40 Deering Avenue

Badger Creek VIC 3777

The abundant living space opens to the deck in multiple locations, and a newly installed Coonara wood heater gives a welcoming ambiance during the colder months. A new split system has also been installed, making for all year round comfort. Beautiful wood flooring enhances the textures internally, while a generous study nook with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves looks out to the garden and is a lovely spot to work.

Down the hall, a resort-style bathroom is a showstopper; the bath sits perfectly in the window offering a magical place to soak, destress, and relax!

Accommodation-wise, three generously sized bedrooms all have lovely garden views, again enhancing the indoor-outdoor feel. The master bedroom is spacious, with an ensuite and dressing area and a recently installed spilt system.

The second home is a fantastic asset and gives the potential for additional income or independent living for family members. Located a good distance away from the main home, both spaces maintain their privacy and independence. Here, a large deck surrounds most of the home; a wonderful space to enjoy the outdoor views and maximise the living area. Inside, the big windows give a sense of space, with the generous living and kitchen area flooded with light. Mains water connection, wood heater, and split-system air conditioning make this a comfortable space year-round. Down the hall is a large, neat bathroom and two good-size bedrooms with built-in wardrobes.

As both homes are independently rated and metered, it's easy to use this second house as a source of income. With Healesville Sanctuary and many Yarra Valley wineries in close proximity, the attractions for short-term accommodation are plentiful. Opportunities for long term rental or multi-generational living also abound.

Various outbuildings located on the property can also present options for further development and of
particular interest might be the property's original home - a character-filled structure located near the second house. With electricity, water, and septic connected, this third building is currently in use as a workshop, and the potential exists for an artist studio or even more accommodation with renovation. (STCA)

The property also includes multiple carports and an undercover secure shipping container. Outside features are many and include a fully-fenced veggie garden, large chook shed, hobby orchard with forty diverse trees (map available) including a huge, espaliered cherry and three large water tanks. Two large fenced paddocks, with opportunity for a third, are wonderful for horse owners or hobby farmers, with many shade trees and undulating land.

A perfect weekend retreat or permanent home, with a drive of an hour from Melbourne (approx), it is also an easy drive to Pakenham and the Gippsland region. Hurry, properties such as this are rare to come onto the market and represent the opportunity for a wonderful lifestyle!
