A rural escape overlooking a former quarry turned lagoon is going under the hammer in a sought after area just 10 minutes from Palmerston.

The 2.08ha property at 42 Fisher Rd, Virginia, has a home designed for Top End living, two lagoons, a swimming pool and a big shed.

Selling agent Ryan Rowsell of Ray White Palmerston said the property offered a blend of modern architecture and natural beauty.

“Nestled within a serene private wetland, this unique property offers a tranquil sanctuary filled with vibrant wildlife,” he said.

“There’s a couple of resident pelicans that fly in each year, an abundance of birdlife, some water monitors and a few wallabies as well.”

Mr Rowsell said the block’s main lagoon was once a quarry, which produced material used as road base in the local area.

“That lagoon is about 4m deep and holds water all year round,” he said.

“It’s a healthy ecosystem with fish and you can swim in it as well.

“You can’t replicate that – having your own waterhole just steps from your house.

“It’s like Lake Bennett without the long drive.”

The house has a distinct tropical feel with timber floors, plenty of natural light and a breezeway separating the main home and the master suite.

In the main section of the house there is an open plan living, dining and kitchen space wrapped in banks of louvres and opening to the breezeway.

The kitchen has an island bench, a breakfast bar and modern appliances.

The two bedrooms in this wing have built-in robes, and there is a bathroom, separate toilet and linen closet.

Across the breezeway the main bedrooms has a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite with freestanding bath and shower, banks of louvres and french doors opening to a private deck.

This bedroom looks out over the pool to the lagoon beyond.

The breezeway in the centre of the home connects to the covered outdoor living space, which sits at the edge of the larger lagoon.

The property also has a garden shed, water storage and a double carport.

The big two-bay shed and workshop has roller doors front and back plus extra covered space to the side.
