All reasonable offers considered!

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of the Otway region, this charming aluminium weatherboard home offers a tranquil retreat on a sprawling 10-acre property. The enchanting scenery includes breath-taking 180-degree views that sweep over the lush Otway Ranges, culminating in the majestic sight of Mount Elephant in the distance. It's a vista that can truly take your breath away.

The heart of the home lies in its north-facing living and dining area, strategically designed with ample windows to seamlessly blend indoor comfort with the expansive outdoor beauty. Adjacent to this delightful space is a well-appointed kitchen, boasting generous countertops with a warm and inviting tone. Cooking is a joy with the included 900 cooktop and wall oven, making meal preparation a seamless experience.

As the colder months roll in, a cosy wood fire beckons in the living area, creating a warm haven on those wintry nights and enhancing the overall ambiance of the home, and with a split system and ducted heating throughout all rooms, you will always be comfortable. The layout includes one bedroom complete with a built-in robe, while the other two bedrooms offer plenty of space for personalisation.

Step outside onto the amazing west-facing deck, an idyllic spot for entertaining friends and family. Imagine gatherings under the open sky, with the setting sun casting a warm glow over the picturesque surroundings. Children and pets have ample room to frolic on the lush grass area, creating a haven of both activity and relaxation.

For your practical needs, the property is conveniently located 15 minutes from Lavers Hill, half an hour by car from Colac, and 45 minutes from Apollo Bay. And although you're embraced by the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, the bustling city of Melbourne is a mere 2 hours and 45 minutes away, offering the best of both worlds.

If you wish to settle in and work from home, this comfortable house is very well equipped to support you. The NBN is efficient, mobile phone coverage is excellent, and each time you look up from your work while sitting at your desk in the third bedroom / study, you will be captivated by the spectacular view. Or you can simply take your laptop out onto the deck and work in the open air, to the sound of birdsong and the wind in the trees.

When it comes to places of natural beauty in proximity to this home, you are within easy reach of many: the Otway Fly treetop walk is approximately 5 km away, nature walks to Hopetoun Falls, Triplet Falls and Beauchamp Falls are just a short drive, and the beautiful Californian Redwood plantation is 10 minutes by car. So there's plenty of beautiful natural environments to explore with your friends and family when they visit. The Great Ocean Road also beckons: the nearest beach is Castle Cove, approximately 35 minutes by car, a route which takes you through areas of the atmospheric Otway National Park.

A charming feature of this property is a private patch of rainforest in one corner of the land. Climbing down a small hill at the far end of the property, you enter a gully with a creek running through it. A canopy of tall trees and ferns allows for dappled sunlight and shade, giving this little bit of the Otways forest an air of enchantment.

This inviting three-bedroom, home on 10 acres captures the essence of country living while providing modern comforts. With its awe-inspiring views, inviting living spaces, and a perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living, it presents a remarkable opportunity to embrace the idyllic charm of regional Victoria. You may choose to make this your permanent home; or you may like to have it as the ideal getaway location for yourself or the perfect place to start your own Airbnb, maybe both... the choice is yours.
