“Green Fables”

Get away from it all on this tranquil, self-sufficient farm with breathtaking views. You have total peace and quiet, but are not isolated. Located in the same valley as Toms Cap winery (terrific restaurant, cafe and guest accommodation www.tomscap.com.au).

The property’s north-east orientation makes it ideal for many agricultural pursuits such as a vineyard or orchard or even a tourist enterprise to complement the nearby vineyard and natural attractions.

A 3 bedroom home is light and airy inside and positioned to take in the morning sun. Comprises an open plan kitchen/living room with a renovated kitchen and bathroom and wood fire heater. A near-new stand-alone solar system provides all the electricity to easily support a small family year round. Cooking is either by wood fire oven (that also heats water) or a gas oven/hob. Instant gas hot water system for the shower/bath. A near-new water pump, electricity backup generator and full size gas fridge are included in the sale of the property.

The 68 acres includes five paddocks with good fencing, access to permanent creek, two spring fed dams, & native bushland.

Outbuildings include a chicken shed, a large shed closed on three sides perfect for livestock or machinery, stockyards, two animal shelters and another storage shed. Plenty of established fruit trees including pears, apricots, plumbs and apples.

Location: 2 hours drive SE of Melbourne suburbs. 10 minute drive to Gormandale general store and primary school or a 25 minute drive to the bustling town of Traralgon with V-line trains to Melbourne. 15 mins drive to Yarram with its large supermarket, bakeries, cafes etc.

The stunning 90 Mile Beach at Woodside and the rainforests of Tarra Bulga National Park are both just a 20 minute drive away.

Heaps of wildlife including koalas, wombats, owls, wedge tail eagles, king parrots and echidna. The owners have even seen two emus recently! Priced to sell with realistic vendors. Inspection welcome by appointment.
