00:00From its barren beauty to lush landscapes.
00:07The Australian countryside is as beautiful as it is breathtaking.
00:14Many Australians are discovering rural life and making the move.
00:20So I'm on the hunt to help everyday Australians find their perfect country house.
00:30Welcome to one of my favourite country towns.
00:35We are in Orange.
00:37It is country living at its best.
00:39It is remarkable living here and totally understandable why today's buyers Owen and Genevieve want to make their first home here.
00:49So let's go meet our buyers.
00:51Come and join me, our beautiful couple for today, Genevieve and Owen.
01:03Wonderful.
01:04It's so lovely that you could join us in this beautiful, beautiful location.
01:08Did you grow up here?
01:09Is that the story or what happened?
01:11So Owen actually grew up just down the road at Bathurst.
01:14Okay.
01:15I grew up near Port Macquarie, so very different kind of climate.
01:18We originally met here when we were both living in Sydney.
01:22Both moved back to Sydney, started dating and before we knew it everyone was saying Genevieve would never get me out of Sydney
01:28and six months later we were moving back here.
01:30Here we are.
01:31Really?
01:32Good girl.
01:37We are...
01:38Newlyweds.
01:39Newlyweds with the bub on the way.
01:41We moved here from Sydney.
01:43We've been renting in Orange for about three years.
01:45We're really ready to settle down on a bit more land.
01:48It's our country escape and we certainly want to raise a family here.
01:53What we love about Orange is there is a lot available.
01:57There's great restaurants.
01:59We've got lots of friends and family here.
02:02We're currently working with a budget of around 2.5.
02:06What we're looking for is a place to call our own.
02:09The core things we're looking for is, you know, family space, open space, light.
02:14Places where we can have family and friends and entertain them but also have as our own home retreat.
02:19Space is the big one for us.
02:21More land to have the kids grow up on.
02:25Orange is located just a few hours drive west of Sydney right in the heart of New South Wales.
02:37This vibrant town is famous for its yummy food and wine scene showcasing cool climate wines and fresh local produce.
02:47It is also renowned for its charming heritage buildings and stunning natural landscapes.
02:53I love this place.
02:55Whether Genevieve and Owen are looking for a relaxed lifestyle, excellent schools or amazing food and shopping.
03:01Orange, trust me, it has it all.
03:08Tell me, what do you think of this property?
03:11What are your first impressions?
03:12I'm loving the look of the gardens.
03:14Yes!
03:15I think it's really lovely.
03:16We're on about 12 acres.
03:18It's obviously a beautiful garden.
03:20You know, we both love spending time in the garden.
03:23Hmm.
03:24The extensive gardens and the space is just great.
03:29Certainly a lot more than we expected.
03:31The character of the house is quite creative but peaceful.
03:35Simply it's welcoming.
03:37Everything is just inviting in.
03:38Nice and bright, you know, warm.
03:41All right, let's go check it out inside.
03:43I hope you're going to love the entertaining space.
03:46Come on through to this beautiful, big, light filled space.
04:00How amazing is this entertaining space?
04:03So it's a relatively new build.
04:06It's not even 10 years old.
04:08There's five bedrooms, one of which is used as a massive open bar entertaining space, which you can see.
04:15This open living space, I think, is quite remarkable.
04:19The kitchen is a Falcon oven, a gas and electric oven.
04:23Looks amazing.
04:24I love that big space and, yeah, lots of prep space, which is lovely.
04:28This is the only home that I've ever been able to say not only is there a butler's pantry, there is a walk-in commercial freezer.
04:37It's insane.
04:40The kitchen's beautiful.
04:42Obviously a big part of the entertainment space.
04:44I love the cool room.
04:46Walking into the house and seeing the entertaining space and the area, being able to host, it was really impressive and really ticked a big box for us.
04:57Take your time and when you're ready, I'll meet you outside in the garden.
05:01Okay, thank you.
05:02Oh, wow.
05:16This is lovely.
05:18Gee, look at that view.
05:20Very big space.
05:21Yeah, I love that.
05:23Wow.
05:24Check out the bathroom.
05:26That's insane.
05:28I like the walk-in wardrobe.
05:31Have actual space for our clothes.
05:34I really loved the idea of waking up to that beautiful view through the windows and having plenty of space for the clothes in the robe and the big bathroom so we can really spread out.
