Tucked away down a quiet country lane at the base of the Strathbogie Ranges, this remarkable property is only 15 minutes from Mansfield and even closer to Lake Nillahcootie. There's 21.5 acres on title, with a great mix of well fenced paddocks and treed areas with abundant native birdlife. The setting is very private and the land is relatively level and easily managed. There are 3 dams, including one big 'private lake' amongst the gums and you can walk or ride out the front gate and into the State Forest within a few minutes .
Improvements include a lovely custom built passive solar home, the original cottage (now a popular listing on Airbnb), a huge high span shed plus an enclosed fruit orchard and chicken run and amazing established vegetable gardens. Equine enthusiasts are well catered for with a full size arena and adjacent 30m x 20m show jumping area, a hedged 'round yard' plus 2 stables with day yards, tack room and wash bay (with hot water).
Back at the house there is an incredible lemon tree at the entrance accompanied by an equally prolific lime tree. Double glazing and a huge roof cavity helps keep the whole house naturally cool in summer and warm in winter. The two separate living areas both feature wood fires plus there is also floor heating and a small solar system to minimise power bills. Big North facing windows flood the home in natural light and frame the lovely garden vistas. The covered alfresco and lush lawn boast views to the forest covered Strathbogie Ranges. The verandahs and established trees shade the home in summer and you can keep the gardens nice and green (and productive) year round thanks to an excellent bore and extensive irrigation system.
Yarramalong Cottage has it's own living area and kitchen, plus a bedroom and bathroom. The private deck overlooks the arena, and once again boasts views to the nearby ranges. The current owners have been collecting a tidy income via Airbnb, and you could continue in that vein or simply use it for extra accommodation for your family and friends. We think you will have plenty of visitors if you purchase this beautiful property!
