Privately tucked away in 8Ha of native woodland and set in one of the most amazing garden settings in the region is this timeless 4 bedroom + study contemporary solar passive home.

Constructed in the early 80s, this spacious family home reflects the true solar passive design principals of the era all North facing living, floor to ceiling glass to soak up Winter sun, and use of brick and slate to act as a thermal heat bank. The design and dcor has stood the test of time, however there is scope to modernise and update the home without over capitalising.

The design also captures magnificent garden views from all of the rooms, with the front living spaces overlooking 1 of 3 dams on the property. The home is designed with outdoor courtyard areas offering near year round protection from the weather, and the front of the home provides plenty of room to entertain, with a large outdoor pizza oven.

Step outside and wander through the garden and you are immediately captured by the spectacle of colour and aroma including plantings of camellias, wisteria, weeping cherries, Daphne, and David Austin roses. Established and low maintenance has been the design emphasis of the garden.

As an ex wholesale nursery, one of the main features of this property is the extensive horticultural infrastructure on offer. Whether you want to dabble or resurrect the business as a commercial operation, everything you need is here and intact. Theres a large double garage adjacent to the home, a large workshop/machinery shed, several smaller sheds, 3 large dome greenhouses, and a commercial glasshouse measuring approximately 250sqm. All the leveled nursery beds are there with concrete divding pathways, as well as all of the irrigation. The property is exceptionally well watered with 3 dams and a bore.

Another highlight of this property is that it backs directly on to Kowen Forest, which means that recreational hiking, horseriding or bike riding are literally at your doorstep

Poppet Road is classed as part of Old Wamboin, and constitutes the very early stage of residential-rural lifestyle development in the region. As such it enjoys a prime position on the doorstep of Canberra, being less than a 30 minute commute to the CBD. Additionally, its proximity to Queanbeyan for shopping and recreational facilities enhances its desirability, and frequent flyers will also appreciate its close proximity to Canberra airport, less than 19km away.

This is a unique property with the opportunity for those with the desire and entrepreneurial flair to generate a thriving horticultural business with the extensive infrastructure in place. For those who just want a peaceful bushland retreat, its the perfect property.
