Description

Set on a quiet road on the north facing foothills of Barwon Downs, this scenic property of 18.9 hectares backs onto the Otway National Park and offers the ultimate rural lifestyle opportunity.

The property is also supported by a substantial passive income, generated from a Telecommunication Tower and Mobile Blackspot antenna colocation leases. The tower and telco equipment compounds are strategically located in the bottom corner of the property on approximately 220 square metres of land with a designated access track.

On an elevated site, the stylish modern 3 bedroom/2-bathroom Colorbond clad home has been built with attention to energy efficient design principles and to capitalise on the beautiful views extending almost as far as the eye can see.

The OPL area is light and spacious with tiled floors throughout and features commercial double-glazed windows and doors to take in the views. The designer kitchen includes glass splashbacks and Essastone bench tops, self-close drawer cabinetry and cupboards including a pantry storage cupboard, Miele dishwasher, Bosch stove and gas cooktop and an Insinkerator food waste system.

A clever design feature is the built-in study nook with access to the kitchen and living space allowing for email and web browsing to be undertaken while things are happening in the heart of the home.

The main bedroom has a lovely light ensuite and access to a spacious WIR while the other bedrooms have large mirror fronted BIRs. All bedrooms have modern block out and sheer blinds to manage the light and sun.

Thermostatically controlled electric Nobo heaters are located in all the bedrooms and hallways with timers on those in the main bedroom, ensuite and hallways and a Clean Air wood heater and Daikin Reverse Cycle Inverter air conditioner servicing the OPL area. With solar HWS, and thermal energy efficient design, additional heating and cooling options are used sparingly.

The home includes plenty of storage space with built in cupboards and a separate internal storeroom and external mudroom.

The ornamental deciduous tree lined driveway (stunning in the Autumn and Spring) leads into a thoughtfully designed resilient garden and orchard which surrounds the house and complements the views.

As for the house, the farm has been developed with attention to detail. On highly productive sandy loam with a small area of heavier soil at the base of the property, the farm is divided into 10 paddocks and an efficient service laneway with all new internal fencing (including electric). Cattle yards, including additional holding yards, crush and loading ramp are situated just off the driveway enabling easy handling and access for loading stock.

The property has two dams, a pet enclosure, a hay/calf shed, a large 4-bay machinery shed (containing a built-in office), with concrete floor and 2 phase power providing all the requirements of an operating farm. Two 98,000 litre rainwater tanks provide water for the house and garden and serve to complement the water supply from the 2 dams to stock troughs located throughout the farm.

Price includes a WIWO arrangement with respect to purposefully selected furniture and farm/garden equipment, this property is perfect for someone to simply move in and reap the rewards.

Note: Access to the property is via Loves Road from Birregurra - Forrest Road.
