“Poplars” Rural retreat with all resort facilities on the City’s edge

A long tree-lined driveway meanders up to the large single level homestead providing good set back ensuring privacy whilst perfectly positioning the home to take full advantage of the magnificent panoramic views over Canberra to the timeless Brindabella Mountains. Beautifully landscaped low maintenance gardens frame the residence showcasing a great balance of exotic & native plants while also being home for a rich array of native fauna & flora.

A sun drenched open plan includes spacious formal & informal living areas, 4 large bedrooms, ensuite, 2 bathrooms, rumpus and triple garage. Extensive use of timber and glass throughout creates a sense of harmony with the landscape and blurs the distinction between indoors and outdoors. Features solid timber kitchen, Corian bench tops, high ceilings, polished timber flooring, Jotul fireplace & ducted evaporative cooling.

Entertaining will never be the same again. Invite all your friends over for a BBQ under the large wisteria covered pergola, then take a dip in the sparkling in ground solar heated pool or maybe throw in a game of tennis. If that’s not enough a large grassed paddock is ideal for horse rides or maybe a relaxing stroll around through the many garden areas complete with lily filled pond will suffice.

An abundance of water includes 2 rain water tanks (120,000 litre & 20,000 litre approx), dam & bore.
Arguably “Poplars” is set on one of the best 5 acre (approx) rural blocks in the Canberra area. It provides a unique blend of single level living, flat usable block with good grass cover and majestic views. Great opportunity to acquire a rural hide away with all resort facilities and spoil the kids, young and old.
