Every now and then we come across something special in the real estate market and 41 Gatenbys Road Gravelly Beach hits the mark. In short it is a two dwelling property set on approximately seven acres of immaculate gardens and prime pasture.

You enter the property through a solar powered remote controlled gate and wind your way up the driveway to be greeted by meticulously laid out gardens containing a mixture of native and decorative plants to the left and a productive garden highlighted by a variety of fruit trees, berries and vegetables, discreetly placed, to the right. The gardens featured in the Open Garden Scheme in October this year.

At the head of the driveway you are greeted by dual dwellings, joined by a covered breezeway that all blend into the surrounding gardens. The main residence extensively updated in the last few years contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms, tastefully designed kitchen and large living spaces. A highlight is the full length windows which fully embrace the superb gardens and bird life. The second residence, built in 2006 contains two bedrooms, all modern amenities including a country style kitchen with a Stanley combustion stove and offers complete privacy. Both homes have extensive decks to while the day away if that takes your fancy. A double garage with remote controlled doors rounds out this part of the package.

To the rear of the residences we have 5 wallaby proofed fenced paddocks with multiple gates for easy access. To complement this rural aspect there is multiple shedding, both open and concrete slab fully lockable. An extensive irrigation system fed by 2 x 10,000 (45,000 litre) gallon tanks ensures the town water supply isn’t overloaded. Three separate chook runs and the list goes on. This property has been built from the ground up over the past eight years so nothing is old or needs replacing.

We often read of real estate opportunities where superlatives outweigh the property. Visit Manglewood and you be the judge.
