Willow Crossing’, a much loved family hobby farm for over 35 years, offers new owners the chance to create their own rural paradise within 10 minutes of Gungahlin and 25 minutes to the city centre. Properties in the exclusive Wallaroo precinct are tightly held and highly sought after due their proximity to the city, stunning views of the Brindabellas and lifestyle opportunities.

The north facing farmhouse oozes charm with high cathedral ceilings and expansive full length windows offering rural and garden views from all rooms. The flexible layout offers four bedrooms, dressing room, study, a loft and dining / living areas or create the ultimate kids retreat with bedroom, loft and playroom contained in it’s own area. The master suite has two sets of custom designed wardrobes, a walk-in dressing room and ensuite. It also could easily be converted to be separate self contained living quarters if required (existing plumbing in wall for kitchenette).

The mature garden blends an English garden with Australian natives creating a haven for birds and relaxation all year around. A feature deck and wisteria draped pergola offer an idyllic dining and entertaining area.

With self sufficiency in mind, this 40 acre (16 ha) hobby farm was originally a working Angora goat stud, has over 300 almond trees, a mature fruit orchard, well composted vegetable gardens, a chook house/enclosed run, a duck/goose enclosure and a dog run.

The oversized 6m x 18m shed offers plenty of space with areas divided for a workshop, storage, cars and animal shelter. Two smaller paddocks, a holding yard, a stable and animal shelters are behind the shed and perfect for keeping the ponies close by. Three larger paddocks, separated by windbreaks have 2 dams and Oakey Creek between them.

Nestled at the end of a tree lined driveway, there is no shortage of firewood for the slow combustion heater that adds warmth and heat to the house in winter. Two large water tanks capture ample water from both the house and the large shed.

If you are dreaming of a country life whilst working in the city, do not miss the opportunity to view this property.
