Unique in every way, this much loved home is nestled on a leafy allotment amongst Gippsland's green, rolling hills just over an hour from Melbourne. Cottage charm is abundant with high ceilings, leadlights, decorative fireplaces, polished rustic floorboards and shiplap lining on walls.
Commercial-grade internet (Fixed wireless NBN) and boosted mobile phone coverage ensures working from home takes on a new meaning in this idyllic setting.
A well-equipped kitchen with 900m gas range, beautiful solid wood benchtops, 2 pantries and new dishwasher flows into the dining room and lounge, making entertaining a delight. The dining room and lounge room feature unique wall art, the original fireplace (with wood-fired heater), beautiful wooden beam and French doors.
The original Conservatory has been brilliantly converted into a huge, stunning Master bedroom with double-glazed wrap-around windows to take in the gorgeous garden and scenic dam with its stylish bridge, water lilies and cute rowboat. It even has automated blinds – open or close with the touch of a single button.
Two extra bedrooms (one with functioning open fireplace, the other with wall-to-ceiling built in robes) provide ample room for a family and/or home office. The separate renovated bungalow is fabulous for friends to come and stay or perhaps even airBNB.
The bathroom features a deep bath next to a bay window taking in the garden view.
The large front deck with its extendable waterproof awning and café heater overlooking the cottage garden and surrounding hills is perfect for relaxing, entertaining or even setting up your home office for the day, regardless of the weather. Bird feeders bring in the local King Parrots, Rosellas and Corellas while Kookaburras chortle in the surrounding trees.
The extensive garden is an absolute delight with masses of established trees and diverse areas including cottage gardens, veggie patch, fruit trees, formal garden beds, tree fernery and expansive lawns all connected by well maintained paths. Sculptures and artwork placed strategically throughout add to the joy. Enjoy a hot bath in the external (very private) bath overlooking the dam with a Summer house and veggie patch. There's also a chook shed and a fenced area perhaps for a pony.
The Man Cave with workbenches, storage, TV, bar, sound system is a real man heaven.
Zoned ducted heating, solar power, integrated generator power back-up and ample water storage provide modern comfort and security.
