MAKE A LIFESTYLE CHOICE CARMYLE Farm was selected by the settlers in the 1800s as a prime allotment in the Steavenson River Valley and has had only three owners in that time. It was first sold in 1918 and then sold again to the current owners in February 2003. This ’60s brick veneer home was built close to where the original homestead stood and has been totally renovated and extended to suit the modern family. There is hardly a window that does not have a view of the gardens or ranges. The modern kitchen with stainless steel Fisher and Paykel double dish drawers and gas/electric 900cm oven with stainless steel canopy has been designed for the modern day cook while still having the warmth of a polished timber breakfast bar, beautiful
granite benchtops and good-sized pantry. There is enough room to cook up a country storm for friends and family. The large lounge/dining area is separated by a handmade wrought iron and timber staircase that leads to the mezzanine library area with built-in double day bed and views across the paddocks to the Cathedral Ranges. The office/study is tucked away to the side for privacy. There is also the fully enclosed outdoor entertaining area, which opens off the lounge through double French doors, where you can entertain all year round. The master suit is huge and comprises full ensuite with central free standing bath, shower and beautiful vanity. Large walk-in
robe and bedroom/parents’ retreat area you have to see to believe. The two other double bedrooms have built-in robes and share the main bathroom which again has bath, shower and beautiful vanity. Outside, the wide verandahs on two sides of the home allow you to sit and take in the views to the Cathedral Ranges and the gardens with ornamental trees, some over 100 years old and planted by the original settlers. There is also a large, well-ordered, vegie/ kitchen garden with a raspberry patch and pumpkin patch and just beyond this is the small orchard area with many fruit trees. For the farmer in you, there are 25 rich, biologically farmed, acres split into 12

paddocks, with a reticulated water supply. Two large sheds, about 22,000 gallon water storage tanks, cattleyards, an easement for water to the Little Steavenson River and a freshwater well with pump, so you can be sure you have plenty of water. If you need more land, there is the adjoining 75 acres, on a separate title, with river frontage to both the Little Steavenson and Steavenson Rivers. There is a building envelope in the perfect spot to take in all the views. This is currently on the market separately, but can be sold as a package.
