59 Shuter Avenue

Greendale VIC 3341

The perfect choice for a tree change lifestyle, weekender or perhaps a bed and breakfast (STCA), this fabulous home is located in the tiny hamlet of Greendale. Often referred to as the 'Toorak' of the Moorabool Shire, it has also served as the backdrop to the 2006 Hollywood movie 'Charlottes Web'. The 120-year-old Greendale Country Pub and general store is the hub around which the close-knit community gather, and renowned for its good food and country hospitality.

The relaxed vibe features in the generously flowing floor plan which consists of entrance foyer and inviting living room with wood fire heater. Off this space is the restful master bedroom with BIR's and barn doors to the ensuite which highlights a bidet/toilet and large shower with the luxury of a blower to dry off.

The huge family/dining room with beautiful oak floors, split system and another wood fire, surrounds the custom-built kitchen with shaker style cabinetry, stone benchtops, Bosch induction hotplate, Miele Oven and Miele dishwasher so the cook is never left out of the conversation. The four remaining bedrooms, all with BIR'S, are accessed off this space, as is the family bathroom and laundry.

Sliding doors off the family room allows for guests to spill out onto the alfresco spaces. Designed to make the most of the home's leafy outlook, the property has multiple outdoor entertaining areas to sit and soak up the serenity, the beautiful sunsets and fabulous scenery. Or perhaps dine and relax with a drink on the upper deck; spin yarns around the flames of the fire pit seating area below; or admire the bordering bushland whilst you enjoy a drink on the deck at the water's edge.

But that's not all... Separate to the house and alfresco areas of this pretty-as-a-picture haven, you will find a converted stable housing a gym space with rubber matting. Off this space is another fabulous area to entertain, or for teenagers (or big kids!) to retreat and spill out to the manicured outdoor surrounds.

Other important features are solar panels with 5KW (approx.) inverter to keep down your power bills, double glazing to most of the home; Eco Alliance electric heat pump hot water service; ducted LPG gas heating, separate two-car concrete and powered colorbond garage/workshop; wood/storage shed, three numbered entrance gates including auto solar front gates; security cameras back to your mobile; external and internal fencing; chicken coop; ample water supply (approx. 100,000 litres); two dams and vegetable garden. The home has also been fitted with smart technology throughout. Star Link satellite provides excellent internet service.

Horses can be viewed from all around the property, and the entrance gates make it easily accessible to horse floats. The Wombat Forest is at the end of the street for long bushwalks or horse riding.

If you feel you must leave, this fabulous lifestyle or getaway is only one hour to the CBD, and an easy train ride from Ballan and Bacchus Marsh.
