17 Colvins Road, Eppalock VIC 3551

As the water levels rise in Lake Eppalock, so does the interest in owning nearby acreage. Less than 5 minutes to water sports and recreational activities at Lake Eppalock, 10 minutes to shops and schools at Strathfieldsaye and neighboured by exclusive homes, this 20 acre property has the first few pieces in place but needs the right owner to finish off the puzzle.

Only 3km from the Spillway turn-off, the location is undeniably appealing. The block is a harmonious blend of native bush, established gums and usable cleared areas for stock or horses with two dams.

As you follow the driveway past the front scenic catchment dam, you will catch your first glimpse of the home - a wide classic red brick facade with extensive muntin windows.

Straight from the 1980s, the home is in original condition and showcases brick feature walls and decorative arches. The main bedroom has a storage alcove and ensuite with shower, bath and toilet. Each of the two remaining bedrooms have built in robes and access to a Jack-and-Jill shower room.

An impressive rumpus room has cathedral ceilings and exposed timber lentels. A true entertaining area, there is a built in bar/kitchenette and more than enough space for a pool table and multiple couches and arm chairs.

Also under the roofline are two oversized double carports with built in benches and shelving. Perfect for vehicle storage or gardening, some may see the potential to create a new master suite, kitchen or extra living space.

A large enclosed steel and timber shed with concrete floor and power is a ready-to-go sanctuary for the home handyman. Also in place is an unfinished transportable building and sundry shedding with power and heating.

Expect a big project, but any hard work you put in will be rewarded once the job is complete.
