Sandon VIC 3462

If you have an idea; an image in your mind of the type of rural lifestyle you want but haven't yet found an established property to fulfill your dreams, then this conveniently located, exceptionally versatile 12.9 hectare (32 acre) property is the ideal blank canvas upon which to bring your dreams to life. The landscape is quintessential Aussie bush towering eucalypts, big skies, open spaces and views that stretch forever. With sealed road frontage and a roadside boundary of native timber, the property comprises acreage that is flat to gently rising away from the road. With full boundary fencing in good order and divided into three main paddocks, one with a large dam, the land is predominantly open making it ideal for horses, cattle, alpacas, hobby farming and all manner of recreational and lifestyle pursuits.

At the midway point of the property and privately set amongst a stand of stately gum trees sits the 1970s era weatherboard homestead boasting numerous period features including timber-lined ceilings and wall paneling. Currently hosting two spacious bedrooms with built in robes, the interior's flexible floorplan and generous proportions allows for easy repurposing of any of the home's multiple and expansive living and dining spaces into further bedrooms if desired. Neat, clean and practical, the laminate kitchen with wood-fire stove overlooks a covered alfresco verandah. Centrally located is a functional bathroom with vanity, bath, shower, separate toilet and adjoining laundry with external access. There is no denying that the interior is tired, but structurally sound in all facets, the home presents comfortable living as is, with unlimited scope for cosmetic enhancement that will not merely freshen her up but deliver the contemporary rural lifestyle to suit your individual style and needs.

Additional features include slow combustion heating, a bank of 12 solar panels feeding back to the grid, garden-set gazebo and two large concrete water tanks for domestic use. Adjacent to the home, a 6m x 6m fully lined Gal shed with mud room, kitchen bench with sink, separate room with wall cabinetry lends itself to home office/studio space, or conversion to a comfortable granny flat that would make this a 3-4 bedroom property. Beyond the home and stretching towards the rear boundary, the property opens up again to further grazing dotted with stands of timber and shade trees. A single garage, extra height open bay carport and 12m x 7.5m double bay gal/steel shed with sliding doors and water tank offers excellent plant/machinery/feed/tack storage plus room for stables to complete the infrastructure.
