Maffra VIC 3860

With stunning views across rural fields towards the foothills of the Victorian Alps, this charming weatherboard cottage offers privacy, an invigorating lifestyle and country escape in a tranquil rural pocket of Maffra. The property is set within 2500m2 (over acre) of serene low maintenance gardens showcasing mature trees, ornamental scrubs, numerous fruit trees and raised vegie beds. Ideally placed to enjoy Gippsland's rural and coastal lifestyle, only a 5 minute drive to the centre of town and only 2 hours' drive to Melbourne on the M1.

Boasting 3 metre ceilings throughout, a classic verandah entry accesses the cottage through the original leadlight front door and an expansive central hallway leads through to the heart of the home. A spacious open plan lounge/dining zone with timber flooring, period pendant lighting and ornate plaster ceilings centres on a cosy wood heater beneath a timber mantel. Delicious meals are a joy to prepare for guests and family in the country cook's kitchen comprising timber benchtops, a 900mm wide Smeg electric oven and gas cooktop, dishwasher, ample storage and a large walk in pantry.

Full height glazing maximises sweeping outdoor vistas from the living zone, with sliding doors opening to a sizeable deck that is the perfect setting for an evening wine or sunset dinner. Step down and meander along one of the many paths to a magical garden oasis of lush green lawn flanked by a variety of mature exotic trees and shrubs that feature flowering camellias and bulbs through the seasons.
