Ahh, the serenity! Canola fields surround this hobby farm of 12.96ha just west of Howlong. It's peaceful without being too far from all the necessary services, schools or shopping. Mature trees, thirteen paddocks, a saltbush grove, vegetable garden, cattle yards, and plenty of shedding - perfect if you wanted to become relatively self-sufficient.
Water is plentiful via the four rainwater tanks, the 10meg licensed bores, a dam and a well with a windmill. Power is also boosted with twelve solar panels and a 1.5kw inverter - plenty of roof space to add more solar in the future. In addition to the large vegetable garden, there are numerous fruit trees and a large established olive grove with a great range of many varieties - particularly great for oil production. This could also become an additional source of income.
The house is approx. 150 years old, weatherboard, with Murray pine flooring and high ceilings. Wood heating and evaporative cooling keep the temperature regulated, but large verandahs help the temperature control as well as giving you a great place to sit and relax.
Three generous bedrooms each have built-in robes and there is one bathroom plus an additional shower in the laundry. The galley kitchen is modern and positioned between the dining area and the enclosed outdoor entertainment area. This is perfect for country living as the back verandah is a bright, enclosed sunroom with plenty of windows where you can enjoy your dinner at the end of a summer's day with no flies annoying you.
The options for the use of the sheds are unending. Animal husbandry, shearing, olive oil bottling, old car garage, workshop, storage - and the list goes on.
Sure, the house may need some finishing touches done but, for this price, where are you going to get this much flat land with a residence and so much shedding?! And there's the opportunity of adding an income stream, or two, to get it paid off earlier.
Come one, come all but do it fast.
