The natural appeal and timeless beauty of the Loddon River at Bridgewater is constantly being re-discovered by locals, and excites those seeking a tree-change. 144 Sweeneys Lane, Bridgewater is an outstanding example of what country living is all about, and has the promise to be more than you expect.
A cosy retreat is comfortably settled on a rise by the river's edge - with plenty of open space around it to expand or re-develop. The home is the perfect size for a retired couple, or for use as a weekend abode. Many of you, however, will look past the existing infrastructure and see a blank canvas. Although zoned Farming, the property has existing rights for a dwelling and with a building permit from Council you could potentially decommission the home into a studio and build a luxurious residence.
The home is compact but practical, spotless and very well maintained. There are two bedrooms with robes, an ensuite, second bathroom, an office, a gas log heater and ducted evaporative cooling. The kitchen is equipped with gas cooking, dishwasher and a large pantry, while the open plan meals and living area has views to the Loddon River. Along the front of the home is a large enclosed verandah, which soaks up the full spectrum of river views. A carport and water tanks are already in place, sufficient for the needs of the current dwelling.
The 40 hectare / 99 acre property is comprised of rich fertile loam soils, the majority of which is in crop under a share farming agreement. Some boundary fences will need to be constructed, as will a permanent driveway. The property comes with a pumping licence, water frontage licence, and a 2 meg water right from the river. Access is available to the Wimmera-Mallee S&D Pipeline.
It feels a world away from anywhere, but really it's only a 3 minute drive to the thriving township of Bridgewater (famous for its bakery, boutique wineries and water sports), 10 minutes to the supermarket at Inglewood, and 30 minutes to the Bendigo CBD, making a daily commute very achievable.
