A stunning hill-top setting with views of the mountains, across farmland to Milton township and to the Pacific Ocean beyond. One of the original tightly held historic Milton farms (c 1864), now fully restored beyond expectation. The four residential buildings of the homestead are surrounded by landscaped gardens and cluster around a sunny courtyard shaded by mature trees.
The double storey four/five bedroom stone house, with its verandahs, retains its colonial charm, while inside has been exceptionally designed for modern living. The superb stone creamery, now restored as a lounge and billiard room, and the original stone maid’s cottage form another two sides of the courtyard. The three buildings are complemented by a new three car garage. One of the other outbuildings provides an expansive workshop and machinery shed.
The farm is 100 acres of lush green pasture on rich basalt soil with eight fenced paddocks, each with shade trees and a dam. Currently running Angus cattle but Milton’s rich soil and superb climate support all kinds of agriculture and horticulture.The property is located five minutes from Milton’s restaurants and cafes and ten minutes from Mollymook Beach.
Featured in the 2012 Summer Edition of South Coast Style, Avenal is the rarest of finds and truly Milton’s most beautiful farm!