05:48I really want to go down and check out that garden.
05:50It looks really nice.
05:51Okay.
05:52Let's have a look.
05:53Come down and join me in this incredible entertaining space.
06:07It's not often that I get to show you not just the fire pit but also a pizza oven and hello, beer wench cooler.
06:16Don't know if that's staying.
06:18What do you think of this space and the gardens I should ask you about?
06:21The entertainment space, it's really nice how it spills down the hill.
06:24Loving the garden, certainly can make it your own but it's already set up really beautifully.
06:29And it's a beautiful outlook.
06:30What you can also subtly hear, the spring fed creek that goes through your property.
06:39What do you think this property is on the market for?
06:42I'd say 2.5 and upwards.
06:55I'd say 2.5 and upwards.
06:59Bang on.
07:00You're bang on.
07:012.5 to 2.8.
07:04It's certainly north of what we're looking at but it certainly can be considered when you're looking at something this beautiful.
07:11I'm blown away by this house.
07:12I was not expecting this much space.
07:15We're very excited to look at the others.
07:18Well, let's go and have a look at property number two.
07:20Yeah? Great.
07:21Everything has something from the wishlist.
07:22Come this way.
07:26Well, that was a pretty wonderful start to the day but I think this next property has a more homier family feel, shall we say.
07:33I have a feeling that Genevieve and Owen will love this place.
07:39Well, this is a beautiful driveway.
07:41There's a greenhouse just over there.
07:44Lots of shed space.
07:46This property is closer to town and slightly smaller.
07:50I should let you know that the current owner is an amateur radio enthusiast.
07:55So that is why there's this tower.
07:57Unfortunately, the tower has already been sold.
08:00Oh.
08:01Bummer.
08:02Bummer.
08:03Won't be a hobby we're getting into then.
08:04Beyond dreaming about becoming a radio host, I think it's lovely.
08:08You can see the light everywhere hitting the house.
08:11So it's, you know, the facade's beautiful and it looks out further west, which is lovely.
08:15I think it's beautiful.
08:16It's got that country style with a bit of a modern twist to it a little bit.
08:22The trees and the lawn space is just really nice.
08:26I think it's really inviting, yet secluded.
08:31Everything is pretty well planned out.
08:33It's good for, you know, what will be a bit more of a chaotic lifestyle with a new bub on the way.
08:38But there's a lot of blank canvas for us to work with.
08:41Let's go and have a look inside.
08:43Okay.
08:44We'll come on through to this landing straight away.
08:53You can see the floor to ceiling windows.
08:55Big, high ceilings.
08:56Feels very cosy and nice.
08:58Yeah.
08:59It feels like a home.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Magnificent fireplace there.
09:03And hello, how about a sunken lounge?
09:05Yeah.
09:06Very nice.
09:07Come on through to the kitchen.
09:08Another couple of stairs.
09:13Once again, really easy to maintain this kitchen.
09:17Lovely big open space.
09:19What do you think of this area?
09:21I really like it.
09:23It feels like this is definitely somewhere that you can see a family growing.
09:29Yeah, I think it's a little bit like the last place.
09:32The first thing we thought about was entertaining.
09:34This is more about, you know, this is like family space.
09:37What do you think of the kitchen space?
09:39Look, I think that would be first cab off the rank.
09:42If we were to move in, it's probably making it a little bit larger.
09:45But it's, yeah, it's great for straight away.
09:48I can't offer you a walk-in cool room.
09:50Yeah, well...
09:51Damn it!
09:52Walk-in cool room is not a mandatory, but it is a nice...
09:57Had that real homely feel to it.
09:59You can see people have lived in here and, you know,
10:02similar to some of the homes we've been in growing up.
10:05It's more set up for a family.
10:07Would you like to go and have a look at the rest of the house?
10:10And when you're ready, I'll go and meet you outside in the garden.
10:12Perfect.
10:13Fantastic.
10:14Okay, enjoy.
10:15Oh, wow.
10:16I love the light that's coming into the bathroom.
10:25Yeah.
10:26This is a lot bigger than I was expecting.
10:29Very interesting, the open bath next to the bed.
10:32Yeah.
10:33That's a funny one.
10:36Certainly, yeah, I've never seen that.
