120 Mont Albert Road

Garfield VIC 3814

If there s a better address in Garfield than Mont Albert Road there simply isn t, especially when we re talking high side of the road. The location of this superb 5-acre property is perfect, far enough from everything to feel that you re in the heart of the country, yet only 3 minutes from the station, 5 minutes from the freeway and 45 minutes from Melbourne CBD on a good run. And speaking of good runs , Tynong race-course isn t much more than a short half-head down the road.
The three-bedroom house, hidden from the road by a stand of magnificent stately trees, was made for cosy family living. Sure, it could use a refresh. But if you re looking for an extra couple of bedrooms, office space or teen retreat, you ve got it. The barn out the back has been converted to offer limitless options for storage, living or whatever takes your fancy. Add to that a massive workshop at the top of the drive, a 45,000-litre in-ground concrete water tank, fenced paddocks and even a little dam, and the prospects for a self-contained, independent lifestyle are genuinely exciting.
By the way, if you re someone with an eye for the future, it might interest you to know that the property technically has two road frontages, with an easement for an extension of Edis Road running along the top of the property. So, if in time the zoning were to change, well, you d be laughing.
