Located on the Port Fairy side of Koroit, a hop, skip and a jump from Tower Hill Recreational Reserve and close to town shops,schools, restaurants and all amenities, you will discover this delightful 3BR brick home nestled amongst established natives and lush gardens. If you have been looking for your own private rural retreat not too far off the beaten track... well, you might have just found it!
This property will appeal to young and old and especially those who appreciate healthy, sustainable living and being at one with nature. There are many established fruit trees, a large and very productive enclosed vegie patch, chook pen, aviary, wood shed and a steel double garage. You will love the long tree-lined driveway, the extensive shelter from the elements on the SW side of the property, and the wide open space for kids and animals to explore on the East side... You can often sight koalas in the trees and emus, wallabies may venture down from Tower Hill... you'll sight an abundance of birdlife and experience a harmonious country lifestyle.
The attractive brick home is set back in the heart of the approx 3439m2 (0.85 acre) block and has been craftsman built we believe in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It has been well maintained over the years with some worthy additions/ improvements over time inside and out. The house comprises formal entrance hall, spacious lounge room with a sunny NW aspect, an open kitchen/ dining room which in turn opens to a lovely outdoor entertaining area. There is also a side timber decking area/ pergola off the house for some quiet time. There are 3 large bedrooms with ceiling fans and BIRs, a sparkling new bathroom with bath, shower, vanity, an adjacent separate toilet and laundry - both recently refurbished. The house has 9' ceilings, pink Batts in the roof and insulation in all internal and external walls; there is a 3 year old wood heater and reverse cycle split system making this a nice cosy house whatever the weather!
For a country property, a lot of the hard work outside has been done for you, so you can kick back, relax & enjoy a care-free lifestyle without worrying about the maintenance! Recent works include: roof repointed, new flashings, replaced HWS (2 years), new drainage field to septic tank; there is a bore with a new submersible pump which services toilet and laundry and is connected to 4 taps around the gardens; 2 x 5,000 gallon (22,000 litre) freshwater tanks with new pump; NBN available to the front of the property though the current owners are connected to ADSL. Fencing is in good condition and there is a front paddock separately fenced from the house block, which has its own access from the road, there is plenty of room to add garaging/ studio or the shed of your dreams!
This is a property that really does offer the best of both worlds: lovely scenery, space all around you and complete privacy, yet not too much ground to look after; friendly neighbours that you hardly ever see, but are close enough if you need them; a feeling of remoteness, tranquility, the bush setting, yet all city amenities are only a 5 minute drive away... call today to take a closer look and make the lifestyle change you've been craving!
