Just a few minutes from Murrumbateman village in one of the area’s most refined estates, 33 Lakeview Drive is a sight to behold. This stylish homestead sprawls across 5 acres of landscaped gardens and features loads of thoughtful extras that foster comfort, warmth and a relaxed rural ambience.
Packing a punch in both looks and amenity, the home has been enjoyed by a large family for a number of years, having hosted many a summer BBQ and winter movie night.
Sales agent John Lennie says this property is the perfect example of “classic country done right”, and there’s plenty of heart no matter where you look.
“There’s a seamless sense of flow throughout this beautiful single-level home that begins the moment you step over the threshold,” he says.
“You’re first greeted by a huge French-provincial style living area with vaulted ceilings, unique trusses and skylights that bring the outside in.
“It’s a warm, inviting space made even more so when the fireplace is lit – the true heart of the home, where many memories have been made.”
Flanking the open plan lounge is a cosy dining space and provincial-style kitchen. The kitchen features solid timber bench tops and pendant lighting and is equipped with quality Miele appliances. The walk-in pantry offers ample storage.
Ever the entertainers, the current owners are including their home theatre setup and cinema equipment in the property sale, perfect for late-night gatherings fuelled by popcorn and laughter.
Each of the five bedrooms is bright and airy, especially the oversized master suite, which features a well-equipped ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and beautiful French doors that lead out onto the wrap-around verandah.
“Alfresco diners are spoiled for choice here,” John says.
“Whether you’re cooking up a storm in the outdoor kitchen to eat under the covered patio or setting up a relaxed picnic on the lawns, you’ll be surrounded by twinkling lights and lush greenery.”
After their hard-earned meal, visitors and family can relax in the eight-person spa, take a dip in the heated saltwater pool or stroll through the established gardens to see how many fruit trees they can identify.
It’s certainly an entertainer’s dream, but number 33 is also practical in its design.
The property is equipped with more than 150 square metres of garage space across two secure Colourbond sheds, one of which also hosts a studio space with its own kitchen and bathroom amenities.
An 11.1 kW, battery-connected solar system works alongside a brand new Solarhart hot water system and a Tesla all-type EV charger to take full advantage of the property’s sunny disposition for sustainable power.
This slice of life is set to the gorgeous backdrop of the mighty Brindabella Ranges, offering a semi-rural lifestyle while remaining connected to a friendly community and a short drive from local townships. John says it’s the best of both worlds.
“You’re only half an hour from North Canberra, 15 minutes from Yass and not even five minutes from Murrumbateman village,” he says.
“Nearby schools and public spaces are all highly rated and, of course, you’re in the middle of local cool-climate wine country, so there are plenty of award-winning vineyards and restaurants to explore.
“To anyone looking for a fully equipped family home in a refined yet authentic rural setting – number 33 is not to be missed.”
