The Goulburn home for sale offering unique country living

As the gates open to the community of Tallong Park, the road is lined with an endless stream of trees displaying colours in the most beautiful autumnal hues. 

Not too far in, you’ll find the home at 138 Mulwaree Drive. From above it looks like the hexagonal sections of a honeycomb, working in unison to create a unique structure. But the inside is even more special. 

Floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows invite the bushland inside, complemented by the masses of timber found around the house. High ceilings lead to skylights which fill the three enormous living rooms with soft filtered sunlight.

 The internal courtyard is a truly private sanctuary, with a wood fire perfectly rounding out the serene setting. Here, you are at peace. 

“When I first walked in the front door, I just knew I had to buy this house,” said the 82-year-old seller, who wished to remain anonymous.

“The dome ceilings, the huge rooms, the wood panelling that goes through the entire home – and then you have this amazingly large kitchen. When you sit in it, you can see outside from seven different doors and windows, looking into various trees and shrubs. The views from every window really do bring the outside in and you can’t see any of the neighbours, it’s so private.

“I love this home and I want to stay but given my age, I know it’s time for something smaller that I can manage better.”

The vendor said that even though the rooms were so large and spacious, the home was still captivating and warm. 

Selling agent Debbie Carey of Richardson & Wrench Goulburn agreed but said that the sheer size of the rooms, especially the lounge room, could make for a viable business opportunity for the new home owner. 

“Working from home is so commonplace these days and that particular room could house no less than six separate desks,” Carey said. 

“Being encased in bushland, it could also be a perfect opportunity for a wellness-based business such as yoga, pilates, or a meditation or massage studio because it’s so tranquil and the surrounding windows are like panoramic pictures of nature.

“But if you’re a large family, this could also be the perfect rumpus, toy room or media room.”

With European and native trees surrounding the home, the wildlife that you’ll view from just about any window can make you feel like you’re in a fairy tale. 

“We get parrots, rosellas, magpies, kookaburras and so much more here,” the vendor said. 

“Last year I was able to keep a watchful eye on two fairy wrens who built their nest just outside a window. I watched as they wove little sticks into each other to create their nest into spring. I ended up naming them Herman and Lady Bird, because he was her man, and she was his ladybird.”

Living in the Tallong Park residential estate gives residents access to a host of incredible private facilities that’ll have you feeling like you’re living in a 24/7 retreat. 

Two lakes make for picturesque picnic locations and quaint fishing spots, while the stunning bush-lined trails are great walking routes. 

But perhaps most impressive of all are the golf course, the indoor heated swimming pool and the all-weather tennis court.

“I’ve been able to introduce my grandson to golf, so he often comes down to play a few rounds with his dad,” the vendor said.
