Basking on the sheltered northern slope and capturing verdant rural views across neighbouring olive groves with resident kangaroos, and grape vines, this character-filled three-bedroom hideaway is set among two acres of mature gardens bursting with colour and fragrance.
Offering immediate entree to the good life and scope to achieve sea views from a future double storey build, this is the ideal stage for your dream weekender or permanent hinterland home.
At one with its enchanting, sheltered setting that includes a picturesque dam regularly visited by local water birds and wildlife, the existing residence sits among lovingly tended gardens that have evolved under an artist's eye to surprise and delight at every turn.
The enduring appeal of a weatherboard exterior gives way to a spacious main lounge under soaring raked timber ceilings, while tall picture windows engage the greenery and the comforting glow of a wood fire adds warmth and ambiance. The house is bathed in glorious winter sun but shaded in summer.
Beyond, timber floors anchor an open-plan kitchen and meals area that flows to a sunny rear deck, perfect for relaxed summer meals and there is also the option to reinstate a traditional wood fired oven if desired.
Also enjoying direct access to the deck, the main bedroom has built-in robes and a spa ensuite, while additional accommodation is provided by two comfortable bedrooms at the opposite end of the house with a shower and toilet adjoining.
Just minutes' drive from the Point Leo surf, Red Hill village shops and market, wineries and farm gate providores, extras here include a rustic art studio with pot belly stove, numerous fruit trees, a picturesque dam, triple carport and wood shed.
