This 8.3-acre residence styled like a country estate sits within the town boundary yet has the privacy, peace and quiet you would expect of such a property. It is situated just 5 minutes from amenities including the Northwest Regional Hospital, Marist Regional College and within 7 minutes to the CBD, beach, cafes and shopping and 15 minutes to the airport servicing Melbourne and regional centres. It is rare to encounter such a conveniently located property with a 'holiday house in the country' setting! Surrounded by stunning established gardens that add to the tranquillity and make a great home for the local bird life. Be self-sufficient, room for some animals on the lush green rolling paddocks, two beautiful dams, an orchard, raised veggie gardens, 13 kw solar system producing approx. 10kw of power, ideal to combat the rising price of power and to keep the EV charged (Electric Vehicle). Continuing with the self-sustainability theme, you may also be interested in the new 26,000 litre water tank adding to the homes water supply. Your favourite view will change from day to day with the architecturally designed home carefully positioned to enjoy so many of the beautiful aspects of the property. One of my favourite views is looking out across the undulating paddocks onto the creek and dam. Plenty of options for entertaining family and friends, enjoy a barbecue in the spacious sheltered courtyard, a quiet get together on the deck amongst the garden or perhaps a picnic by the creek with even more options for those times when you just want to relax and enjoy a good book, a warm cuppa and listen to birds sing. There are two substantial sheds on the property one of which has extra height, perfect for the horse float/caravan/motorhome or boat, plus a gazebo that the owners currently use for their hot tub which may be up for negotiation for the right price! **If you are interested the house comes with existing building plans and "no permit required" certificate for the shed to be made into ancillary dwelling which satisfies the $10,000 government grant program. As mentioned the home is architecturally designed with stunning features. The formal lounge is complete with a built-in bar and floor to ceiling windows that beautifully tie the garden and formal living area together. The high raked timber ceilings and stunning wood heater combine beautifully to give this wonderful home its Country Estate or Lodge style character. You will love the recently renovated kitchen with the addition of quality stylish appliances, the kitchen of course is complete with its own gorgeous view over the property down to the dam and the trees. Informal and formal dining areas allow flexibility at mealtimes. The informal living area is ideally positioned complete with another wood heater allowing for those who love to cook and interact with their family and friends at the same time. The walk-in pantry is a great bonus with plenty of scope to add your own style. The bedrooms are all spacious, the main with walk in robe and recently renovated ensuite is particularly special with yet another stunning outlook across your land to the trees and creek. The main bedroom has its own private deck soaking up the morning sun. The main bathroom has a separate shower and spa, the spa set into a bay window that overlooks the garden.
