South Gippsland Lifestyle
Dreaming of rolling green hills, sustainable small acreage and cosy country cottage lifestyle?
This property could make your dreams come true!
Situated just 10 minutes from the country town of Foster via bitumen roads, with the school bus stop at the bottom of the drive, is this sweet family home. Built in the late 50's or early 60’s and subsequently modernized, it combines period features with practical family space, relaxed indoor/outdoor lifestyle and great infrastructure.
You approach the property up a long, well-maintained drive, passing lush hillside paddocks full of new lambs. The gravel drive has a practical turn-a-round at the top of the hill, with plenty of parking space for boats, caravans and other toys with added glimpses through the trees of nearby Corner Inlet and Wilsons Prom. The pretty cottage style family home sits at its summit.
As you enter the home, you pass the veranda with its attractive decorative post brackets and the lead light front door. The kitchen, bedrooms and central bathroom are accessed off the main hall.
3 fully carpeted traditional bedrooms are situated at the front of the home, each with large light windows and ceiling fans. The master has its own fireplace ideal for romantic winter sleep-ins.
The galley style, country kitchen provides access to the lounge/dining room with its striking views of high South Gippsland Hills, at the rear of the house. Kept warm in winter with a wood fire and cool in summer with reverse cycle aircon’. Accessed from the lounge, a covered deck and outdoor dining area with spa and fire pit create a perfect space to entertain family and friends all year round. A small multi-purpose music room/study/ kid’s playroom with laundry and toilet sit to the left of the lounge.
Outside the land is divided into 3 fully fenced main paddocks with a spring fed dam and a 4th smaller house paddock with 2 small stables, perfect to run a few cattle, sheep or a couple of ponies. A stock race, crush and loading ramp make it easy to move and manage stock.
The property has a small vegetable patch, with plenty of room and water to expand if required. Citrus and fruit trees, and charming seasonal daffodils and jonquils popping up in the house paddock.
Water for the house and garden is supplied by 4 x 26,000 litre rainwater tanks and a 3.5KW solar system helps with the power bills.
For the family handy person there is generous shedding with 2 large, powered concrete floored sheds and a neat separate studio sleep out.
This property allows everyone plenty of room to live a healthy outdoor lifestyle, with scope to expand the house if required, subject to Council approval.
Well located, it’s just 10 minute’s drive on made roads to Foster with its shops, supermarkets, schools and medical facilities. 18 minutes to Fish Creek and 2 hours 12 minutes from central Melbourne.
