Located in Allambee Reserve, this 4 bedroom (2 double & 2 attic) + open plan study on the mezzanine floor, immaculate home is set on 1.1/4 acres of expansive gardens on what was once the site of the Allambee Reserve School. It is a rare find.
In addition to the bedrooms it has an open plan lounge/kitchen/meals area. The spacious lounge has soaring cathedral ceilings with a slow combustion wood fire to provide warmth for cosy winter evenings. If you dont feel like chopping wood there is a split level air-conditioner for heat in winter and cool on hot summer days. The kitchen has timber cupboards, plus an old fashioned gas stove to add old world charm, and a large walk-in pantry. There is a laundry, bathroom, separate toilet and small en suite to the master bedroom.
The house is surrounded on 3 sides by verandahs. From the front& side verandah there are views of the garden. From the back (which has cafe blinds) there are views of the hills & surrounding farm lands. The views are spectacular all year round. A bamboo gazebo provides a place from which you can sit with your drink and take in the beautiful surrounds, the cows from the neighbouring farms, and the extensive native bird life.
There is a double carport, a large workshop, 3 sheds (2 lock up), + a wood shed. A fenced off area is currently being used as a childrens playground with a cubby house, swings & fortress/sand pit (option to buy).
This home could be a lovely holiday home for family and friends to gather in, a tranquil retreat for couples wanting to get away from the bustle of Melbourne, or a permanent home for a retired couple who would like to be part of a small, friendly farming community. The CFA is right next door.
It is located in the Strzelecki Ranges (South Gippsland), approximately 25 min drive from Yarragon, Mirboo North or Leongatha. On the drive in there are lovely views, at dusk you will often see wombats, kangaroos & a vanishing Lyre Bird. An inspection will inspire.
