Character Homestead on 100 Acres!

Circa 1920, this grand old home is ideally located around 29km from York's main street in the locality of Kauring, tucked away from the Quairading-York Rd in a quiet spot. Being an old homestead, it is quite a large residence for its day, yet still is by today's standards. Some of the character features on the weatherboard & fibro home are high ceilings, polished wooden floors, a long formal entry hall, fireplaces and a big verandah which has just had some new quality timber decking installed. All 3 bedrooms are very spacious, with each having split system aircons. The master boasts its own dressing room comprising of a walk in robe, basin and a toilet. With plumbing already there, it wouldn't be difficult to add a shower to create an ensuite. Another bedroom has an extra adjoining room too, ideal as a study or kids play room. Recently updated, the new stylish kitchen fits right in, complimented by a 900mm gas oven/stove sitting in the brick fireplace, where no doubt an old wood stove used to be. Split system airconditioning services the open kitchen/dining area, plus the massive seperate lounge room has its own split system aircon and a slow combustion wood heater, neatly installed in the old fireplace. Also recently refreshed, the bathroom has been completely renovated with new tiles, toilet and vanity. The laundry is pretty spacious with plenty of bench space, plus it even has a handy third toilet inside the home. Although the front verandah has a great outlook where you could easily spend a lot of time, a spa in a small shed out the back is another great spot to unwind too.

You'll find sheds galore here, with 3 x big sheds providing plenty of storage and space to tinker around in. The open front machinery shed is around 24x9 metres, while the workshop is around 12x11 metres, complete with a mechanic pit and power. Being around 15x14 metres in size, the shearing shed is still in use, but due to its size could also be used as a studio, extra accommodation or just for entertaining. It includes power, a large lined room with a pot belly stove, a very unique bathroom built inside an old rainwater tank, a huge verandah area, and an upstairs mezzanine floor for storage.

Consisting of a few paddocks, the owners run some sheep on around half the land each year, while a nearby farmer leases the other half for cropping, rotating each year. Water is well set up here with plenty of water tanks and a solar pump equipped bore providing water for the laundry, bathroom, toilets, gardens & livestock, while rainwater is plumbed to the kitchen for drinking. There's also a good sized dam which is great for stock. Parkland cleared, the block has a nice mix of natural old York Gums, some well established planted trees and even a winter creek.
