Need a sea change? Wanting to get back to nature? This could be your new home!

When you enter the driveway and pass through the wrought iron gates, stop, take a moment - you will immediately start to feel the calmness that this property exuberates. Bird life and live-in fauna are plenteous in the low maintenance park-like gardens. Take a walk through the spacious orchard, pick a mandarin, and let the captivating peacefulness lull you. This is a one of a kind, an alluring property that you will not want to leave.
This 31 acre rural property represents an unparalleled opportunity to caretake an historical legacy whilst nurturing valued traditions for future generations.
There are two buildings on the property. The primary residence is a superbly built home where there are two bedrooms on the second level with two further bedrooms in the cottage ideally suited to independent family, visitors or B&B guests.
A landscaping plan has established a comprehensive selection of trees throughout the property whilst a delightful garden shades the lawns of the home.
A distinctly early 20th century aesthetic is well-suited to both the location and the home's warm and inviting ambience. A prodigious orchard, where organic produce includes apples, pomegranate, citrus, stone fruit, grapes and berries with two dams providing a secure source of water for the entire property.
A very large work / machinery shed are as expected on a property of this calibre.

This is the first time this home has been offered for sale, and it is not to be missed - a rural lifestyle close enough to Melbourne to enjoy on weekends and holidays. Perfect for the person wanting to establish a B & B, or shut the gates and keep it all for yourself. Lease out the paddocks / sell the fruit / make hay / graze livestock, whatever you have in mind to make this home yours, it is here.
