It’s hard to know what is more breathtaking about this property: the gently sloping hills and endless views or the home itself, with its dramatic angles and vast windows that make the most of the incredible bush setting.
LJ Hooker Kippax franchise owner and sales manager Eoin Ryan-Hicks says this remarkable sanctuary, located just south of Tharwa on one of the only blocks on the road that has views straight down to the Murrumbidgee River, redefines the concept of lifestyle property.
Eoin says 1302 Smiths Road was built to have character and be something special.
“The pitched roof gives an incredible first impression as you come up the road,” he explains.
“Inside the home, the high ceilings and beautiful glass windows make the best of the gorgeous views.
“Even one hundred years down the track, it will still be a special house.”
The home, located in the small suburb of The Angle, boasts four bedrooms, as well as a recently renovated kitchen and three bathrooms.
“The rooms were re-modelled with modern features and fittings, but the owners kept the original floor plan,” Eoin says.
Cedar timber accents and panelling throughout the home further bring the outside inside.
“It gives it a really warming feel,” Eoin says.
A wooden wrap-around deck overlooks the green surroundings, giving you a perfect perch to survey your domain.
“The current owners spend most of their time out there in the afternoons and evenings.
“They have dinner out there during the warmer months and cuddle inside in front of the fireplace during winter.”
Eoin says with 38 acres at your disposal, there is plenty of room to roam.
“It has everything you would expect for a high-end property – you really only have to leave to get food,” he says.
The property also features a tennis court, under-house storage, a chicken coop, a dam and fruit trees.
“The kids can kick a footy or camp out by the dam. There is also a large swimming pool and a whole other outdoor entertaining area.
“The current owners’ grandkids love that area in the summer months.”
The small suburb of The Angle is just a 20-minute drive to Lanyon Marketplace in south Canberra.
“You are only 45 minutes from the CBD, so you can still commute into the city really easily, but once you arrive home, you feel like you’re in the middle of the countryside,” Eoin says.
“It is so peaceful and tranquil here.”
