Ideally positioned with northside of Princes Highway frontage, this gracefully elevated allotment of 45 acres with panoramic views to the Eastern Ranges has so much to offer! With the ideal mix of cleared pastures (approx 35 acres), the balance being a generous sweep of native hardwood bushland with a second road frontage and very substantial improvements. Discover a lovingly maintained 3 bedroom brick veneer residence of great warmth and charm, secluded amongst mature colour filled gardens with wonderful shade trees. A self contained cottage plus the original (late 19th century) timber cottage (now a storage shed) still stands, testament to the earlier pioneering days of the area. A wealth of shedding set around a broad concrete hardstand (including two coolrooms) will provide storage, workshop, stabling or garaging for cars/machinery in style. Highly versatile, in a boutique north of highway location with direct access to the Princes Freeway and Melbourne CBD this property will satisfy an extensive "I want" list and more. (Until recently the property was run as a commercial orchard and still holds a current permit to operate "The Barn" for sale of fruit/vegetables). Inspection highly recommended.
