Log Cabin Love Shack
With a vibe like a ski lodge in an Austin Powers movie, this all-original ‘80s log cabin makes the perfect romantic getaway or affordable forever home on 50 acres (approx).
As you drive to the property through spectacular mountain ash forests, you’ll know you are approaching something special.
Remote and secluded, but with emerald hill views in all directions, this is the place to be if you’d like no near neighbours, and eagles, cows, and the occasional goat as company. The 360 degree views from the top of the property have to be seen to be believed. The current owners have had plans drawn up for a spectacular home (STCA) taking advantage of the views, which they are happy to share with the buyer.
The existing house has high timber ceilings, a chalet-style open plan kitchen, lounge and dining areas, retro tiled work tops and a large walk-in pantry. All in very good condition except the original cooker which needs replacing.
A wood heater in the centre of the living area can warm the whole house. There is also an open fireplace in the lounge area which the current owners don’t use.
Floor to ceiling windows and double glass sliding doors open to the rear deck and capture the views across the rolling hills to Mirboo and the ranges beyond, with Mt Baw Baw visible in the distance.
The bedrooms are comfortable with roomy built-in robes and high vaulted ceilings, and share a central late 70s – 80s gem of a bathroom in wonderful original condition with funky red tiles and tapware. The red colour scheme is also found in the separate toilet.
A rear entry area provides a wet room space for wet farm cloths and also a practical laundry.
Outside a 55,000 litre (approx.) concrete rainwater tank and smaller poly tank ensure plenty of water for the house and garden.
There is an orchard with heritage apple and pear trees, and plenty of room for sustainable gardens. A shed provides storage for mowers and other equipment.
The new owners will be able to run their own stock with good grazing paddocks, cattle yards in excellent condition, a hayshed, and five dams (one spring-fed) which provide reliable water even in drought conditions.
Alternatively, you might prefer to continue the current owners’ arrangement in which the next-door farmer leases the paddocks. This provides income as well having someone to do maintenance and generally keep an eye on things.
All fences are in good condition and weeds have been well controlled.
Affordable acreage properties are getting harder to find in South Gippsland. We recommend inspection as soon as possible.
