Last Listing description (August 2023)
For those looking to shed the inner city/suburban life in exchange for the wide-open spaces that only country life living can bring. Then how does 10.9 fertile and magnificent acres with a sprawling home and excellent shedding sound? Sounds good? This property is private and set well back from the road and away from prying eyes.
One outstanding feature among many is the surrounding views of the Jeeralang and Strzelecki Ranges that will accompany you as you wander over this easily managed near level acreage. This drought resistant the property is connected to an ever-reliable town water supply.
Your expectations on shedding will easily be met. The machinery shed measures 9m x 6m with concrete floor and power connected. The second is a tall shed measuring 7m x 6m and had been used as the hay shed. The 3rd shed measures a whopping 12mx 8m. The fencing is good and has been set up to manage cattle, horses or sheep and had extensive electric fencing installed. A holding paddock leads to a lane way providing access to the cattle yards, loading race and crush. All paddocks are interconnected so shuffling of stock from one paddock to another is easy.
Originally built by local identity Mr. Keith Williams of "Keith Williams" Real Estate this was his own personal and private residence for himself and his family, so there were no cutting of corners with his build. The age of the home is rumoured to be somewhere around the 1970's when the classic Aussie T.V show called "The Rovers" first graced our televisions.
And just like "Skippy" the Holden Monaro, Flares, and Bell sleeve's the unchanged interior is an absolute classic. Its retro and its 70's through and through folks. From original light fittings, original kitchen cabinetry, doors and trims, decorative cornice, window pelmets, even the independent lights over the bedroom suite are as original as they come. None the less this home has retained its honesty, integrity and above all else its originality.
Bragging rights are awarded to the 3 very large semi open, family friendly living spaces, with one featuring a cosy open wood fire. Unimpeded light enters the home through large timber windows. And not so long ago a North facing aluminium sunroom was added. There are 3 large bedrooms, a large, tiled floor mud room, with a toilet and loads of storage like you have never seen.
There are some hints of modern inclusions, like the 2-year-old reverse cycle a/c (approx. 3 years since installed) privacy, night and day roll down blinds, recently installed dishwasher -12 months ago. Remote operated roller doors for the 8m x 7m 2 bay brick garage were also an added addition.
A very comfortable, neat and tidy home that any family could just move right on in and enjoy. If you have a vision for a large home on stunning acreage with permanent water and close to all the services of the Latrobe Valley, then we suggest you come take a look.
AGENTS NOTES: By all accounts, this is an awesome solidly built home, it's in great condition and can be lived in right away. However, if you are seeking a home that has ALL the modern conveniences of today's modern-day era, then you may want to by-pass this one, but with a little work this home could be easily updated.
