455 Hadlow Drive, Lake George NSW 2581

Impressive. The word on your lips as you make your way inside 455 Hadlow Drive. The sentiment continues as you make your way around, a great location, privacy galore, an elegant home and a shed beyond expectations. Positioned perfectly on a large 6.7ha (16.56 acre) block, this gorgeous home is a seamless setting for your rural lifestyle, complete with a pony, sheep, alpacas or simply oasis for the native wildlife. The owners are detail oriented, their focus was on creating a comfortable home that sits quietly in the natural environment, they wanted their home to be energy efficient and have created a totally off grid rural home.

Originally designed by Dub Design, the house underwent a major extension four years ago. Peter Gillet of Sutton was commissioned to create the spacious home as it now stands and it has been built to maximise the Northern sun. The solar passive design ensures it is warm in winter as light literally pours in, shadier in summer courtesy of the deciduous landscaping. Combine that with beautiful, structured gardens and a really impressive shed, and the whole family will be happy.

The home is modern and contemporary, a beautiful mixture of bamboo flooring and tasteful tiling create a lot of warmth through the living spaces. The master wing is referred to as the 'parent retreat', a private space to enjoy. The main bedroom is large, with a beautiful garden outlook, a lovely sitting area, large fitted walk-in robe and a beautiful ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are a good size too, each with storage and the study is large enough to be a "work from home" space. The gorgeous main bathroom features a luxurious soaking tub and tasteful antique cabinet.

Whether it's entertaining on your mind, or long, family lunches, the "alfresco" area will be a much enjoyed space. It has a lovely kitchen-type fit out with great bench and cupboard space, a drinks fridge, built-in gas barbeque and sink. You can open up the stacker doors to let the outside in, or close it up, and utilise the fire for year round comfort. Either way, it's sure to be a favourite spot to pass the time.

At 455 Hadlow Drive, we weren't joking about the word 'impressive'. The verb remains perfect as you explore the beautiful home and into the gardens. For those wanting to really get your hands dirty in your new rural retreat, the veggie gardens are poised to provide your whole family with fruit and veg, and a recently planted 15 tree manzanilla olive grove all complete with irrigation. The orchard is established, with a range of fruit trees including apple, apricot, mulberry, nectarine, peach, plum, lemon, lime and oranges. Three stock proof paddocks are set and ready for you to bring some four legged friends home, and a beautiful dam is a gorgeous feature piece.

This is a property where you can live well, sharing with your friends and family, cooking and eating the food you can grow in a home that offers you all the modern comforts while being cost efficient. The solar off grid electricity setup is going to provide you with plenty of power with the security of a reliable backup system and best of all- no more power bills!