10:39It's certainly an interesting feature.
10:42American 70s hotel vibes.
10:44But you never know.
10:45We might go to love it.
10:47No, it's nice open space.
10:48And again, we've got the wardrobe that's separate to the bedroom,
10:52which keeps the bedroom as the bedroom.
10:55Nice outlook outside.
10:57Let's have a look.
10:58I found myself an orange tree.
11:13Well, you might have left Sydney, but I can still offer you a waterfront location.
11:18Yeah, just a little bit different.
11:20Something I was wondering is, do you have a dog?
11:22Yes, we do.
11:23We have a little water collie named Dixie.
11:25How lovely.
11:26How do you think Dixie would find this much land?
11:28Oh, I think she'd love it.
11:29I think it's beautiful.
11:30I think it's peaceful.
11:33What do you think it's on the market for with this one?
11:35I'd say a little bit less, around 2.3, around there.
11:41It is around there.
11:42It's about 2.5.
11:43Okay.
11:44So 2.5, so we're on a little bit less land.
11:46I think it's very fair for how much land there is.
11:49It's a little bit north of what I thought it would be.
11:52I really like this one.
11:53I think it is a little bit more us.
11:57One more house for us to check out.
11:59Let's go and have a look.
12:00Great.
12:01The first two have been pretty good.
12:03So I'm excited to see the last house.
12:06Well, I am fortunate enough to be in Orange today, helping newlyweds Genevieve and Owen find the perfect country home.
12:29We've already checked out two properties with loads of space.
12:34One is an entertainer's dream and the second had a really cosy family feel.
12:39Now this last option, it's slightly more modern and it has loads more land, which could be exactly what they've been looking for.
12:47Alrighty.
12:48It's a relatively new build, probably the newest of the homes that we're going to show you, but this is on the biggest plot of land, about 32 acres.
12:58But most of it is this magnificent view that I'll take you to out the back.
13:04And that is the way this house has been designed to maximise this lovely view.
13:09It is so quiet.
13:10And yet, we're 10 minutes from town.
13:12Coming in, it's that preconceptions about that new build, look and feel.
13:16It's certainly not our style, but because there isn't established gardens or anything like that, it's all potential.
13:22Yeah.
13:23To add our own little flair to it if we wanted to.
13:25That's right.
13:26Would you like to come and have a look inside?
13:27Yeah, I'd love to.
13:28Well, you can lead the way.
13:29Head on through.
13:30I mean, that view just draws you straight out.
13:33So here you can see we're marrying the entertaining with the bedroom wing as well.
13:43So we've kind of got a bridge between the last two properties.
13:47Obviously, you can see floor to ceiling windows.
13:50You're probably going to like what you find outdoor.
13:52We'll get to that.
13:54But what do you think of this more modern build?
13:58We've certainly had a kind of farm home style that we've been looking for,
14:02but it's certainly different and I'm liking looking at different things.
14:06When you walk into the house, it's a very different experience from the exterior.
14:10It's you're immediately drawn out to that view.
14:13Surprisingly very big.
14:15If you would like to go down and have a look at the bedroom wings, I'll meet you out by the gums.
14:21Great.
14:22All right, lovely.
14:24Definitely get your step count up going down this hallway every day.
14:32Nice big bathroom.
14:34Oh, wow.
14:35Isn't this beautiful room?
14:36Nice and big.
14:37It's lovely.
14:38Beautiful outlook outside as well.
14:39Disappointed that the bath isn't that close to the bed like the last place.
14:45Should we go have a look outside?
14:46I want to see the pool.
14:47Yeah.
14:48Well, what do you think of this?
14:50This is stunning.
14:51This is really nice.
14:52This is really nice.
14:53This is all yours.
14:56The Spring Fair dam out there.
14:58It's beautiful.
14:59It's really nice and it's peaceful.
15:02Hello swimming pool.
15:03Hello swimming pool.
15:04Yeah.
15:05Yeah.
15:06I will happily be the pool cleaner if it means I can have a pool.
15:25And you do need it here, don't you, because the summers are hot.
15:29Yeah, it's really set up for families and entertaining, but is it too new for you?
