ESCAPE to Gippsland and be amongst the stunning rolling hills of the Strzelecki Ranges. This easily accessible 106 acre (43.11 hectares) private paradise is only 1-hour from Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Neighbouring Warragul, Leongatha and Korumburra are a quick 30 minute drive.
The gated property greets you with a private, 250-metre long, tree-lined driveway that winds down to a modern, large high-quality constructed and well-insulated colour bond shed. It was built in 2012 and is set up as the perfect weekender. The floorplan consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a laundry/utility room, a spacious combined kitchen, dining and lounge area, and a large 2-car garage.
Other features of the shed include oversized Energy Star rated windows, HVAC split-system, custom wireless electric window blinds, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, hydronic in-floor heating system, tankless instant hot water supply, dishwasher and generous attic storage. Underground power is installed for uninterrupted 360-views, and reliable high-speed wireless internet allows for working remotely and streaming high-definition video. Water is provided via rain water collection into poly tanks totalling 31,000L. Bonus features of the garage include a mechanic's pit, wall shelving, powered garage door, washbasin and its own wood-burning fireplace. Outside of the garage is a concrete parking/clean-out area and an additional equipment shed/workshop with its own power and lighting. At the front of the west-facing shed, there is a full-width limestone patio which is the ideal outdoor space to entertain, relax and enjoy the serenity of distant views, stunning sunsets and star gazing.
With primary access via Ferndale Road and also a southern boundary entrance on Allmans Road, the property totals 106.5 acres (plus an optional 2.2 acres of Crown land) and is approximately 1-km deep. It boasts a wonderfully diverse range of geography and ecosystems comprised of gently undulating pastures, steep hills and dense forests. Tree-lined gullies, established wattles, Blue gums, Red gums, Blackwood trees and giant tree-ferns make this a superbly sheltered property for stock and your own explorations. Of course, wildlife is in full abundance. And for hunters, game deer are common visitors. Notable features of the property are its year-round abundant water supplies which include 4 creeks, waterfalls, 7 spring-fed dams and 5 water troughs. Fencing divides the property into 3 main paddocks where up to 48 steers can comfortably graze the fertile productive land without supplemental feed. Holding yards, a hay shed, cattle crush and cattle run are easily accessible for efficient stock management.
Being over 100 acres, and with multiple large flat areas, there are many options where your future dream home can be built (S.T.C.A.); all with amazing views. This is the perfect hobby farm for a full-time working or retired family.
