Fish Creek’s Hidden Gardener’s Oasis
Coming home is a pleasure for the senses at 160 Soldiers Road, Fish Creek.
Travelling up the meandering gravel drive, you are welcomed by twisting branches, from the established native flora and fauna surrounding you on this approximate 5.2 acre property.
It truly envelopes you, as you drop your stresses at the roadside, and escape to this secret garden.
The homestead offers dual living with South facing deck to the entry with plenty of room for sitting back and taking in the welcome sights and sounds surrounding you.
Upon entering the home you feel the warmth from this property with the timber floorboards, neutral decor and large open plan layout with a centrally situated wood burner with brick hearth that anchors this space.
The current owners have set up their lounge to the front of the property, music area as well, then the dining to the rear. However this space is very versatile and could accommodate many different layout options. This central living space offers beautiful garden views from all angles and is a delight for relaxed living.
The kitchen/dining is a great space with plenty of room for the extended family and entertaining, including country style cooker with feature range, dishwasher and bay window offering plenty of natural light for this workspace.
To the Western side of the home there is a second living space which is currently used as a large sewing room and includes sliding doors to the front deck, a wood burner and a ceiling fan. Stepping through past the coffee station, you are in the home office and the entry to the dual living zone of the property.
This dual living opportunity houses its own updated bathroom with open shower, and timber floorboards with a step down to the kitchenette, living/meals and bedroom space. All this is ready to go with its own entry to the North of the home.
Back inside to the Eastern end of the property, the master bedroom with ensuite and built in robe is separately situated off the open plan living space. Down the hallway you will find a further two great sized bedrooms with built in robes and plenty of room for a dressing table or study nook to each.
The main bathroom offers open shower, bath and vanity in modern whites with a separate toilet and storage cupboard. Across from here is the workstation of the laundry which has ample room for an extra fridge or freezer, once more with storage cupboards, sink and under bench storage too.
All of this is fantastic, however this property really does come into its own when you step outside and find yourself in your own secret garden. Sit down on the rear verandah or the brick paved patio space and enjoy the birdlife and flowering plants around you with your family or friends. With meandering magical paths through to the different garden zones, you will be enraptured with the extensive plantlife on offer here. Including a mix of natives, cottage perennials, orientals, succulents, fruit and more! There is a greenhouse built in, plus a chook pen and vegetable garden. All this is serviced with ample water storage. A treed paddock to the rear, a bit of bush to the top and a paddock to the front of the property let you lean in to the opportunity for a hobby farm. Or you can do as the current owners have, and just enjoy the spaces as they are!
The property does have has a single lock up garage and two further open bays with plenty of room for storing your tools.
Situated just 10 minutes out of the townships of Foster and Fish Creek, and the beautiful beaches of Sandy Point, Waratah Bay, 15 minutes to the beach and flora and fauna at Walkerville and approx. 25 minutes drive to the iconic gateway of Wilsons Promontory, yet feeling like you've escaped to your own private hideaway.
