About this property

"The Block Getaway" - Peaceful Country Haven for Families

Newly completed, self contained house set on 10 peaceful acres, great views!

Property has been completed to a high standard with privacy, peacefulness & comfort for those who stay here at the forefront of our design. Very restful location, yet easily accessible to nearby Armidale, Uralla & even Inverell.

Property is located in Invergowrie in Rocklea Road, which is located only 10 mins drive or 13km west from Armidale on a sealed road. Invergowrie is an area of many small rural holdings, mostly around 5 to 10 acres of people wanting to be close to a reasonably large centre of Armidale, but with the space to allow for peace and quiet and to enjoy the rural relaxed lifestyle, that's safe and where you can get a good night's sleep.

Would be ideal for Families/Retirees/Professional people wanting a quiet weekend away or for a few days quiet, safe stay whilst visiting Armidale - very much worth the small 10 mins drive to stay in this relaxing environment, with everything you would need.

Bed's are made, ready for your stay. Linen provided, Cutlery, Plates, Kitchen Utensils, Microwave, Kettle, Toaster, Iron, Hairdryer, Dishwasher, Reverse-Cycle Air-Conditioning maintains temperature with Remote Control, 2 TV's, 2 DVD Players, Extra Heaters for Bedrooms, Fan, Bedside Lamps, BIW in Main Bedroom, Wardrobe in 2nd Bedroom with 2nd Sofa, Washing Machine/Laundry in Bathroom, Separate Bath, Shower, Vanity all with On-Demand Hot Water, Heat/Light/Fan Unit, Curtains/Blinds/Carpet or Floating Timber Floors throughout, Desk & Return, Porta-Cot.

House yard only is included excluding locked up garage - yard is fenced off from rest of property making a safe child-friendly yard. Pet cows sometimes graze in rest of property to keep the grass down and property neat. Well behaved small dogs are only OK in limited circumstances and with prior notifying of owner - there are sheltered areas for them in the enclosed yard, but NOT allowed in the house itself please. You must clean up after them also, or a charge will be imposed for us to do so. Any damage caused by pets will be deducted from bond. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR "WELL BEHAVED" DOGS TO BE GIVEN AN EXCEPTION AS A REFUSAL MAY OFFEND - NO DOGS INSIDE THE HOUSE, AT ALL!

All new or near new furniture, new carpet, floating timber floors, new bathroom, new kitchen, new appliances, but charm and quietness of location remain. House is well insulated making very comfortable throughout.

On-demand hot water, shower, separate cast iron bath, separate toilet next to bathroom, separate tv room for kids, dining/kitchen/lounge all combined, bench-top servery for meals as well as dining table/chairs, extra bed options, sofa-beds, etc included also.

Local shop nearby (about 4 kms) which provides general store supplies, fuel, very tasty takeaways, ice-creams, movies, daily papers, etc and friendly service.

A safe, quiet, peaceful and extremely comfortable semi-rural haven on a sealed road, with very easy access to Armidale, Uralla & even Inverell. We love being a small distance from town to get the safeness and quietness of this great location. Every effort has been made to ensure your stay is enjoyable and relaxing, as has been the case for all staying so far. Visitor's Register with 100 percent positive experience feedback available if required. UNE easily accessible - nice easy trip of about 10-15 mins.

For longer stays the rate is the same - please do not ask for discounts for longer stays as the rate is the same as what Vrbo will quote - thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Jones

Host profile image
We are a local professional couple, who have built this property over several years as a "get away from it all" peaceful project. Has been greatly enjoyable the building of property, and much attention to detail and care has gone into it's construction and facilities/comforts included.

Why they chose this property

Property bought off my parents who purchased it off a neighbour as an interest block. Has just evolved over time as we all have enjoyed going there and working on it.

What makes this property unique

Larger block with great views set back off main road for peace and quiet at top of a small hill. Closed in yard and many trees planted around boundaries give great privacy also.
