Perched high on almost 40 acres of blue-ribbon Wallaroo land, 81 McCarthy Road presents an elegant homestead loaded with lifestyle features.
The stylish main house enjoys a solar-passive design with high ceilings, extensive windows and fresh paint throughout.
Equipped with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, it also hosts a plethora of living spaces. They include a separate lounge and family room, both with fireplaces, a dedicated study, parents’ retreat, and an enclosed sunroom.
Sales agent Mark Johnstone from Ray White Canberra describes the home as peaceful, welcoming and filled with character.
“Wallaroo is a very tightly held area for good reason,” he says.
“This property blends luxury and practicality to support the ultimate rural lifestyle.
“Each room in the main house flows intuitively to the next and offers sensational views of the Brindabella ranges. The next owners will be treated to a 360-degree outlook across lush valleys and rolling hills.”
Past the study is an elevated dining room and country-style kitchen with rich timber cabinetry and a walk-in pantry.
The primary bedroom is a true escape, fitted with a sitting room, walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and private deck. The second bedroom also has a deck, although this one features French doors and overlooks a gorgeous resort-style inground pool.
Bedrooms three and four complete the picture with lush garden views. They share a family bathroom with a freestanding tub.
A few metres away is a charming studio with its own kitchenette, bathroom and two more bedrooms. The studio has already proven its potential as a successful Airbnb.
Outdoor entertainment is a must here. The sunroom is perfect for cooler days, while the spacious covered alfresco offers a relaxed setting for barbecues and informal get-togethers. A north-facing verandah off the family room provides easy access to that incredible view.
Other recreation spaces include a full-size tennis court and a romantic gazebo.
“Horsey families will love the stable complex and Olympic-size sand arena,” Mark says.
“There are loads of walking and riding trails to explore. The Murrumbidgee River is an easy one-kilometre stroll away.
“Further enhancing the value of this estate is its dual occupancy entitlement. There are several locations already bookmarked to suit a second dwelling, so you could easily live in the beautiful main house while you build your dream home.”
The property is certainly luxurious, but it also has plenty of practical features. They include a double garage and workshop space, an additional double carport, two solar panel arrays, a chook yard, and seven paddocks with stock-proof fencing.
Water will be no problem either – outdoor taps and paddocks are serviced by two dams, an excellent bore, and more than 100,000 litres of rainwater storage.
Wallaroo is widely regarded as the top choice for discerning lifestyle buyers in the Canberra region. Located right on the capital’s doorstep, the region offers easy access to city amenities while feeling worlds away from the daily grind.
Wallaroo is also premium wine country, home to a range of award-winning producers such as Nick O’Leary, Surveyors Hill, Pankhurst Wines and Brindabella Winery.
Hall Village is just up the road for great coffee, boutique shopping and daily essentials, while the Canberra CBD is only half an hour away.
“We all dream of owning a holiday home to flee the pressures of modern life, yet we rarely manage to escape as much as we truly need,” Mark says.
“Instead of searching for a getaway, imagine a life where your own home provides sanctuary. This remarkable property offers just that.”
