Just a short drive from the thriving rural hamlet of Inverleigh, 24 acres of riverside grazing land overlooked by a grand sized homestead offers that peaceful tree change existence.
Situated just 25 minutes to central Geelong & the Ring Road, Melbourne's CBD is just over 1 hour. The property sits on the outskirts of the quaint township which remains underdeveloped with an emerging community of eateries including local pub, cafe's and award winning restaurant. Further facilities such as large chain supermarkets are located nearby in Bannockburn.
The property's home sits close to the road among a tree lined house yard also containing a number of storage sheds & outbuildings (including a small self-contained cottage). The gated drive leads to a large portico or carport at the home's entrance with double solid timber doors indicating the grandness of the home's proportions. Set on a hill overlooking the entire land holding the home's rear elevation allows a central outdoor room to become the focus of the design and links to almost every space inside. Huge proportions and abundant light and spaciousness fill every room including carpeted formal living, connecting kitchen/ dining/casual living zone, 3rd rumpus or games room (complete with wet bar) and 4 enormously sized bedrooms.
The kitchen is placed primely to take in the rural views. At the core of the home and sized to cater for the country life with a modern design, quality Chef appliances, endless bench space, storage cabinetry and walk in pantry allow you to cater for extensive entertaining, with direct double sliding door access to the deck. Entertaining is only enhanced by the games room with full wet bar, which also accesses the deck.
The monstrous master is placed within its own wing offering a huge ensuite (with double shower and twin vanity), accessed by a walk through robe while an adjoining room could be used as a dressing room, study or even nursery. Glass sliding doors offer a link to outdoors via the protected alfresco room.
The 3 remaining bedrooms are equally as huge, with built in robes, floating timber floors and warm northerly aspect. Ceiling fans throughout the home assist with ducted heating and cooling. Wet areas in this section of the home include laundry, large powder room and enormous family bathroom.
Beneath the home a basement style room at ground level offers a flexible space suitable for large home office, fifth bedroom or storage area. Further exposed space beneath the deck is also suitable for storage.
Water storage on the property is immense. A number of large tanks are connected to the house with 3 dams servicing 3 separately fenced paddocks. The winding Leigh River forms the southern border of the property with direct gated access.
