Cheshunt VIC 3678

Editorial:

Cheshunt the village in the King Valley about 55 kilometres south from Wangaratta has become a noted destination for wineries (about fifteen within easy access), a growing visitor economy and emerging food culture and it acts as the gateway to the Alpine National Park.
With its thriving local visitor economy and scenic appeal, the local community is growing with many people from families to professional couples finding it a great lifestyle destination.
The home and acreage form an ideal getaway in a scenic and distinctive property of some historic interest.
The holding with a total area of 1.8 hectares or about five acres, comprising part freehold and part adjoining very long term leases over portions of an old road and streamside reserves provide a mix of pastured land, in fact five paddocks, with an irrigation system installed, together with the established garden surrounds of the home.
Positioned within this portion is the quite striking two storey timber home with an area of about 190 square metres which has been extended, occupied, furnished stylishly and enjoyed by the vendors for thirty plus years.
It sits on the site of an original cottage dating back to the 1900s.
There is one main upstairs bedroom with ensuite, an office and library, with each having balconies that give great exposure to light and the surrounding views, two more bedrooms downstairs, plus extensive living and sitting areas, with an effective timbered kitchen with a butlers panty and laundry adjoining.
The property holds a two megalitre Stock & Domestic water right off the King River which is a pump equipped and used for garden and paddock watering and a rooftop sprinkler system.
This property is bounded on two sides by the King River and the Stony Creek.
There is a three point five metre deep well in the garden area which provides a source of very high quality water from an aquifer with both water systems integrated to house and garden.
Within the garden area is a listed historic Quercus Robur (Oak) tree that is recorded as being over one hundred years of age.
In the adjoining area is a solid timber and steel stable block and storage building with an area of 260 square metres.
The vendors had in mind converting this building for accommodation purposes as it already has a toilet and shower, or even for a restaurant purpose.
There are excellent telecommunications facilities that favour remote working.
Old Bridge House at Cheshunt offers an idyllic lifestyle in a quiet rural outlook location for a family or couple with an exceptional scenic aspect.
Access to the property is via a short lane running off the main bitumen road to the electric gated entry, while the centrepiece of the local community the Cheshunt General Store is only about 450 metres distant.
