Wamboin property stuns with incredible transformation

Nestled in bushland in the quiet rural community of Wamboin, this sensational holding needs to do little to prove its luxurious appeal. 

A bird’s-eye view of the eight-hectare property reveals a grand two-storey residence and separate yurt positioned between a full-sized tennis court and an in-ground pool. Despite these big-ticket items, the real magic of 58 Bingley Way unfolds from the countless details carefully selected to create a warm and intimate home grounded in the landscape.

“The owners have done a huge amount of work to the property over many years. So much thought and love has gone into it,” says agent Ellie Merriman of Ray White Bungendore. “Everywhere you turn there is something beautiful and bespoke.”

Bythorne is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence featuring two kitchens, a sitting room, multiple living spaces, a study and a fireproof bunker that doubles as a wine cellar. 

However, once upon a time, it was merely a “basic” three-room Duntroon timber cottage before it was picked up and transported to the site 20 years ago.

Since then, the century-old building has experienced an incredible transformation under the guidance of Carmody By Design, specialists in renovating heritage-listed homes.

From the exterior, classic weatherboard and stone elements combine with framed windows and terraced landscaping brimming with colourful flower and plant varieties to present a picturesque aesthetic upon arrival.

Inside, the grandeur begins with a foyer and stately staircase featuring wainscoting and roasted peat kiln-dried recycled timber flooring that flows throughout the living spaces, seamlessly transitioning from the old to the new layout. 

The ambience is inviting thanks to high ceilings, hand-crafted fireplaces, and expansive windows and doors, which ensure occupants feel a connection to their magnificent surroundings with views across the countryside.

Several rooms, such as the main living area, second bedroom, and dining room, conveniently open out to the external verandah and paved terrace.

The open-plan kitchen maintains the elegant country-style interior scheme found throughout the home. It has a farmhouse sink, old-fashioned tapware and an impressive Falcon Professional Classic oven with a six-burner stove.

The dining space easily accommodates up to 12 people, perfect for hosting friends and family.

Merriman says the many diverse places to entertain and savour the outdoors elevate the property to a new level.

“All around you there are spots to enjoy. Personally, I love the area with the pizza oven under the pergola near the pool. It’s so beautiful and inviting,” she says. “The owners will be passing on a home to the next custodians that’s simply a joy to live in.”

Other features of the property include a deluxe garage and a six by 12-metre shed positioned at the back of the house, two dams, a bore, 90,000-litre stored rainwater and a horse paddock.

The separate (and renovated) yurt is an added bonus. It could be used as an art studio or guest accommodation. 

Merriman believes Bythorne will suit a buyer who is looking for a relaxed lifestyle property that’s ready to move into and enjoy.

Situated only 30 minutes from the Canberra CBD or 20 minutes from Queanbeyan, Wamboin offers an escape without forgoing city conveniences.

She adds that the area is characterised by standout architectural homes that have attracted strong sales, while the Wamboin community is particularly friendly and social. 

“They have a market run by the locals every month at the rural fire brigade station and a huge family-friendly fireworks event for the community in July,” she says.

“Wamboin has a really nice vibe. It’s close to the city but people feel like they’re in the country.”

58 Bingley Way comes with a price guide of circa $3.5 million. Expressions of interest close 3pm, October 14.
