Shelbourne VIC 3515

Thirteen paddocks, including the house yard with a five bedroom home, occupies almost 70 acres with great shedding for all your needs, stables, hayshed and garage / workshop, this property has ample water, great horse facilities, excellent lifestyle possibilities and also farming potential. It is just the perfect place to live the good life and raise your kids or grandkids right.

The home has everything you need to keep your whole family comfortable and you can rest assured it is as solid as it is safe, with a steel frame, on concrete stumps. The kitchen is modern with colonial stylings, white raised panel cabinetry provides loads of storage space, with a nice expanse of benchtop workspace above. A freestanding 5 burner stainless steel stove in an original fireplace sets the tone, and a servery to the lounge adorned with timber fretwork, completes it.

The dining area adjoining the kitchen shares the timber look vinyl plank flooring. It has walls of windows on three sides so that you can take in the magnificent views in comfort all year round, as you dine. For those times when you want to enjoy alfresco, an undercover elevated timber deck on the rear of the home couldn't be more perfect.

The lounge is very large and houses a huge freestanding wood heater, there is another smaller solid fuel heater set into a fireplace but the current owners have never needed it. A second living area or rumpus room at the other end of the house has built-in storage and direct access to three of the five bedrooms, two of which have step-in-robes, as does the master bedroom which has a four piece ensuite as well, and one of the three split systems in the house. A nice clean three piece bathroom, where the shower features a rainfall showerhead and hand held sprayer, services the rest of the home.

When you step outside, the front and rear hardwood decked verandahs offer a choice of sheltered or sunny spots to sit and immerse yourself in the 360 degree panoramic views taking in Mount Alexander and Mount Tarengower, all the way around to the Pyrenees ranges to the west. The elevated setting is very pretty, very neat and tidy, and very well maintained. It really is homely and family orientated with a secure house yard within which there are easy care, low maintenance gardens and a good dog yard.

The property is on a nice all weather road and has good access for large vehicles. The land features rich red, fertile, granitic loam soil just below the surface, offering good drainage for excellent growing. It has been regularly fertilised and when it was sown down to pasture, produced about 60 round bales of oaten hay. An ample water supply is provided through two big deep dams with excellent catchment, which this owner tells us, have never ran dry, along with 7 rain water tanks with a total capacity of 150,000 litres for domestic use.

The property is divided into 13 paddocks including the house yard. There are 10 holding paddocks, of which 3 are large roaming paddocks, and 3 are colt yards. The colt yards are 6 strand with three electric wires to a height of 1650mm. The property is however predominantly fenced for horses with 90% of the fencing being double electric and 3 strand plain wire fences. There are 5 horse shelters and all paddocks have tank water provided. There are also 3 paddocks fenced for sheep. There is nothing to do but move in and enjoy this very practical horse property.

Shedding includes really well made 16 X 12m stables with power, lights and concrete floor, a tie up rail and wash bay, a tack room and a feed room, and 4 ply lined, dirt stables each with a day yard with panels. Also a 6 bay garage which includes an extensive workshop with lights, power, steel benches and water connected.

Considering that the setting is so idyllic and the panoramic outlook is so calming and refreshing, it is hard to believe this wonderful escape is just 12 minutes from the shops and amenities of Kangaroo Flat. School bus pick up is just at the front and because of its handy location it will appeal to all those with a connection to Bendigo, Maldon or Castlemaine. You are most welcome to contact the agent for further details and to arrange an inspection.
