Take a peek inside this charming weatherboard farmhouse on a semi rural property near the township of Tyabb and prepare to be swept off your feet. This is what dreams are made of – just under 3 acres with horse paddocks, an orchard and a family home brimming with character in rural surrounds.

It’s a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life and yet walking distance to quality schools and a short drive to cafes, local shopping precincts in Somerville and Hastings, and Peninsula Link. Frankston is less than 20 minutes’ drive. With a location midway between Western Port Bay and Port Phillip Bay, boating facilities and beaches are within easy reach.

The property is a manageable size for a busy family and offers Western Port Bay glimpses plus potential views from a second storey (subject to council approval). Retain the large horse paddock running the length of the allotment or fence it off into smaller paddocks to suit your equestrian needs.

The single storey, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home has been updated and extended, and is full of charm. Be delighted by the double hung timber windows, the open fire place in the master bedroom, the French doors leading to the verandah, the 3m high ceilings and the weatherboard exterior. Step up to the entrance and into an open plan kitchen, living and dining space featuring Kempas timber floors, solid timber kitchen bench tops, stainless steel Bosch and Smeg appliances, a walk-in pantry and a living space with Coonara wood heater.

A few steps away is a modern bathroom with cast iron bath, shower, toilet and storage and a laundry with an additional toilet. The second living area has a gas log heater and the bedrooms feature high, original ceilings, including ceiling fans. There is a 20,000L water tank, a 21-panel solar system, vegetable gardens, storage shed, hay shed, holding paddock, 12 x 8m garage and a location opposite Olivers Creek Bushland Reserve. Act quickly on this idyllic opportunity or miss out.

We believe that this property will achieve an estimated rental return of $800-$850 per week in todays market.
