In the picturesque rolling hills of South Gippsland, on a quiet country road just minutes from the township of Mirboo North you will be greeted by a charming presence as you turn in the drive.
"Tarwin Lea" is the original homestead block of a greater landholding that once upon a time was the whole surrounding valley.
The established London Plane trees stand graciously up the sweeping drive and you cannot help but know that there is a special place to call home here.
60 magnificent productive acres. A perfect mix of flats, undulating to rolling grazing country. Well sheltered, this property has water security with several natural springs, dams, and soaks on the property. Excellent fencing, with 7 paddocks (approx.), including hay paddocks and central stock yards for ease of stock management along with assorted shedding including 2 hay sheds and a double garage at the house.
"Tarwin Lea", is ideal for all cattle endeavours, fattening, breeding or as is at present running dairy young stock with the ability to cut both silage and hay.
The weatherboard home with its sweeping verandas holds much charm nestled in its very own garden of Eden with views across the valley. Originally built in 1945 the home has had some updates over time, yet still retains the charm that only these much-loved country homes of yesteryear do.
