77 Irwin Lane, Kangaroo Flat VIC 3555

Hidden between the gorgeous Tipperary Gully and the State Forest is this beautiful 15 acre property on Irwin Lane, owned by the one family for the past 40 years. With the feel of a property in Mandurang, this is not your typical Kangaroo Flat home, and is a must to view.

The expansive property has been lovingly nurtured and developed to include a 3-bedroom home, separate 2-bedroom self-contained unit, 1.5 acre vineyard, 2 dams with 3.2 megalitre water right and an abundance of secure vehicle parking.

The family home is solid brick, built to make the most of the northern aspect, the living space and kitchen stream with winter sun, and remain cool in summer. A Coonara wood heater, energy-efficient wall panel heater and evaporative cooling keep the whole house pleasant all year round. All three bedrooms have built-in robes and a good-sized bathroom and laundry.

The separate 2-bedroom self-contained unit was built in 2008 and could be used for many purposes – guest house, AirBnB, home office or the ultimate teenager retreat. It has its own gas hot water, gas cooking, euro laundry and split system - all built atop the remote-controlled garages and a large wine cellar to service the vineyard.

Along one side of the long driveway, is the established vineyard of 1350 vines (a mix of Shiraz, Cabernet and Viognier grapes) and is traded under the label of Kangaroo Gully Wines, which is an option for the new owners to continue the small business. A row of assorted fruit trees also lines the vines, while the rest of the property has fenced paddocks ideal for stock.

Surrounding the home, there is a pleasing outdoor area, chook shed and woodshed, carport, as well as a separate double car garage. There are also connections through the property to the many walking tracks in the area, including the popular Goldfields Track, which reaches Castlemaine.

You'll feel connected to nature on this divine property, with abundance of bird song, lizards and blue wrens, daily visits by the local kangaroos and when you take a wander down into the gully bordering Kangaroo Gully Road, you'll even see some wallabies. All of this, while being closely located to Lansell Plaza, Kangaroo Flat Train Station and only 8km from the Bendigo's Pall Mall.
