, just 20 kilometres from Dubbo, “Killarney” brings together character, country lifestyle, outstanding improvements and the convenience of village living in one wonderfully unique package.
Wongarbon itself offers the warmth of a close-knit country community, with a K-6 primary school, pub, post office/general store and soon-to-open café, making “Killarney” an appealing opportunity for those wanting space and privacy without feeling completely removed from everyday conveniences.
Making the first impression, front and centre on the block, is Killarney's original cottage – a wonderful reminder of the property's history and a project just waiting for someone with imagination to bring it back to life. Its character and position present exciting possibilities for restoration and, subject to Council approval, potential future use as additional accommodation, a granny flat or perhaps even a charming farm-stay/Airbnb retreat.
Nestled privately behind the original cottage is the property's character-filled 2/3 bedroom residence, where brick and rock external walls, feature ironbark windowsills and beautiful natural materials create a home with warmth, individuality and an unmistakable country feel.
At its heart is a modern farmhouse kitchen featuring 40mm Caesarstone benchtops, a white double farmhouse sink, 900mm Westinghouse gas cooktop and electric oven, ample cabinetry and pantry storage, mosaic tiled splashback and beautiful leadlight pendant lights. The kitchen opens to the dining area, complete with reverse cycle split system air conditioning.
A spacious family room continues the country character with an open fireplace, fixed iron doors and timber mantle, while an enclosed sunroom wrapped in windows creates a gorgeous light-filled space to sit and enjoy the garden outlook.
The accommodation is wonderfully flexible. Generously sized bedrooms include ceiling fans, while a large rumpus room and an L-shaped second living area with TV point provide options for additional living, hobbies, working from home or a third bedroom or sleep-out depending on your needs.
The beautifully renovated bathroom brings a touch of luxury to the country setting, with a freestanding bathtub, double vanity with granite benchtop and extensive under-bench storage, open shower, private toilet, quality fixtures and fittings, floor-to-ceiling wall tiles and exquisite mosaic floor tiling. A large laundry completes the home's practical spaces, while the double carport also provides a substantial undercover alfresco area.
Surrounding the cottage are picturesque established house-yard gardens dotted with citrus and fruit trees, beautiful peppercorn trees, together with a designated fire pit area ready for evenings under the stars.
Beyond the house yard, the property really begins to show its versatility. The mostly cleared country is fenced into four paddocks, each with its own dam for stock water, with stock-proof boundary fencing and approximately 30 acres of pine and ironbark forest. Ironbark from the property has also been incorporated into the cottage and internal fencing, adding another authentic connection between the home and the land.
For horses and livestock there are steel stockyards with race and loading ramp, a large undercover concrete stable, separate tack shed and substantial sectional feed shedding.
Then there's the shedding – and it is exceptional.
The standout shedding is a destination in itself. Measuring approximately 20m x 9.6m, the huge insulated shed features soaring 7m ceilings and a substantial 9m x 7m mezzanine, creating an extraordinary amount of space for machinery, a workshop, studio, creative pursuits or storage. It even incorporates a full kitchen with Omega appliances, pantry and laminate benchtops, together with an external shower, and the scissor lift is included in the sale. Subject to Council approval, the space may also offer scope for a granny flat conversion.
And there is still more, with a large iron workshop complete with workbenches, a large, powered machinery shed – and, because every proper country property deserves one, its very own outback dunny.
Water is well catered for at “Killarney”, with the valuable benefit of connection to town water, complemented by four dams – one to each paddock – and a substantial 115,000 litre corrugated iron rainwater tank capturing runoff from the large shed. Adding to the property's practical infrastructure, 28 solar panels positioned on the shed fed back to the residence, helping offset household energy costs.
The versatility of “Killarney” opens the door to an equally diverse range of buyers. It could be a country playground for a young family, an ideal base for horse and pony club enthusiasts, a manageable rural holding for a retiring farmer, an exceptional proposition for a tradie wanting serious shedding, or simply an escape for someone searching for space, character and a quieter way of life within easy reach of Dubbo.
Character, acreage, incredible infrastructure and village life – it is difficult to place “Killarney” neatly into one category – and perhaps that's exactly what makes it so special.
