One of Clare’s finest residences has hit the market, offering a master residence coupled with guest quarters and a function centre, cellar door or office.
Kookynie is a magnificent two-story stone home sited among an established lawn and garden setting, about 10km from Clare.
The floor plan includes three king-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms up stairs, and a dining room, drawing room, sitting room, kitchen, laundry, sun room and access to a below-ground two-roomed cellar downstairs.
Character features include 14-foot ceilings, a central stair case, original fire surrounds, ornate ceiling roses and cornice, together with timber doors and architraves. The home also has ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning.
The grass tennis court and sprawling lawns add to the lifestyle appeal.
Two identical self-contained cottages under the one roof are ideal for additional accommodation, located only metres from the main home.
The function centre has been renovated with stone and wood character, providing a unique complex for a multitude of uses.
It has male and female toilets, a bar, open fireplace and French doors that open out to the expansive front verandah and lawn.
There’s separate garaging for classic cars or a cellar under the main roof.
There’s no mains water, but rain water supply is excessive with five 22,500 gallon storage tanks, backed by a bore for automated garden, lawn and stock watering.
There has been considerable investment in this property in the past five years, and what has been done has been done thoughtfully.
The land is a mixture of excellent cropping land with about 100 acres as arable, with the balance being undulating grazing land in the hills.
The fencing is excellent, with three paddocks and stock troughs.
The property is set on two separate titles – of 39.01ha and 30.76ha – and is compliant and suitable for building an additional residence if required.
