8 Shepherd Drive

Set amongst five acres (2Ha) of beautifully established native gardens and peaceful bushland surrounds, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the perfect balance of privacy, space and convenience, all within an easy 10-minute drive of Orange. Built in 2015 and thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the 192sqm residence combines modern comfort with energy-efficient living. Floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows along the northern aspect capture beautiful natural light throughout the day, while the home's excellent orientation creates a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. Day and night roller blinds throughout provide both privacy and comfort, complementing the home's practical design. Designed for relaxed family living, the home unfolds across two levels with multiple living zones, generous accommodation and seamless connections to the outdoors. At its heart is a spacious country-style kitchen featuring a stunning hardwood timber island bench, overlooking the open-plan living and dining area. A separate family room provides valuable additional living space, while the upper-level master retreat offers a private sanctuary complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and adjoining office or sitting area. Outside, the lifestyle on offer is equally impressive. The covered alfresco entertaining area overlooks a beautifully landscaped in-ground swimming pool, creating the perfect setting for long summer afternoons and gatherings with family and friends. Established native gardens attract an abundance of birdlife, while the property's excellent fencing and well-planned infrastructure make it ideally suited to horse enthusiasts, hobby farmers or those simply seeking space, privacy and a connection to nature. Equestrian buyers will appreciate the quality sand horse arena, while the substantial shedding provides exceptional versatility. Comprising four bays in total, including two vehicle-accessible bays and two workshop spaces, there is ample room for machinery, storage, hobbies or business pursuits. An oversized covered carport provides additional sheltered parking for multiple vehicles, trailers, caravans or recreational equipment. Adding further flexibility, the oversized garage with internal access presents exciting potential for future conversion into additional accommodation, a home office, studio or extended living space on the ground floor of the home (subject to the necessary approvals). Offering the tranquillity of a rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience, this thoughtfully improved acreage property presents a rare opportunity to secure your own private retreat in the tightly held Mullion Creek district.
