HOMESTEAD SAN LEON.

Located just an 8 minute walk from the village, San Leon The Homestead sits on a generous 0.89ha surrounded by a beautifully planned country garden. Leaving Kialla Rd and entering the 100 metre tree lined, all sealed road to the homestead, you know you are coming into something very special. The garden itself is very low maintenance, and its water is serviced by an outstanding bore delivering 1900 gals/hr to a 125,000 pioneer colour bond reserve, with another 125,000 rain water holding. The 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was planned for family and friends to visit, with multiple living areas. Flooring is red iron bark and NZ wool carpet, with plantation shutters covering windows, and blinds covering external doors.. The N/E facing home has multiple exterior doors with security screening to each, thus allowing a natural breeze to flow through the summer months. All the tree plantings are deciduous around the house, thus allowing sunlight and warmth in winter. The owners have put emphasis on the living areas, and the homestead has 4. It has a separate dining, an American mantled wood fired winter room, and 2 summer areas, all looking onto its beautiful country garden from any direction. The kitchen works well to entertain, with a wonderful outside patio for visitors and family. Security within has a passive movement system, as well as live cameras inside and out. The home also has a R/C heating and cooling ducted throughout. The home is extensively insulated throughout. A 2 car garage fitted with an electric roller door, also a 30 hp internal vacuum system to service the home.

A BIT FROM THE GARDENER.
It’s an old fashioned rambling country style garden, a style similar to that found in rural properties perched on the banks of the Murrumbidgee in the Riverina where I was born and grew up. The real only difference is in some of the plantings, which are of the cold climate varieties.
The garden is full of many and varied deciduous trees, inclusive of Oaks, maples, pears, Ash and Birches. Filling in the gaps one will discover flowering Cherries, Magnolias, Camellias, Crab Apples, Daphne, Prunus, as well as Japanese maples, and dog woods. Then come the roses, with climbers cascading from the colourful Mexican themed pergolas, red standards fronting the front of the house, and every which way you look there are roses, consisting of David Austin’s, Old English, Hybrid Teas, and Delbards, all magnificent when in bloom.
