Overview

Seven-plus car garaging, prime location

If serious garaging in a prime location is at the top of your wish list, this property demands your immediate attention. Set on an expansive 5,555sqm (more or less) lifestyle section in one of Darfield's sought-after streets, this exceptional property delivers seven-plus car garaging and workshop space that is increasingly hard to find. The standout offering includes an internal access double garage, a separate powered double garage, and an impressive 121.5sqm (more or less) three-bay shed complete with three-phase power, concrete flooring, workbenches and two roller doors. Whether you're a car enthusiast, tradie, hobbyist or need serious storage and workshop capability, this is the kind of setup buyers wait years for - and it will not last. The substantial two-storey home perfectly complements the garaging, offering four generous bedrooms, three bathrooms, including an ensuite to the master, three living areas and a separate office, providing flexibility for large or multi-generational families. Downstairs features an open-plan kitchen with ample bench and cupboard space, flowing to the dining and living area warmed by a log burner with wetback and floor-mounted heat pump. A large adjoining lounge and the separate office complete this level, along with the master bedroom with private patio access, a family bathroom and separate toilet. Upstairs, enjoy mountain views from the inviting landing space with built-in bookshelves, two further spacious bedrooms and a third bathroom. Storage is abundant throughout, with oversized wardrobes, hallway cupboards, roof storage and a separate outdoor storage room. Outdoors is equally impressive with a generous entertaining area featuring a built-in fireplace, a verandah along one side of the home ideal for all seasons, mature trees, established hedging, and fully fenced grounds. There's a chicken coop with chickens, a separate fenced paddock suitable for a few sheep, a deer-fenced yard around the home for pets or children, a large woodshed and plenty of off-street parking. Conveniently located close to township amenities, local schools and recreational opportunities including the Darfield Domain and McHughs Forest. The vendors have loved their time here, but motivation is high and they are ready to move on. Properties offering this level of garaging, space and lifestyle appeal are tightly held - act now to secure this rare opportunity. Contact us today to avoid missing out.
