Nestled amongst the soft rolling hills of the South West Slopes you will find The Bungalow'. Named after the gracious, single story, large verandah homes built for Europeans in the hill areas of India from the 1670's.
This truly inspiring property is one of the best appointed residences in the Hilltops district, boasting style, charm and elegance.
The Bungalow' is approximately 2.5 kilometres from Young township heading East towards Sydney and Canberra. Sydney is less than a four hour drive, accessed via the M5 motorway. Canberra is a comfortable two hour drive.

The Property:-
This surprising parcel of land of approximately 13 acres is an absolute pleasure to inspect and the owners have enjoyed over thirty years of living and entertaining their local, city and international friends. It is extremely well set up and lends itself to a range of country pursuits.

Homestead and Garden:-
The Bungalow homestead is truly special; a family house normally found on a large pastoral holding. This gracious 1907 homestead has been well maintained and is heated with a mix of slow combustion, open fireplaces and integrated electric heaters. Evaporative cooling is ducted throughout the home and many rooms enjoy overhead fans. The master bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom with spa bath, and three other large king sized bedrooms access the verandah by French doors. The house is of Federation design and delights in many large fireplaces, high ceilings, moulded architraves and a gorgeous 50 x 8 foot central hallway. The country style eat-in kitchen is worthy of a television studio cooking show and also boasts a large dining area, as well as a walk-in pantry and freestanding island bench. There is a separate office off the large sunroom.
A double carport is on the south eastern end of the homestead and leads onto a central courtyard.
12 foot verandahs grace the eastern and northern sides of the home overlooking masses of mature garden and lawn.
The easy care garden of expansive plantings, lawns and bordered driveway is designed to be uncluttered and focuses on the surrounding long views and trees. It has been maintained for many years by a well-known local and experienced gardener.
One paddock fronting Western Avenue is heavily planted with fully matured specimen trees dating from the 1920's, as found in an Arboretum.

The Studio:-
A former art studio set up by the current owners and has now been converted into a comfortable 2 bedroom guest cottage. Currently leased, it could either be an investment or somewhere for the extended family.

Improvements:-
The features surrounding the home are outstanding. A large workshop/machinery shed with concrete floor, power and 2 sets of large double opening doors to accommodate boats, caravan, trucks and tractors etc. there is town water as well as tank water servicing the property so water is well and truly abundant. For the family, an in ground fibreglass pool will provide hours of entertainment and enjoyment for all.
Six stables made from concrete blocks, steel plus a decent set of yards will have the horse enthusiast smiling from ear to ear.
A working olive grove of 50 trees and a vegetable patch are all features important to those wanting life's simple pleasures.
Split into several paddocks, livestock and pets will be well catered for.

Sub-Division Potential:-
Recently zoned R1 general residential, this property has added value with subdivision potential. A current approved development application is in place to divide the property into five parcels. Alternatively, this property could become a residential sub-division. This property is unique! Complimented by one of the finest homesteads in the district, plus a first-class list of extras, The Bungalow' offers a fantastic lifestyle opportunity in the heart of the Hilltops region in the South-West Slopes.

The vendors have reluctantly decided to move on from this dignified and gracious home and are hoping a loving family will, in turn make this their dream country home. Alternatively this property may serve well as a B&B or retreat. The options are plenty and this property is worthy of inspection.
