Ideally located between Warrnambool & Koroit in a quiet rural location, this unique property offers a big family home & sheds on approx. 9.3 acres. If you want a rural retreat with some charm and character within easy reach of schools & shops, but NOT on a busy main road, then step right up! This sort of property is very hard to come by on this size acreage so close to town.

Deceiving from a drive-by, the original 1880s homestead at the front has been renovated & extended, giving you a home of grand proportions and some 30sq of internal living. Polished floorboards and high ceilings run throughout the house and the character of the front part of the house blends seamlessly with the modern extension.

From the front entrance hallway there is a large bedroom or office to the right and then a generous master bedroom suite with large ensuite & plenty of closet space. Across from the master is the front lounge which could be used equally as a parents’ retreat or kids rumpus room.

You then walk through to the vast open living area which features a fantastic ‘country’ kitchen with island bench, gas appliances, dishwasher & heaps of cupboards; a spacious & sun-filled dining area and open family room with wood heater and reverse cycle heating/ cooling; plus huge undercover outdoor entertaining area with perfect Northern aspect. Plenty of space here for the whole family and you will enjoy kicking back and watching the kids tire themselves out!

In the back wing of the house are 3 guest/ kids’ bedrooms – all big doubles with BIRs – which share access to the family bathroom with clawfoot bath and separate WC; the laundry is at the back of the house too and has twice the cupboard space of the average kitchen!

The extension is just under 10 years old, well designed and proportioned with important works completed: a new roof has been added; the house rewired and replumbed, insulated roof and walls; foundations and flooring are in very good order; and aluminium windows have replaced timber down the weather side, with timber windows retaining the character on N/ E sides.

Outside there is space for kids and animals to roam and plenty of shedding. Improvements include good fencing and 3/4 paddocks with troughs, windmill and excellent bore, septic lines have been redone, a disused dairy, cubby with slide, a huge undercover pergola for entertaining in style and a whopping 18m x 7.5m shed for all the toys. There is plenty of room for more shedding if required with wide street frontage.

The great thing about this property is that it’s tucked away in a quiet spot on elevated ground, away from the traffic noise of the highway and major thrououghfares; yet only 5 minutes to Koroit, just over 5 mins to Warrnambool and about 10 mins to the beach… So you have an enviable country lifestyle with room to move, but with everything you’ll ever need practically on your doorstep.
