A different LIFESTYLE - FARMLET property within the boundary of the hub city of the Goulburn Valley.
Seven Creeks Homestead
The now 14-hectare property was originally owned by the renowned Furphy family. Today, the property and charming homestead still provide a quiet oasis located on the banks of the Sevens Creek and ~4km from the CBD.
Rebuilt in 1985, the expansive Victorian-style homestead is designed to capture the serenity of the natural bushland, extensive gardens and picturesque wetlands. The garden, lake/wetlands are home to a myriad of native bird species.
The spacious homestead, with a wrap-around veranda, provides stunning views from all rooms. The house exudes fine craftsmanship throughout with high ceilings, ornate ceiling roses/cornices, bespoke solid timber doors and windows - some with antique lead lighting. It boasts a large living/entertainment area, a formal dining room, expansive games room, 4 very spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an underground cellar. The house also features two open fireplaces, while central gas heating services the whole house. A reverse cycle air conditioner is located in the living room.
The rear courtyard and expansive lawns lend themselves to alfresco dining as well as weddings and events. The grounds are mainly watered by an extensive underground reticulated system that is computer-driven.
Town water, gas, NBN, sewerage and garbage collection (at the entrance gates) is provided by Greater Shepparton Council.
Sheds, stables, paddocks and yards offer the opportunity to embrace a rural lifestyle and agricultural persuites.
Shepparton is a vibrant multi-cultural city, boasting excellent education and health services as well as multiple/varied employment opportunities. This diverse rural metropolis offers affordable housing and a relaxed lifestyle, all within an easy 2 hour drive (or train) of Melbourne.
Shepparton provides all the trappings of city living WITHOUT the huge price tags and traffic!
