379 Ancona Road, Ancona VIC 3715

This might just be the country property you have been dreaming about, with a lovely big period style home, a fabulous studio and huge sheds including an operational shearing shed. With over 11 acres on title including lush creek flats, there's plenty of pasture to keep some horses or livestock but not too much to look after if you're a busy family.

The setting is remarkable, so quiet and peaceful yet only a few minutes off the highway. It's less than 2 hours from Melbourne, about 10 minutes to Lake Eildon, 20 minutes to Mansfield and less than an hour to Mt Buller.

The house is deceptively spacious, with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, an updated kitchen with a cool breakfast bar and a nice big light filled open plan living area with lovely views over the gardens and lush creek flats paddock. The studio currently houses a pool table and equipment storage but it could be a great home office or perhaps some additional accommodation, with the potential to enclose the remaining 3 open bays of the original shed. There's exciting potential to set up a farm-stay business, subject to council approval of course.

As well as the shearing shed (which is in excellent condition) there's also another 5 bay open shed and lots of parking space for additional vehicles or machinery.

Established veggie gardens and a great selection of productive fruit trees will allow you to enjoy fresh organic produce every day and the owners might even leave you some beautiful chickens if you promise to look after them well.
