Rural Retreat

A beautifully private brick home, sited on approximately 7.5 acres of fertile Heytesbury Settlement land. Situated on one of the main tourist trails to the famed Shipwreck Coast, the property is also only just 30 minutes from the major regional centre of Colac and a further 60 minutes sees you in central Geelong.<br/><br/>Enter the home via the undercover back verandah - a perfect spot to sit and enjoy your garden or an afternoon breeze. A large mud room leads to a spacious family farmhouse kitchen featuring electric cooking and walk in pantry. The light & bright formal dining area has room for a family sized table and more. The wood panelled family room is warm & welcoming, with a solid fuel heater as well as air conditioner. <br/><br/>Bedrooms 1,2 & 3 all feature built in robes, with bedroom 4 just off the dedicated office area. A central laundry with great storage and functional family bathroom.<br/><br/>Surrounded by a generous garden on all sides and filled with thoughtful plantings, mature feature palms and well maintained lawns. A full sized tennis court could be bought back to life with a little work.<br/><br/>A three bay fully concreted shed with power and rear access also houses the large solar/ battery unit to help reduce your carbon footprint and to keep your energy bills in check. A further large workshop with dual access roller doors and fully decked out kitchen - including reverse cycle climate control & bathroom - has been utilised for both the local "Men's Shed" and large family gatherings. Utilised by a previous owner for their electrical business, a dual zoning for both rural and business expands your options.<br/><br/>Moving towards the fully fenced paddock you will find a plentiful water supply for both home and sheds with three substantial fresh water tanks. The gently undulating paddock would be perfect for livestock or a step towards self sufficiency with the large spring fed dam with an electrically equipped pump conveniently plumbed to the garden.<br/><br/>An inspection is a must, call to register your interest today.<br/><br/>
