Incredible Elegance, Presented to the Highest Standard
If asked to describe the quintessential Australian aspirational property it would be hard to imagine anything other than what 61 Cruikshank Drive has to offer. Settled neatly on the fringe of acres of iconic bushland, the aroma of eucalyptus and native birdsong will transport you to a state of relaxation. Benefiting from the undisturbed privacy is a massive home, gorgeous outdoor living and extensive shedding.Measuring 24 acres, the land is a pleasing blend of cleared and treed areas where you can enjoy a bushwalk, collect kindling for the winter season or lightly graze stock or ponies. The property has two catchment dams, and an excellent irrigation system conveying water to the gardens and bountiful orchard. Throughout the year you will be delighted with the vast array of produce to be harvested from the quince, mulberry, apple, pear, baby fig and almond trees. The wicking beds are currently planted with strawberries, parsnips, silverbeet, broad beans and sugarsnap peas.
Whether you have a large family or simply value having space to move comfortably, you will certainly be impressed by the sheer magnitude of this brick veneer home. The master suite is favoured with a walk in robe and stunning ensuite, with four further bedrooms each having a BIR or WIR. In addition, there is an office with very convenient access to the carport, making it ideal for clients who may be visiting your home based office.
Complementing the five bedrooms are four large living areas. The heart of the home is the magnificent kitchen with granite benchtops, top of the range appliances and its adjoining family room. There is also a spacious formal lounge, surrounded by verandah on three sides, and a most impressive sunroom which is beautifully warm in winter as it captures the northern sun, and it has a granite servery from the kitchen and sliding doors to the patio.
The fourth living space is at the other end of the home. Originally a double garage but renovated to interior condition, the rumpus opens up to the 6x6m gabled alfresco area and solar heated pool and spa, resulting in the perfect indoor/outdoor entertainment zone. There is plenty of space for your pool table or gym equipment, or you could install a projector and comfy couches to create an amazing theatre room. This is a truly unique and versatile space, and an investment into creating family memories.
Sited to be solar passive, the wide verandahs and external awnings ensure the ease of year round comfort, assisted by the wood heating with return vent ducted to the hallway to warm the bedrooms, and ceiling fans and ducted cooling throughout. The home has 90,000 litres of water storage attached, with a further 22,500 litre tank connected to the shed. Internet is provided via fixed wireless NBN, and throughout the home storage has been carefully considered and installed – there is ample space for all of your belongings to have a home.
If the home has wowed one of you, then this shed will definitely impress the other. Of colorbond construction, the shed has power, 7 bays, five with concrete floor, four with roller doors, and a lean-to. The end bay is currently used as a caravan port and provides drive through access to avoid the need to reverse. The driveway has been carefully constructed with an all-weather gravel approach to the house and shed, capable of carrying all manner of large vehicles.
The young and young at heart will spend hours in the amazing tree fort, which is complete with new soft fall, slide, trapeze and swing. There is plenty of space for riding bikes and scooters in the double carport and paved areas around the house, and when they're old enough, your children will love exploring the bush or spending the night camping under the starry sky by one of the dams.
Located in Bagshot, but no further from the Huntly shopping hub than the 500sqm blocks in the nearby residential estates, this property truly has it all. The size, the space, the scale, the spectacle. The location, the infrastructure, the enviability. Nothing has been overlooked. A very low maintenance hobby farm set up, or a stunning country get-away. All there is to do is move in and start enjoying the property yourself.
