THE PROPERTY STORY

Set among park-like one-acre grounds on the outskirts of Berry, this impeccably designed and constructed home was built 9 years ago as a private and secluded weekend retreat for an extended family with members based in Sydney and Canberra.

Surrounded by magnificent stands of mature trees, this private oasis is bordered by a babbling brook, while secret garden ‘rooms' provide areas for children to let their imagination fly.

The master-built home, accessed through a classic country gate and tunnel of evergreen alder trees, is designed for family get togethers while providing plenty of private nooks for family members to find a quiet corner for themselves when needed. The ground floor features calming, earthy colours and polished brushbox floors in an open plan living, dining and kitchen area opening to wide verandahs overlooking the garden. An open fireplace that can be closed down to become a slow combustion heater provides a focal point for cosy winter evenings. On this level, there is also a double master bedroom with en suite bathroom with underfloor heating and built-in robe opening to a fragrant flower garden. There is also a powder room off the entrance, laundry and under-stair storage. Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms with built-in robes and wonderful garden outlooks, a shared bathroom and separate WC.

A separate double garage has a studio space at the rear with a WC and an outdoor shower that would make an ideal home office, games room or storage area.

“We've loved our time here with family and friends,” say the owners. “It's so peaceful and quiet here yet so close to town. There's plenty of space for the grandchildren to run about while they can be watched easily from the house and wonderful country walks in the area. This area is easily reached for weekends away from both Sydney and Canberra and the rolling green hills of Berry, coast and rivers provide a beautiful, relaxed environment.”
