NORTH EAST FAMILY COMPOUND IS UNIQUE RECREATION AND ACTIVITY SPACE ON ACREAGE - INCLUDES FIVE BEDROOM HOMESTEAD
A unique family compound on acreage in the desirable lifestyle location of the King Valley in north east Victoria is on the market for sale at $809,000.
Elders Real Estate in Wangaratta holds the listing for the property which is located at 15 Upper Carboor Road at Carboor in the King Valley.
On the western edge of the noted Mount Buffalo landmark which stands as a backdrop, this property has a land area of 12.04 hectares or 30 acres.
It is located equ-distant from the strong regional centres of Bright, Beechworth and Wangaratta with Milawa the nearby noted wine and food village providing all popular needs is within easy reach.
The property has been developed as a family lifestyle centre for their active participation and enjoyment by the matriarch of the family who now finds her children and grandchildren spread widely with many in the Albury Wodonga location.
So, she is offering this fondly held property in its prime with an intention to relocate.
What was an original small brick home on the property has been renovated and extended in weatherboard construction to provide five bedrooms plus additional light and bright living areas, even an office space.
The area under roof is about thirty squares.
There is an extensive central kitchen, a large bathroom with the building having extensive veranda areas on all boundaries.
A notable feature is the home theatre fitted with tiered theatre-style seating for ten persons and a large television screen.
In addition, a separate alfresco building added close to the house offers additional recreation or activity space and is adjoined by an outdoor kitchen.
Both structures are linked by a walkway while between the two is the solar heated in ground swimming pool and multiple pond water features.
The buildings are set in lush, landscaped gardens with generous areas provided for children to play.
The property includes an eighteen panel, or 6 kw solar array, so the mains power connection is supplemented, and energy costs are controlled.
The acreage has been left untouched as part pasture, part forested with numerous walking trails or riding tracks.
The vendor says it has proven ideal for motor biking or go-karting and these areas are effectively undeveloped but could be used to create a grazing or similar purpose.
There is a collection of new and original shedding on the property which in its valley location affords grand views over the adjoining King Valley alpine and high country.
Elders Real Estate's selling agent Michael Everard says there is strong evidence that many city families are wanting to relocate to the country and this property has established its value over a long period as a family base for activities and indoor and outdoor enjoyment, even relaxation.
Michael says, "and it is offered for sale for $809,000 or less than the median house value of many suburban residential properties, so 15 Upper Carboor Road Carboor could give many families a seamless transfer to a country lifestyle, and it is in a great location within easy reach of the premier towns and villages of the north east".
