Every now and then a larger acreage property hits the market that would suit a myriad of home buyers. This is one of those properties. “Yarrandoo” spans around twenty-eight-acres and is only minutes from the town of Orbost. The property boasts a comfortable four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, excellent shedding, stock paddocks, beautiful gardens, native bushland and a creek and dam.
The comfortable home features a large Parent's Retreat to the western end incorporating a large bedroom, ensuite and a built-in robe. An open plan combined living and dining area feature slate flooring and a slow combustion wood heater providing a distinctively country feel. Large windows provide lots of natural light. A well-planned kitchen complete with walk in pantry, dishwasher, ample bench space and a breakfast bar is perfect for the Master Chef in the family. The kitchen overlooks the beautiful rear garden.
A more intimate lounge at the centre of the home is a great place to relax with family or friends and enjoy a drink or alternatively would make a great children's play area. To the eastern end of the home there are three generous bedrooms, all with built in robes and large windows, a family bathroom with shower over bath, laundry and separate toilet.
To the rear of the home is a huge undercover entertaining area complete with fire pit, wood fired pizza oven and feature pond. This area significantly increases the living area of the home and could be enjoyed all year round.
The home is very eco-friendly with a mains connected roof mounted solar system, water tanks and a fully fenced veggie garden. There are three freestanding sheds. A 6x6m (approx.) shed/workshop with power connected is perfect for the home handyman/handywomen whilst there are two additional garden sheds. A freestanding double carport to the east of the home and another rustic open front shed nearby provide undercover parking for vehicles and farm equipment.
There around two acres of fenced paddocks, perfect for a few sheep or a couple of horses. The paddocks could potentially be increased in size with reconfiguration of the existing fencing. The balance of the property is predominantly bush running down to Simpsons Creek and the East Gippsland Rail Trail. The Rail Trail runs for around ninety-four kilometres between Bairnsdale and Orbost, meaning there's plenty of exercise options here. The bush provides an almost unlimited supply of firewood, perfect for keeping the home fires burning! The soil is very fertile and there is a variety of fruit trees and vines around the home. NBN is available whilst the nearby Telstra tower provides good Telstra 4G phone reception at the property and there is a bitumen road to the front gate.
Visitors to the property include a huge variety of birds including Lyrebirds, Bandicoots and even a Goanna. Sambar Deer are also known to move through the lower reaches of the property. The children or grandchildren won't need their devices here and will enjoy every minute of running around the extensive gardens or exploring the bushland.
It's only a short drive to Orbost which is nestled on the Snowy River. Orbost has several eateries and cafes, two supermarkets, hospital, medical centre, P-12 public-school, day-care centres, golf club, a hotel and more. A short drive to Corringle Slips or Marlo will allow you to launch the boat in the Snowy River or walk or fish the surf beaches. Lakes Entrance, on the Gippsland Lakes, is around forty minutes' drive where you will find Aldi and Woolworths supermarkets.
