Set across 10 glorious acres of picturesque countryside, 211 Post Office Road presents an outstanding opportunity to embrace peaceful country living with space for the family, animals and hobbies. Combining a comfortable family home, separate self-contained accommodation and impressive shedding, this versatile property offers a lifestyle of privacy, practicality and spectacular rural views.
The main residence features four bedrooms, all with built-in robes, and two bathrooms. The kitchen showcases classic timber cabinetry, an electric oven and cooktop, and a dishwasher, overlooking the adjoining dining area. Multiple living spaces provide plenty of room for the family, including a secondary living area with a woodfire and a sunken lounge featuring a large, fully functional open fireplace, perfect for cosy winter evenings.
A sunroom captures natural warmth through its glass windows and provides easy access to the outdoor entertaining area. The main bathroom includes a spa bath, shower, vanity and atrium, while the ensuite has been tastefully renovated with a vanity, shower with footrest and toilet.
Year-round comfort is assured with a split-system air conditioner, wood heating and a heat transfer system designed to distribute warmth throughout the home. The extensive wraparound veranda offers additional living space, spectacular sunset views and protection from the summer heat and winter elements. Adjoining decking provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, with shade cloth available.
Adding exceptional versatility is the separate self-contained accommodation, complete with a kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom, its own wood heater and a soundproofed room currently used as a band room. Ideal for extended family, guests or creative pursuits, this is a valuable addition to the property.
Shedding is another major highlight, with a substantial barn-style shed featuring a mezzanine floor, plus multiple additional sheds for vehicles, machinery, storage and workshop activities. A carport sits conveniently beside the home, while a second carport on the rear boundary features a concrete base, ideal for trailers and mowers.
The fully usable acreage features cleared land, excellent pasture, established fencing, a dedicated chicken area and animal holding pens. The property has comfortably accommodated two horses for most of the year, with abundant feed available. A picturesque, highly reliable dam provides an additional water source and has reportedly never dried up, even during the driest years.
Water security is well catered for with more than 50,000 litres of tank water, with tanks recently cleaned. Mains water runs past the front of the property, with plumbing already in place for connection, subject to requirements. Both septic systems have recently been cleaned. An electric remote-controlled gate secures the enclosed house yard, while easy-care gardens make maintenance more manageable.
Connectivity includes available NBN, with the vendors' Starlink setup to remain.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is conveniently located near Delacombe Town Centre and medical facilities, with the local primary school, tennis courts and community centre at the end of the road. Excellent horse riding, hiking and motorcycle opportunities are also easily accessible.
With abundant birdlife, beautiful views from the windows and spectacular sunsets from the veranda, 211 Post Office Road delivers an exceptional country lifestyle with room to make it your own.
