Those who yearn for a rural lifestyle with enough land to enjoy freedom and fresh air, collect eggs from their own chooks and harvest fresh veggies are sure to love this renovated cottage near the Kalgan River.
It's on a pretty 6,216sqm – that's a shade over 1½ acres, making it a manageable block presenting opportunity for various uses without demanding too much work.
The beautiful Kalgan River area has easy access to fishing, canoeing and riverside walks, and this highly desirable property will attract city dwellers looking for a tree change or farmers wanting a weekender near the coast.
Tall gums line the sealed driveway leading from the road to the house, which sits in a cleared, grassy paddock with a few native trees for shelter and character.
It takes in an all-round rural outlook to bush and farmland and a view over neighbouring olive groves at the back.
This is a comfortable home sporting a new white kitchen, shower room and laundry, and modern flooring, tiling and blinds.
There's a wood fire in the lounge, where glass doors open onto a sizeable undercover entertaining area and a nearby open-air barbecue pit.
One bedrooms is a good-sized double and the other a queen.
Impressive external features include a powered storeroom or hobby room that could double as a guest room, a generous paved lean-to with power for DIY projects, and a freestanding shed with extra space for stowing the ride-on mower.
Along the back, taking in the morning sun as well as the leafy view, is a long veranda – perfect for relaxed brunches.
Water is plentiful from a rainwater tank, there's a solar hot water system, and the property is fenced and private.
When the city calls, it's a pretty 20-minute commute away, although Great Southern Grammar, the Kalgan Tea Rooms and Thai restaurant are just a few minutes up the road.
