10 Governor Drive, Murrumbateman, NSW 2582

Where an executive family home meets a commanding rural outlook - light-filled living within, and paddocks, gardens and long valley views beyond, on a two-acre block at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac in Murrumbateman's Carrington Park Estate.

Welcome home, to 10 Governor Drive, Murrumbateman.

It sits at the top of the street, and the light knows it. Open-plan living and dining run bright and easy, warmed by a fireplace and opening through sliding doors to a covered alfresco and the countryside beyond. At the centre, a near-new kitchen with stone benchtops, a breakfast-bar island and a butler's pantry - handmade tiled splashback, 900-millimetre gas cooking - makes the everyday and the entertaining equally simple, while a dedicated theatre room, screen and projector in place, waits for movie nights.

The main suite keeps its own wing - floor-to-ceiling windows and plantation shutters, a walk-through robe to a double-vanity ensuite, and a private sitting room that works as a study. Three more oversized bedrooms look out to the gardens, and a separate study or playroom off the hall - a ready fifth bedroom - rounds out the plan. In-slab heating, ducted heating and cooling, and plantation shutters throughout keep it comfortable the year round.

Outside is the lifestyle: two acres set high and private, with manicured gardens behind an automated gate, a tree-lined driveway, mature fruit trees, a 'garden-to-plate' vegetable garden and a chook run, a fire pit for winter nights, and two fenced paddocks ready for a pony. A three-car garage with internal access and an extra double garage-shed take the cars and the acreage gear, while a 120,000-litre tank keeps the gardens green. All of it minutes to the village and cellar doors, around 15 minutes to the ACT border, and 35 to Canberra.

It will suit a family wanting space, privacy and an executive home already done - and appeal equally to anyone drawn to the view, the gardens and a quieter kind of country living. Either way, 10 Governor Drive is ready for its next custodians.

Take the alfresco at golden hour, watch the valley change colour, and settle in.
