Opportunity for dual living, B&B, farmstay accommodation, parents retreat, or simply separate living quarters for your family and guests when they come and stay! The opportunities are endless due to the unique split level layout of the home.
The property boasts over 50acres of excellent pasture with abundant water including 5 dams and troughs throughout. Undulating with pasture aplenty and excellent hay paddocks the property is easily accessible by car or foot via a centrally located laneway/private road. This leads to a stand of heritage listed Elm trees where the original 'Clestron' homestead once stood. This place holds great historical significance within the local shire as it is where the original pioneering 'Ogilvy' family once lived. The 360 views are unsurpassed in their magnitude as you can see from the snow to the sea in one glance.
Quintessentially country, 'Clestron' has the original old dairy that would make the perfect man cave or Artists studio, chicken run, over 20 fruit trees, grape vines, and shedding. There is a double carport leading into a mudroom and plenty of areas outdoors to entertain. The garden is low maintenance with beautiful lawns and large, mature, deciduous trees, native flora and abundant native wildlife.
This property is exceptional value. With too much to mention, it is a must see and will not disappoint. Centrally located, it is a 90 minute drive South East of Melbourne, and only a half an hour drive, either way to the Latrobe Valley or the pristine south coast. A property that ticks all of the boxes, it would accommodate any small farming or other business venture. Enjoy the best of both worlds with this charming lifestyle property.
