Retreat to your own little piece of the country and soak up the quiet rural atmosphere while earning $50,000 plus from this glorious and very manageable ten acre property located surprisingly close to shops, schools, wineries and beaches. Set back from the roadway behind a timbered nature strip which creates privacy, this attractive rural property is entered between stone gate posts along a driveway flanked on each side by pony paddocks scattered with Gum trees. The road way curves around to reveal the substantial ranch style bluestone lodge of unique character and timeless design. Built in 1974 to the owner’s requirements the property has catered for a large family and many friends who have all enjoyed this comfortable home in its beautiful natural environment of more than 10 acres for over 37 years. Situated on top of Mount Martha it provides commanding rural views toward Red Hill and Main Ridge and overlooks the Martha Cove Inland Harbors and their access waterways. Remote from the residence, an impressive Swim School building together with car parking spaces approached by separate access from the road and within its own fenced area all hidden by trees provides a sizeable income ($50,000 plus) from the lessee who operates the business to a restricted day time schedule. It is closed for public use on Sundays and public holidays and the lease agreement allows for the landlord’s conditional private use of the pool facilities during those times of closure. Also remote from the home and approached by a separate driveway is more garaging suitable for truck parking connected to a large builder’s workshop with washroom, toilet and lunchroom, which has provided additional income. This can be re let if desired. More income can be obtained if the land was used for agriculture. There are some other stylishly built sheds for firewood and storage and also an aviary. As well as the mains supply, ample water is available from large underground tanks and a dam. For outdoor entertaining there is a large decked area, a built-in furniture unit, barbeque and an in-ground trampoline, all with scenic views beyond a small orchard and vegetable garden.
