Picturesque countryside, highly productive pastures and a home full of history and character are the highlights of this rural holding, a short drive from Drouin, Lang Lang and 20 minutes from Warragul.
Immaculately maintained through a meticulous weed and fertiliser regime, the approximate 50 hectares (124 acres) is predominantly level with some steeper terrain adjoining the Lang Lang River along the rear boundary.
Improvements include the three bedroom, three bathroom homestead, multiple machinery, hay and storage sheds, former dairy plus stockyards with loading race and crush.
Abundant water is provided by a large dam which is pumped to a header tank and gravity fed to troughs throughout the property together with smaller dams, Heifer Creek and tanks for household use.
The acreage is divided into 24, five acre paddocks, hot wired and accessed via a central laneway.
Over 17,000 trees have been planted in an extensive revegetation program creating pockets of natural bush and wildlife corridors, a mecca for koalas, wombats, wallabies, possums and a variety of native birds.
Once a modest farmhouse, the homestead has been extended, refurbished and modernised over time to create a versatile home to suit a range of households, including extended family seeking a degree of independence.
The split level layout includes the three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, spacious kitchen/diner, two living areas, home office, powder room, utilities/mud room, generous storage and a sunny deck for alfresco entertaining.
A carport along the side and a remote controlled garage nearby cater for vehicles.
Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, moulded cornices and sash windows are a nod to the past, multiple skylights throughout flood the interior with natural light.
Wood fueled hydronic heating and split system air conditioners in both living areas maintain year round climate comfort whilst 20 solar panels reduce energy costs.
Well appointed for the home chef, the kitchen includes gas hot plates, electric oven, Bosch dishwasher, island bench and a butler's pantry, complete with an additional sink.
Part of an extension, the main living area is an impressive room with a soaring, lime washed cathedral ceiling.
New carpets and window coverings, including roller blinds and plantation shutters, are further updates.
For the buyer in the market for productive acreage or the family seeking an idyllic country lifestyle, this is a property with many options, best appreciated by a personal inspection.
