How would you like to own a stunning and sustainable four-bedroom home, surrounded by thriving native gardens?
White Sallee Creek is set on .8 ha of land at 25 Lakewood Drive, Jindabyne. The property is nestled within the peaceful Lakewood Estate, just a few kilometres south of the Jindabyne CBD.
Designed with environmentally-friendly features and year-round comfort in mind, the house itself is rustic on the outside with a fresh, contemporary feel indoors.
When she first stepped inside the two-storey home, Belle Property Snowy Mountains agent Dani Kell was captivated by its unique sense of style.
“You enter straight into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. It’s a large space, but very welcoming,” she says.
“There are loads of little features that make it feel like a home, like the handmade front door and warm, golden lighting.”
Polished concrete floors flow throughout the ground level. Durable and low-maintenance, they offer a sleek, modern finish to contrast the neon splashback and overhead lights in the kitchen.
Past the lounge area and through a three-panel sliding door is the sunroom, Dani’s favourite space on this level.
“I love the atmosphere of this room,” she says.
“It’s so thoughtfully designed, from the ‘glow in the dark’ polished concrete floor to the timber surrounding the fireplace and of course, the beautiful view. From here, you can see across Lakewood Estate to the Snowy Mountains ranges beyond.”
Past the kitchen is a three-way bathroom, conveniently equipped with two separate toilets for privacy. The laundry offers plenty of storage space and handy external access.
There are two bedrooms on this floor, both with built-in wardrobes and statement light fittings.
Soft, luxurious carpets and stunning rural views define the third and fourth bedrooms upstairs. Alternatively, the smaller of the two could serve as a home office, rumpus, or meditation space.
The White Sallee Creek residence faces north and is solar-passive thanks to a 6.5-kilowatt panel system.
“Being in an alpine region, Jindabyne does get very cold in winter,” Dani says.
“But this home keeps you comfortable no matter the season with carefully planned thermal mass, double-glazing throughout and extensive eco-friendly insulation up to an R6 level in the ceiling, walls and floor.”
“The design also features geothermal hydronic underfloor heating for extra support.”
Whether it’s the original 1950s Snowy Hydro hut, thriving veggie patch, or sprawling native gardens that appeals most, White Sallee Creek shows its best side outdoors.
Steps from the house is a double-bay shed, already equipped with a workshop, mezzanine storage and three attached carport spaces. The shed’s main door was crafted from timber that once served as Mount Kosciuszko steps.
“The current owners have put so much effort into every corner of this block. You could be quite self-sufficient here if you wanted to be,” Dani says.
“Multiple glass and shade houses, a huge chicken coop, established pathways and an organic veggie patch would thrill any would-be homesteader.
“If entertaining is more your thing, gathering around the fire pit while the kids play in the cubby house and on the in-ground trampoline is a must.”
White Sallee Creek’s namesake is rain-fed and trickles gently through the property year-round. Nearby is a beautiful little pond with its own viewing deck, the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee.
Extra features on the property include a 60,000-litre rainwater tank with a pressure pump connected to the house and outdoor taps.
Lakewood Estate is a social lifestyle community comprised of small-acreage residential lots and 202 ha of common land, which includes biking and hiking trails, as well as horse agistment, a community hall and an RFS shed.
White Sallee Creek would best suit a growing family with a love for the outdoors, or tree-changers looking for a private block close to town amenities.
“Number 25 would also be a wonderful home for anyone with equestrian interests, thanks to Lakewood Estate’s agistment offering,” Dani says.
“Being so close to Thredbo and Perisher alpine resorts, it’s a perfect spot for lovers of snow sports.
“And of course, the sustainably-minded will adore all the little features that make White Sallee Creek one with nature. It really is the full package.”
White Sallee Creek, 25 Lakewood Drive, will go to auction at the Belle Property Snowy Mountains office in Jindabyne, on Thursday 24 July, at 2 pm.