15:34Is it a is it a handbrake for you? Certainly a hesitation for me, but then
15:39again when you're looking out onto that Vista, that's the first thing you notice,
15:43not the new bricks or the fittings or anything like that. The cosmetic changes
15:48can be made. Okay, what do you think it's on the market for? Hmm, I'd say more than
15:52house number two. I was actually thinking 1.9, but that might be way off. It's
15:57actually at the moment 2.8. Oh right. Yeah, but it's just hit the market. I may have low-balled it a
16:04little bit in the estimation, but I think for the amount of land it's very fair and
16:08you know having five bedrooms, the space is plenty, there's plenty of amenities,
16:12it's it's pretty fair for what it is. Yeah. Three very different houses, things
16:18that we love and don't love in all three houses, so yeah we have hard tasks ahead of us.
16:27While Genevieve and Owen take their time contemplating the options that we have checked
16:40out, I have a little bit of time on my hand for a little bit of shopping. I've managed to
16:45run into former Mayor Jason and we had a chat about how incredible his hometown is. Jason it's so lovely to
16:53meet you. Thank you for meeting me in this beautiful space to sing the praises of your gorgeous town.
16:59I'm overwhelmed by the business success of Orange. I mean I could talk about this store alone.
17:05How did it get to to where it is now where you are the success story of all country towns?
17:10I think entrepreneurs like Pip who opened this store and took a gamble, we've had we've had a lot of
17:15those in town and the gambles paid off and it's made Orange a destination. When I first came here
17:23it was to talk about the apple orchards and they've slowly evolved into being the wineries but I do tend
17:29to find that the community here is very very supportive of each other. Well they are and as you
17:33said you know we were an apple and cherry growing town and now we've evolved into this food and wine
17:38destination with amazing vineyards and amazing restaurants on our doorsteps. I'm just so lucky to live in a
17:45town like this and bring my family up in a town like this. There's opportunities for employment.
17:49There's opportunities for sport. There's so many opportunities in Orange. Wow you should be the
17:53mayor. Oh my goodness you are. You're very proud of the beauty of this town too aren't you? Oh we are.
18:00You know we get the four seasons in spring and autumn the colours. We're known as the colour city.
18:05The trees just go this magical colour and you see people out taking photos in front of them. It's fantastic.
18:10And then in summer we get our visitors up here and we have amazing cherries at Christmas time so
18:15we get a lot of foodies coming up and trying all our produce. I invite everyone to come and
18:20experience Orange. You'll be amazed. Well I'm going to go and have a raid of the shop. Thank you
18:25for bringing us here. It's absolutely gorgeous. No problems at all.
18:28After some time discussing the options I have just heard from our couple that a decision has been made.
18:42So we are catching up again so I can hear the big news.
18:46Hi. I hope you don't mind that I've got bubbles. That's so fun. Thank you for meeting me here because
18:58I'm slightly obsessed with this store. When we talk about those three houses is there one of the three
19:03that we can cut out straight away? Yeah. For me it was probably number one. It didn't quite have that
19:11homely feel. It was big wasn't it? Yeah. It was a beautiful house but I just don't think it really
19:18was our style. We'll definitely take on the idea of having a cool room inside your house.
19:26So that leads us to two and three. So how did you feel about those? Three we definitely agreed that the
19:33look of the house was just a bit too new for us. You said that you liked an older home didn't you?
19:39Yeah definitely. Yes. That was a really impressive house and massive hallways. That was the one with
19:44the pool. Yeah. The pool was a really big tick for me. I really liked that about house number three.
19:50But does that leave us with house number two? It does. So house number two we well lost the word. You had
19:59said it was a dream of yours to always have house orchard space is that right? Yeah it was kind of like
20:06had land that you've got you know a little backyard with an orchard. There's interesting parts of it
20:12which obviously would change over time but that would be great for babies. Yeah great for babies.
20:16Really lovely for babies. Yes. Well I wish you all the best of luck. Will you pop in an offer or what
20:23what do you think you'll do? Yeah I think the next step is to put in an offer. Yeah house number two. Well
20:28that is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for spending this time with us. We wish you all the very best. Thank you.
20:33Thank you. Well I kind of had a feeling that the homey family feel was a perfect fit for our couple.
20:41And guess what? Since our house hunt I have received some fantastic news. They have successfully purchased
20:48house number two. Hooray! I wish you all the very best of luck for your growing family in orange.
21:03Like this day. Yep.
