A Murrumbateman country retreat hits the market

Country resort living, 356 days per year. That’s the kind of lifestyle on offer at 356 Gooda Creek Road.

A private country estate of grandeur and style, this exceptional home is situated on over 32 hectares of rolling hills and paddocks. This includes four dams, an outdoor round yard, paddock shelters and barn for horses, vegetable gardens, a 12-metre outdoor swimming pool and a Jacuzzi.

View property

The tone is set from the get-go when grand, automatic entrance gates welcome you to the property. The main residence is single level and boasts stunning vistas across the countryside towards the Brindabellas.

The floor plan comprises surprises at every turn – a cosy television nook, an office, a gourmet kitchen and butler’s pantry and a rumpus room. But perhaps most exciting of all is the “activity” room with room for use as a secondary study, a library, a gym or all of the above.

An al fresco entertainment space and barbecue area overlooks the pool and extends the living room outdoors.

Over the other side is a stunning separate pool pavilion. In the summertime, most days could be spent lounging out here between dips in the pool when the temperature becomes too hot to handle – though automatic shade screens help to keep this area as cool as possible.

There’s a powder room to keep trips inside to an absolute minimum on pool days, and a fireplace to provide just as ambient a setting in the cooler months.
