Wattle Bank VIC 3995

The inspiring property is perfectly positioned in a tightly held and much sought-after low-density rural residential area in an extremely private and secluded setting in the countryside yet within only minutes from the heart of Inverloch and our famous beaches and the commercial and retail hub of Wonthaggi. The introduction to the home creates a sense of expectation as you enter the long drive through the established native trees up to the wonderful rural retreat. The substantial home offers outstanding accommodation within the rural landscape, and is discreet and very comfortable. On entry to the home a soaring skillion roof line and cleverly placed clerestory windows in the main living dining and kitchen area create ambiance and allow for extra sunlight and warmth during the cooler months whilst keeping out the harsh sunlight in summer. The smart kitchen which is the heart of the home features striking bench tops, high-quality appointments, and bespoke cabinetry whilst the indoor dining space close by flows easily to the cosy living room which has a huge picture window providing a superb visual link to the landscape. A large solid fuel heater adds country-style character and ensures comfort in the winter months. There is an easy link through expansive glass sliders to a fabulous north-facing undercover outdoor room with a full kitchen, fire pit, wired-in sound system, and ambiance lighting in the surrounding native setting. What a wonderful space for entertaining in absolute privacy. A second living room/studio at the front entrance of the home adds to the flexibility of the accommodation and also enjoys a serene outlook into the gorgeous garden setting. There is a brilliant division between the private and social spaces with the private accommodation in the main home extending to five bedrooms serviced by three bathrooms, separate toilet facilities and a massive laundry. Other features of the home include reverse cycle air-conditioning, easy care laminate flooring in the living areas, soft carpets and ceiling fans in the bedrooms and a spa bath and bidet in the parents retreat whilst storage is more than adequately provided for throughout the home. Other improvements on the property include a huge 16m x 15m steel frame high clearance double bay shed with mezzanine and workshop with 2-phase power, hay shed, cattle yards and race, fox proof chicken coop, dog enclosure, mains water supply, huge water tank plus a large dam with viewing deck, troughs in the paddocks and excellent fencing. The property would be highly desirable to like-minded families seeking a rural/coastal lifestyle and experience within a very special property.
