Welcome to semi-rural bliss! Comfortably sited on approximately 1 acre, this sweet, colonial-style residence boasts relaxing rural views and lots of space for your family to grow, with Moriac's easy-going lifestyle at your feet?and only 15 minutes from Torquay and Waurn Ponds!
Perfectly suited to family life, the home is walking distance to the village centre and preschool, and close enough to the Primary School to watch older children amble to school from your front gate.
The surrounding area is rich with places to explore and enjoy, including vineyards and cellar doors, the Mt Moriac Hotel and Raven?s Creek Strawberry Farm. The Modewarre football club and local tennis courts make it easy to keep in shape and join in with the friendly community.
Extensive rose gardens frame the front of the home, with the sweeping drive delivering you right to the front door. As soon as you step inside, you?ll feel perfectly at home. Interiors feature warm slate, timber panelling, and quality timber floating floors. Families will appreciate the sensible floorplan that zones bedrooms away from the living hubs. The open plan kitchen and meals area has a built-in study nook that allows you to supervise children doing their homework while you cook dinner. Solid timber cabinetry and stainless steel appliances to the kitchen denote true quality. Appliances including a generous Fisher & Paykel double oven, electric cooktop and dishwasher. Extensive storage is sure to appeal. Absorbing views across the paddocks make a stunning backdrop for entertaining in the open-plan lounge and dining area. A gas log fire adds cheer to these rooms.
Wake to the sun rising serenely over the countryside in the master bedroom. A brand new en suite and fully-fitted walk-in robe provide modern comfort. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have mirrored built-in robes. The 2nd bathroom has been freshly updated and has a bath, vanity and semi-frameless shower, with the powder room next door.
The 4th bed/rumpus adjoins the 2-bay shed. This space offers a world of possibility: use it as a billiard room, accommodation for guests or teens, or storage.
Heating and cooling include a panel heater, gas log fire, split-system cooling and ceiling fans. Solar hot water helps to reduce bills.
The extensive paved outdoor entertaining area has covered and shaded options and a big fire pit for cooler nights. The child-friendly garden offers children a large, secure and private play space, complete with a cubby house.
The property has been used for the past 24 years for breeding prize-winning poultry, with awards including ?Best Bird in Show? at the Geelong Show and ?Best of Breed? at the Royal Melbourne Show. However, there's plenty of scope to accommodate your own business or leisure plans here: make use of the rear access off Cooks Lane and build a 2nd large shed or self-contained studio accommodation (STCA) with a private driveway.
The existing 2-bay shed has a workshop area, plus power and light. Beside the shed, there is a parking bay for a boat, trailer or caravan. Good fencing surrounds the property, and the grounds yield numerous chicken houses, a dog/cat pen, orchard and a neat and tidy vegetable patch. The abundant orchard promises to restock your larder seasonally with apples, nectarines, almonds and plums. Amenities include town water, power and sewage.
For those seeking acreage, with room to bring their dreams to life, but without sacrificing the comforts of town life, this well-equipped property bridges the gap with ease. Invest in peace, space and potential, and watch your plans and family blossom.
