Nature lovers who enjoy a hearty gathering of friends and family will find a lot to love in this Tomboye property.

Complete with your own ‘tavern’, this 25-acre slice of paradise at 244 Tomboye Road has seven bedrooms (yes, seven) and room to roam.

“This is a great lifestyle block,” says agent Colin McIntyre from McIntyre Property.

“No matter what you are in to, you could put your own touch here and make this property your own.”

There’s privacy and seclusion here; even though you can see your neighbours through the trees, you can’t hear them.

“There’s room for animals, too, with the 25 acres mostly cleared. This allows for all sorts of activities, such as horse riding, but I think it will really appeal to someone who just enjoys living amidst bushland.

“Lots of kangaroos come to visit, and there’s also a resident wombat.”

The location is also proving popular with potential buyers.

“It’s considered an easy drive to Nowra. It’s also close to the coast and to Braidwood Village, which offers plenty of schooling options, shops and, of course, doctors.

“And it’s near enough to Canberra as well.”

For some, the standout feature of the estate will be the ‘tavern’. Located only 50 metres from the house, it has bush charm and character. Perfect for hosting events under the old gum trees, this tavern has water, electricity, and plumbing for beer on tap and another fireplace. Oh, and it has its own fully plumbed ensuite so there’s no traipsing back to the house when nature calls.

“There have been many a family gathering here,” said Colin. “The owners were big entertainers and there was a lot of time spent in the tavern with their friends and family.

“And with plenty of accommodation available, there was no need to drive home after a good night.”

In all, there are four separate buildings. The main house has three bedrooms and a separate but close cottage has four additional bedrooms.

There’s a two-acre garage and a workshop shed as well.

Established gardens include some veggie garden boxes and a feature fountain surrounded by hedges that make for a nice entry statement.

In the main home, you’ll find a spacious open-plan living and dining area complete with cathedral ceilings. There’s a large kitchen with solid timber live-edge bench tops and stainless-steel appliances.

“There’s also an enclosed outdoor deck or sunroom which has lovely views all around,” said Colin.

“It’s another great aspect of the home and a lovely place just to sit and enjoy looking out over the surrounding environment.”

You’ll be comfortable no matter the season – there are two free-standing wood-burning heaters and air conditioning in the living areas.

If you are moving in with a large brood, Colin says you’ll appreciate the rumpus room at the other end of the house to the main living area. A large study could also be converted into a fourth bedroom inside the main home.

“There’s plenty of water on the block with a large dam and rainwater tanks. It also has solar and back-to-grid power to provide efficient energy solutions for sustainable living.”

If you like the great Australian outdoors, you’ll appreciate this property’s proximity to the Morton, Jervis Bay, Booderee and Budawang National Parks. With flora and fauna at every turn, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring the local countryside.

244 Tomboye Road, Tomboye, is open for inspection on Saturday, 16 September, at 11 am. Contact Colin Mcintyre on 0417 263 678 or Mitchell Smithers on 0427 637 257 for more information. Don’t forget to check out all the latest listings on Zango.
