Last Listing description (March 2024)
Encircled by captivating park-like gardens with towering manna gums and the occasional resident koala, this enchanting 1920s weatherboard farmhouse epitomises the quintessential home among the gum trees on a subdividable (STCA) 1.3-acre allotment.
Built in 1926 by Jack Joyner, who also constructed the Merricks General Store, the home hails back to the time Merricks was predominantly a fruit-growing area and supported by a railway. The Merricks General Wine Store and Rowanberry are the only buildings still surviving in Merricks from the period.
Beyond a centrepiece 10 metre date palm, the residence is defined by hardwood Tasmanian oak floors, panelled dado walls, picture rails and sash windows. The timeless finishes depict all the charm of its original era while the layout still proves well suited to modern-day country living.
A charming lounge room with Art Deco ceiling rose is warmed by a fireplace, while the open-plan kitchen has been upgraded with a brand new 900mm freestanding oven with induction cooktop and a stainless-steel dishwasher.
The three bedrooms share an original bathroom and a separate powder room, enticing with opportunity for contemporary upgrades for those seeking a more modern farmhouse aesthetic.
The sunroom spills out through French doors to a spacious barbecue deck, which gazes out across the verdant gardens with a mix of native and introduced trees spanning all the way back to the 1920s.
Blackwood, spotted gum, myrtle, a Tasmanian blue gum and 60-year-old oak trees add privacy and protection to the house and a cooling space to escape summer heat while also attracting incredible birdlife with black cockatoos, kookaburras, king parrots, eastern and crimson rosellas, galahs, sulphur-crested cockatoos, bands of pardalotes, and honeyeaters all at home on the property.
The arrival of Point Leo Estate in recent years brought with it 50 acres of vine, a sculpture park and restaurant and is just 2 kilometres away, while the gourmet delights of the Merricks General Store are 220 metres from Rowanberrys door.
Zoned for Balnarring Primary School and Dromana Secondary College, the property is a short trip to Merricks Beach, the yacht club, Balnarring village, wineries, the surf breaks of Point Leo, maze gardens and horse-riding trails.
