Located at the end of a peaceful country lane with over 200 metres to the nearest neighbour, this stunning property offers privacy, space, and an unparalleled rural lifestyle. From the moment you step inside the breathtaking 16-foot entry foyer, featuring massive beams reclaimed from the chapel at Pentridge Prison and exquisite black butt floorboards sourced from Williamstown Hall, it’s clear this home is something truly special.
With soaring 10-foot ceilings, ornate cornices, and period fittings throughout, the home exudes character while offering all the modern comforts. The expansive kitchen, complete with a butler’s pantry, flows effortlessly onto the covered outdoor living area through concertina servery doors, creating the perfect space for entertaining. The second living zone also opens out to the outdoor area, ensuring a seamless connection between the home and its stunning rural surroundings. Year-round comfort is assured with ducted refrigerated heating and cooling throughout, along with two large fireplaces fitted with efficient Coonara-style inserts, perfect for those cold winter nights. Further enhancing the home’s liveability, all walls and the ceiling are fully insulated, ensuring energy efficiency and climate control throughout the seasons. The home has also been professionally restumped with concrete stumps, ensuring a solid foundation for years to come.
Beyond the main residence, the property offers exceptional versatility with a separate studio that can be used as an office or gym, as well as a beautifully renovated one-bedroom caretaker’s cottage, ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, or even an Airbnb opportunity, both with their own energy efficient split systems. A huge shed provides ample space for tools, machinery, or storage for boats, caravans, and trucks. The home is also equipped with an 8kW solar panel system, helping to reduce energy costs, while the property benefits from commercial water pumping rights, ensuring a reliable water supply. Adding to the property’s appeal is the established chestnut orchard, providing a seasonal source of income.
Surrounding the home is a fully fenced yard with extensive gardens and charming garden sheds styled to match the main house. A large lawn area creates a natural divide between the two main paddocks and serves as an ideal space for entertaining or simply unwinding in the peaceful countryside. One of the stand out features of this incredible property is the massive dam that runs the length of the farm, complete with a jetty and a roofed decking area. Whether it’s cooling off in the summer months or enjoying a BBQ with friends by the water’s edge, this space offers yet another way to embrace the rural lifestyle. The home is also fitted with gutter guard for low-maintenance upkeep and protection against debris.
This is a truly unique opportunity to secure a beautiful rural property that offers not just a home, but a lifestyle. With an abundance of space, income potential, and absolute privacy, this is the ultimate country retreat. Properties of this calibre are rare—so don’t miss your chance to make it yours.
