A unique rural property in the magnificent Otway Ranges, with commanding rural views across the Western Plains to Mount Gellibrand and Mount Hesse.
Situated on 14.8 ha of highly productive freehold country, with an additional 2.4 ha of Crown lease wetland, this property is more than a country getaway, it offers the perfect mix of semi-rural living with scale for secondary income on many levels.
The beautifully refurbished home offers three generous bedrooms, all opening onto the return veranda, plus a range of formal and informal living areas, once again all with access to either the veranda or directly onto the vine covered terrace, perfect for alfresco entertaining. A formal lounge with wood heater leads to the formal dining room and adjoining modern well-equipped kitchen. In addition, there’s a large informal living room with vaulted ceiling and north and south facing windows for when the family gets together around the grand piano.
To complete the home offering, there’s a central bathroom, laundry and separate WC, plus double garage with separate self-contained office space that could easily accommodate a teenager retreat or dependent parent. Other features include ducted heating and reverse-cycle heating and cooling.
The home is set in a beautifully established garden with quiet terraces, commanding views and expansive lawn areas. If you dream of self-sufficiency, there’s a bountiful potager garden, orchard, potting shed and hen house.
The property is zoned Farming Zone (FZ), subdivided into six main paddocks and perfectly suited to a lamb or beef fattening enterprise or alternatively a stud animal operation. The property includes a prized stand of native hardwood timber varieties highly suitable for furniture production. There is a large machinery shed with concrete floor. Other improvements include timber cattle yards with crush, excellent fencing and seven poly water tanks totalling in excess of 170,000 litre capacity, plus two 5 K/W solar power systems.
Just 35 minutes from Geelong’s town centre, 20 minutes to Lorne and Surf Coast beaches and 90 minutes to Melbourne. Inspection sure to impress!
