Set on 10 acres of sweeping green pasture, overlooking the rolling hills of the Yass Valley, boasting stunning and established gardens, a full-sized orchard and segmented into multiple usable paddocks for livestock or your horses, lifestyle properties in the Yass Valley don't get much better.

Welcome home, to 249 Dog Trap Road, Marchmont.

As you arrive, you're welcomed down a sweeping tree-lined driveway, which leads to a serene homestead - set high, and privately, to the rear of the park-like, private, 10 acre plot. Facing the home, the quality of the build is evident. A sandstone-style brick facade, coupled with a modern colour bond roof and wrap-around verandah, give a modern twist on 'traditional country', while the colour palette exudes class and character.

Inside, the heart of this home is the open-plan kitchen. Fitted with premium appliances - a Bosch Dishwasher, induction cook top and dual electric overs - along with a butler's pantry, space and usability abound. Adjacent to the kitchen is an oversized, open-plan living area, segmented into a formal dining space, comfortable lounge, and spacious entry. Perfectly, all these main living areas overlook the luscious gardens, ensuring it's impossible to forget you're living in your own piece of serenity.

Privacy and luxury define the master suite, featuring direct verandah access, a lavish walk-through robe, and a chic ensuite. Accompanying this retreat are three additional double bedrooms, each providing comfortable living space for family and guests, all with built in robes.

Outdoor entertaining is a delight in the alfresco area, boasting raked ceilings, a feature fireplace, and complemented by a full-length paved terrace. The wrap-around verandah offers a peaceful haven, perfect for relaxation and entertaining, while the space flows seamlessly from the residence.

Adjacent to the outdoor living space is a triple bay brick garage which has been converted into a large studio with a toilette and inbuilt storage. Perfect for a home office or teenagers retreat, the space is open, light filled and easily accessible from the residence, though private and detached enough for solitude. Vehicle and machinery storage is now satisfied by an 8m x 10m insulated colourbond shed with power, to the rear of the main residence (built 2019).

Outside, the quality of pasture is evident and the gardens and greenery are well established. Grazing has been well managed by the current owners, where the land in Kirketon Estate has a long history of pasture management and improvement before subdivision. The house paddock is segmented into a well manageable, spacious area, with a large, productive vegetable garden adjacent to the home along with a fully-fenced chicken coop. Established trees are scattered throughout the property and line all boundaries, creating a private parkland, while a 50-tree established orchard at the front of the property is productive and attractive.

Conveniently located minutes from town and approximately 2.4km from the Barton Highway interchange, this property is ideal for those commuting to Canberra.
