There’s country living, and then there’s country living with a starlit spa, a designer kitchen and room for everyone – even the in-laws.
At 2 Limousin Close in Murrumbateman, the rural dream gets a serious upgrade.
Set on just over 1.1 hectares, the architect-designed house wraps timeless design around a thoroughly modern lifestyle with manicured gardens, a fully self-contained studio and sunset views over rolling farmland.
From the moment you arrive via the tree-lined driveway, the home feels equal parts retreat and residence.
Agent Sam McGregor of Windrose Property describes it as a timeless retreat where expansive family living meets the tranquillity of wine country.
“This home offers the perfect balance of rural charm, space, privacy and contemporary luxury,” he says.
Peaked ceilings, dynamic angles, and floor-to-ceiling glazing invite natural light and the surrounding landscape in, while brick veneer construction grounds the home in quiet durability.
The central kitchen-living space is both expansive and intimate, featuring Smeg appliances, a walk-in pantry and a generous open-plan flow.
From there, step outside to the decked al fresco space designed for all seasons. It features an undercover spa, a dining area and garden-framed views.
Inside, the four-bedroom layout has been crafted for flexibility. The oversized main-bedroom suite has an en suite, a walk-in wardrobe and its own study, while the formal dining room could also be a rumpus room, a theatre or a large work-from-home office.
Then there’s the separate self-contained studio with a full bathroom, a kitchenette, a double garage plus carport, and a private yard.
The cottage-style gardens have matured with layers of hedging and ornamental and fruiting trees. Leighton Green conifers add privacy.
Murrumbateman is where cellar doors, countryside and a close-knit community come together just 30 minutes from Canberra. Locals enjoy weekend markets, award-winning wineries on their doorstep, and the ease of a well-serviced village centre with cafes, pub, grocer, childcare and health services.
