1191 Norton Road
Open: Contact agent
Agent: Ray White Bungendore, Ellie Merriman 0402 117 877
Life on an idyllic property out of town, soaking up bushland views, is what 1191 Norton Road, Wamboin is all about. The generous 15-hectare holding allows you to slow down, stretch your legs, raise some chooks or grow your own vegetables.
“This breathtaking sanctuary backs onto an extensive greenway network which provides hours of walking, mountain-biking or horse-riding pleasure,” says agent Ellie Merriman of Ray White Bungendore.
A dressage arena and two dams would cater to horse enthusiasts, while a three-bay shed would house a caravan or boat.
But as beautiful as it is to be amongst nature, it can be equally appreciated from within the five-bedroom solar-passive home. The sprawling residence, virtually wrapped in glass, offers multiple living areas, vaulted ceilings and slow combustion fireplaces. A large deck, with overhanging deciduous ornamental grapes, provides space for outdoor entertaining – as does the in-ground pool and dining area.
