When you’re fifteen minutes from town but you feel like you’re far removed you know you’ve achieved the dream, made the impossible possible and surrounded yourself with natural beauty that offers privacy, privilege and pleasure. Barbers Bottom’ brings all these elements together brilliantly! Some 70 acres of pristine bushland, originally a farming property, creates an idyllic context for this superb mud brick home, built c1997, where the craftsmanship and the quality are abundantly clear. A living/dining area defined by cathedral ceilings and cedar French doors is kept constantly comfortable by a Saxon wood heater and an open-fire place featuring an 1830s Huon, King Billy and Celery Top pine mantelpiece rescued and restored from a Deddington homestead. The separate terracotta tiled kitchen/meals space, in so many ways heart of the home, includes a Falcon Elan’ stove, great bay window views and fitted myrtle and pine cabinetry. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged over upstairs and downstairs levels deliver complete comfort while a separate downstairs laundry and substantial store-room contribute user-friendly convenience. The appeal of the views, the presence of bird life and native wild life and the warmth of the sun all day long further enhance environs that let you get away from it all – yet still have it all. Dual 20,000L water tanks, a four bay machinery shed with secure work-shop and adjoining carport, wood shed, storage shed, steel bunker and classic sleep-out/studio add to the attraction of a property enjoying its own unique, unspoiled world, yet still served by school bus routes, rubbish collection and mail delivery! Love it!
