105 Shaws Road, Merton VIC 3715

There's a lot on offer here. A sprawling country style home with 4 bedrooms and a study or 5th bedroom, 3 very flash bathrooms plus a separate powder room. The main living zone features polished timber floorboards and lovely high ceilings. With room to entertain a crowd, this generously proportioned area includes a stunning new kitchen with high end appliances, a huge living room and a light filled dining area, all opening onto the timber decked verandah overlooking the 15 metre inground pool. There's also a large separate sunroom on the other side of the house, which looks like a lovely spot to read a book in front of the fire on a winter's afternoon with the sun streaming in through the floor to ceiling windows.
A lot of thought (and expense) has gone into the recent refurbishment with the floorplan allowing all your family and friends to spread out and relax in their own space. There's lots of great features, but we love the 3rd bathroom off the laundry/mudroom that means wet kids don't need to traipse in and out of the house. Or perhaps you are a bit muddy after getting your green thumbs stuck into the amazing veggie patch or the huge covered apple and berry orchards.
There are 6 fenced paddocks in addition to the 2 acres house 'block', each with it's own dam. The second entrance, separate to the tree lined house driveway, allows easy access to move stock to and from the property with some functional yards and a cattle crush. You could easily lease these paddocks to a local farmer if you want to enjoy life on the farm (and potential tax deductions), without the responsibility of your own livestock.
And if you are looking for a big shed, or three or four, this might be your idea of heaven. The original shearing shed is a beauty! There's another huge shed, roughly 12m x 6m, and a triple carport plus numerous other small storage sheds.
The location is great too. Nice and quiet, but only a few minutes off the Maroondah Highway. It's less than 2 hours from Melbourne, with Lake Eildon, Mt Buller and a host of other attractions within easy reach.
