Just a short drive from Tarago in the Southern Tablelands, tucked away on a peaceful parcel of land sits a delightful property named ‘Shalimar’ and it certainly has plenty to offer.
Driving through the gate you leave the hustle and bustle behind you as you meander along the leafy tree lined drive and enter the front of the house yard where you will see ample shedding, garage, a large stable and lovely family home.
As you step into the home from the front porch you are greeted by a comfortably carpeted interior with it’s high ceilinged hall and 3 good sized bedrooms. Along the hall to the right is the floor to ceiling tiled bathroom which has a modern shower and vanity and an original ball and claw footed bath. Further along on the left is the laundry which has been updated keeping the original timber walls and ceiling which have been meticulously finished.
From the hall you find the fourth bedroom on the right and the light filled open area of the family, dining and kitchen. The kitchen is a good size and was updated a few years ago with a gas the cook top, range hood and electric oven.
Beyond this is a large in-door out-door room approx. 3.5m x 10.25m that extends along the back of the home. The room has large floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors taking full advantage of the views of the gardens and beyond.
Outside there is an alfresco entertaining area that is powered, has an old wood burning fuel stove, an open fireplace, sink and running cold water that can be sourced from the Bore-tap or the rainwater tank. The established leafy green lawns and garden oasis that surround the home exudes both charm and character and in the garden there is a greenhouse as well as an outside flushing toilet.
A fenced chicken yard with veggie patch and a fruit orchard consisting of apples, pears, quince, stone fruit, fig and citrus is yet another amazing feature of this property.
Overall there is a welcoming feeling of serenity and peace in this home and surrounding acres. With the large back windows facing to the east it provides a perfect location for relaxing and enjoying the views. Out to the east on a clear day can be seen the Budawang Ranges of the escarpment to the coast.
