If you've been looking for your perfect escape to the country, look no further.
Set within the rolling green hills of beautiful South Gippsland, this charming country home on 11.5 acres will give you room to breathe and an opportunity to have the lifestyle you've always wanted.
Sitting high on the property to maximise the views, the house features a light and bright living room with cathedral ceilings, exposed timber beams and large windows overlooking the surrounding countryside. A woodfire keeps the house warm and cosy in winter.
The large main bedroom offers incredible views, full ensuite a walk-in robe and walk-in robe. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom with bath. Both have built-in robes and lovely garden views.
Upstairs is a huge loft area which could serve as a 4th bedroom and study, art studio or teenager's retreat.
Keen cooks will appreciate the quality hardwood timber kitchen with walk-in pantry and plenty of cupboard space. The kitchen was previously registered to produce organic preserves for local B&B's, shops and cafés under the gourmet label Hapley Park Pantry and could easily be re-registered for food production.
Outside, a large garage with concrete floor and power contains a workbench along the entire back wall and provides plenty of space for all your projects. There is a parking bay for 3 extra vehicles at the end of the sweeping gravel driveway and a dual entry hay shed to store farm machinery with a roof high enough for a boat or caravan.
The home is surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens with plants that bloom in every season, a large fully fenced vegetable garden and nearby fruit trees. There are 4 tanks for water storage, with the household serviced by a 50,000 litre concrete tank.
A walk through the lush lawns of the park area with European trees and surrounded by soaring Eucalypts, takes you to the orchard containing another 20 mature fruit and nut trees. Enjoy an abundance of homegrown fruit including apples, oranges, mandarins, plums, lemons, grapefruit, feijoas, walnuts, almonds, nectarines and kiwifruit from a huge vine. The fully enclosed chicken coop is positioned in the orchard and further protected by solar-electrified mobile fencing.
The first of two paddocks contains water troughs and a dam with plenty of room for livestock or horses. The rich Gippsland soil and gentle East-facing slope of the second paddock would be perfect for development as a vineyard or for organic vegetable or flower production.
The property is under 2 hours' drive from Melbourne city centre and a convenient 15 minutes from the local cafés, shops and schools of Mirboo North, a picturesque township with a thriving artisan scene.
Satellite Internet and excellent Mobile Reception make working from home a breeze or if you prefer, simply relax on the front deck with a glass of wine, and enjoy the tranquility of the beautiful rolling green hills.
