Set on the quiet northern edge of Violet Town, 71 Shiffner Street is a generous residential allotment of 20m x 100m approximately, directly opposite the much-loved Shadforth Reserve and its network of walking tracks and open woodland.
With bitumen road frontage and a near-level, broadly proportioned site, this is the sort of block that makes building easy. Town services are available – including town water already connected, township sewerage available for connection, plus power and telephone at the boundary – giving you a straightforward platform to design and build your new home (STCA).
There's ample room here for a generous dwelling, shedding, outdoor entertaining, veggie gardens, play space for the kids and even a chook run, while still keeping a sense of openness.
Directly over the road, Shadforth Reserve effectively becomes an extension of your backyard. The reserve includes grassy ovals, community forest plantings, ponds and a mix of native woodland – popular with walkers, cyclists, dog owners and nature lovers year-round.
It's the perfect spot for a morning lap, a quiet evening stroll or letting the kids explore in nature without needing to get in the car.
From Shiffner Street, you're only a short trip into the Violet Town village centre, with primary school, community house, swimming pool, hotel, café, supermarket, chemist and sporting clubs all within easy reach.
Commuters will appreciate nearby Violet Town railway station on the Seymour/Shepparton V/Line line, offering direct services to Melbourne's Southern Cross Station, and the Hume Freeway placing Melbourne at around two hours by car (traffic dependent). Shepparton, Benalla and Euroa are also comfortably within daily commuting distance.
Whether you're dreaming of a relaxed country base with easy access to Melbourne, a lifestyle change with nature on your doorstep, or a family home with room for kids, pets and a decent shed, 71 Shiffner Street is a rare offering – big-block living with reserve frontage in a friendly country town.
