47 Eridge Park Road, Burradoo

Utterly beautiful, serene, and otherworldly, this near 10-acre property has been lovingly created in sync with mother nature over the past 50 years. The home itself has evolved over that period beginning as a weekend escape designed by eminent architect Susan Rothwell in 1971 -who has designed each subsequent stage (1981 and 2001) to culminate in a home which is at one with its landscape offering a style of exquisite living -special without pretension. Offered to the market for the first time this is a significant opportunity to become the next custodian of Mallamey.

Constructed of quality Western Red cedar it sits surrounded by gardens of significant beauty and scale and offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and generous living rooms. The heart and hub of the house is -appropriately- the generous kitchen and dining room which allow for free -flowing communion and provision. Visually and physically connected to the terrace it offers a depth of vision which is transporting in its beauty. With direct access and riparian rights to the Wingecarribee River on its rear boundary, a chook house designed along Palladian lines with netted enclosures, room for a tennis court and flowers to pick, the lifestyle on offer here is one from another time and place. Meadows to roam, eggs to collect, picnics to enjoy, a river to run and flowers to pick -the sweet, sweet life!

This is well equipped and is the hub of the house opening as it does to terraces to the North and a deep verandah to the East.

WINE CELLAR
The 1000 bottle underground cellar is located away from the house for good reason in an additional shed. There is no artificial cooling required and its average temperature over the year is approx. 14 degrees with average humidity of 60%

GARDEN
Ample water is a blessing in this increasingly unreliable weather. The house is serviced by town water but has its own septic system.

There is also a 10,000 litre rainwater tank plumbed to the pantry but not pressurised. Water for garden use can be pumped from various points on the property

Green stripe poly pipe both underground and above ground (moveable) runs from a single pump point. This is used to water the (ex) tennis court grass and gardens (pop up sprinklers), and all grassed areas to the north and east of the house. A three-inch transfer pump can be used to transfer water from this point to the main dam. There are other pumps and hoses that can be moved around as the need arises particularly when bonfires are allowed. All pumps etc included in the sale.

There is a chook house along Palladian lines with netted enclosures either side. Totally fox proof.

There is extensive joinery throughout the house with built in cupboards in the bedrooms and a small dressing room on the first level.
