45 Soho Road

Drysdale VIC 3222

The home was built by the renowned Merchant Builders in the '70s and has a distinctive mid-century style with its square form, floor to ceiling windows, flat roof and full-length feature pergola leading right out to the property. It's a timeless design that sits perfectly on the land, nestled in amongst the established trees that call this property home.

Split into two distinct wings off a central entry, the south side of the home enjoys a large open plan kitchen & living space (incl. wood fire & split system heating & cooling) with plenty of room for a large dining table. The windows perfectly frame the water views from every angle whilst the kitchen is a chef's delight with tons of natural light, stone benchtops, elec oven, gas stove, dishwasher and a boutique Franke sink. The large master bedroom features built in robes and spacious ensuite with shower, double sink vanity and toilet. A large separate laundry completes the picture with easy access through to the double carport and a large side courtyard with washing line.

The north wing of the house features two additional bedrooms with built in robes, a second bathroom with separate toilet and a spacious lounge/rumpus area, perfect as a kids retreat or as a flexible exercise space.

Externally the home offers plenty of space to stretch out with a fully fenced, in-ground swimming pool, a full-size synthetic grass tennis court, two dams, a machinery shed and another storage shed. Set out into 2 main paddocks, currently used for cattle grazing but equally suitable for equine or mixed-farming pursuits, the gentle sloping property is cleverly designed and enjoys the addition of a supplementary pony paddock.

Other added extras include town water (via a private line), mains power, veggie gardens, an established orchard with apples, quinces, figs, apricots and lemons plus approx 100 000L tank water.

Perfectly located just 5 minutes to Drysdale, 8 minutes to Portarlington (offering the ferry to Melbourne), 15 minutes to Ocean Grove and beaches, 20-25 minutes to Geelong, 1.5 hours up to Melbourne and direct bus service at the end of Soho Road to The Geelong College and leading schools.

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional, blue-chip acreage property with sweeping, panoramic water views to Port Phillip Bay, Mt Eliza and the Heads/Pt Nepean with a timeless house design that will suit a wide variety of country-coastal pursuits.
