This magnificent property located just ten minutes from Bairnsdale is set on 13 acres with northerly views to mountain ranges. The stunning Federation Style Homestead was built to exacting standards and oozes charm of a bygone era with all the modern amenities for today's living.Originally constructed by a master builder for his daughter, no expense was spared. The exterior of the home was cloned from a period home in the nearby township of Lindenow. Built from 100 year old recycled bricks from a property in Queen Street Melbourne and having bull nose verandahs, the period theme is near authentic. As you step inside the continuity continues with 12' ceilings, decorative cornices and plaster work, ornate ceiling roses, picture rails, high skirting boards, feature architraves and polished timber floor boards. 100 year old floor boards from a pub originally built in 1878 in Geelong have also been used to create the kitchen cupboards while modern conveniences including central heating, split system heating and cooling and a large solid fuel heater make the home cosy all year round. The home consists of easy family living with formal entrance hall, formal lounge/sitting room, huge open plan kitchen/dining/family room that opens onto the decked out door entertainment area, huge rumpus room, four bedrooms with ensuite, family bathroom, three toilets and a well appointed laundry. Rounding off this property is a 9m x 7 m barn style garage, stock yards and ramp, 15,000 gallons of rain water storage and a recently constructed bore for stock and domestic use reticulated to 5 paddocks, 2 holding pens and house garden.
