Enjoying an elevated position overlooking the 6.57ha (16.2 acres) and sitting within an established garden filled with mature trees including a variety of maples and cypress, this fastidiously presented, light filled home offers the new buyer a myriad of options to capitalise on into the future. Bordered by the Wombat State Forest on two sides and the seasonal Blue Creek along the front boundary, with several paddocks ideal for a range of animal husbandry plus over an acre of fully fenced orchard (including cherries, apples, walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, mulberries, almonds, pears and pepper trees and a range of berries), veggie gardens and approximately 200 Peony plants, this property is really one out of the box.

The expansive homestead with polished wormy chestnut floorboards and high ceilings throughout comprises large entry hall, generously proportioned entertainer's kitchen (butler's pantry & laundry) with adjacent casual dining and family living area (that is warmed by a solid fuel wood heater and reverse cycle split system air conditioner) which opens onto a covered, outdoor alfresco deck spilling onto the lawn area. A separate formal dining room alternatively an ideal study/home office, 4 super-sized bedrooms (all with reverse cycle split system air conditioning & ensuites, 3 of which are in a separate wheelchair friendly wing with kitchenettes and opening onto covered outdoor decks with ramps into the garden, ideal to potentially use for AirBnb purposes) plus a separate family bathroom.

Other features include 24 metre x 12 metre shed with a man cave plus workshop, storage rooms and bathroom facilities, another 9 metre x 7 metre farm machinery shed, bore with 10mg licence and a 125,000lt rainwater tank. The home is well constructed with all external and many internal double brick walls, has an Asthma Association approved HRV roof ventilation system, double glazed windows and doors. The sensibly set out open space, low maintenance lawn area around the house include a cricket pitch and a stone-walled tranquility garden.
