99 Murphy Lane, Longlea VIC 3551

When you have been looking for that wonderful lifestyle you only find on acreage, you want good shedding of course and nice outdoor areas to enjoy it all, but you also want an immaculately renovated home with room for your whole family and it really should be in a highly regarded and sought after location. Well your expectations might be high but when it's going to be your home they should be. And fortunately once in a while these properties become available, like now, like this one.

This steel framed house has been extensively renovated and could well be a brand new contemporary home inside. The kitchen and bathrooms are gorgeous, the four bedrooms are spotless and then there is also a study. Large open plan living incorporates kitchen, dining and lounge and there's a second separate living area through the other end of the kitchen creating all the right spaces for your whole family.

The renovation has been finished to the nth degree with all you could possibly desire right down to push button led switches. Pristine modern lines feature throughout with large tiles, stone-look benches, timber-look vinyl plank flooring, stone coloured carpet, steel look ceiling fans and ultra modern fixtures and fittings. The kitchen is a delightful place to prepare nutritious meals with a built-in microwave oven with steam function, electric under-bench oven and gas cooktop, ample cupboard space including a built-in pantry and soft close drawers.

A superb 3 piece L-shaped ensuite with twin countertop basins and a discrete shower services the main bedroom with a walk-in robe, while a separate toilet and separate bathroom with a huge tub services the other 3 bedrooms which all feature built-in robes while the study has a built-in bookcase. The home is kept cosy or cool with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and a solid fuel heater then all you need to do is relax and enjoy the lovely rural vistas through the large picture windows.

With 25 acres to spread out on you're going to be very comfortable here. Wonderful outdoor entertaining areas connect to both sides of the home, you can choose between being out on the deck or undercover with laserlite letting light filter through, so you can sit outside and enjoy the bird-life if you like in a large secure house yard where established gardens are tended by a dripper irrigation system.

An oversized double carport adjoins the home as well and a huge barn style shed comes complete with 2 stables, 3 more bays, an office or tack room, a raised landing and storage room and ample parking space for four more vehicles or your caravan or machinery.

This property is well suited to all forms of livestock with 3 paddocks separate from the house yard, all having water from either of the two dams or from troughs. There is also a bore that is not in use that could easily be reinstated. It was installed 8 years ago at a depth of 112'. It has a 6' casing and at the time of installation had an excellent flow rate. The water is reasonably salty, however it could be pumped directly into the dam to make a shandy mix which would then be ideal for garden and stock use. For domestic use 25,000 gallons of water storage is available through 3 tanks. Secure fencing and steel stockyards with a crush are a big plus too.

You couldn't ask for more than your own piece of heaven on a quiet sealed road where the school bus comes past, and you would never know you were only 15 minutes from Bendigo's thriving CBD.
