Cherished by the same German family for over 40 years, this AV Jennings double-story residence stands as a proud testament to a bygone era. A true time capsule of the 1980s, the home remains in remarkably original condition. Complete with strong bones, vintage fittings and a world of untapped possibility for those ready to renovate and reap the rewards.
Positioned on almost 13 acres right near the heart of Little River, this home offers a lifestyle rarely found. The land itself is something incredibly special. Views across paddocks stretch toward the iconic You Yangs, framed by calming trees and tranquil spaces. The setting is private, peaceful and full of rural charm, yet just moments from town conveniences.
An all-weather driveway leads you past a mini roundabout for guest parking and up to the residence. Step inside to the formal lounge and dining room, bathed in natural light that streams down from a striking vaulted void above.
The adjoining kitchen sits untouched by time (and quite possibly still hosts the original dishwasher!) paired with an electric cooktop and oven. An informal dining nook flows into a cosy family living area, featuring a brick accent wall, Coonara wood heater, split system and access to the enclosed side yard.
A large undercover outdoor zone adjoins the double garage (BYO tools and imagination to see its full potential as an entertainer’s haven).
Upstairs, a timber staircase leads to four modest bedrooms. The master is fitted with double built-in robes and an ensuite. Roller shutters are fitted throughout the home; some electric, most manual, a few requiring a little TLC but offering valuable sun protection and security.
Outside is where the magic truly unfolds. The driveway continues past the house to a 4-bay machinery shed with power and concrete flooring, ideal for storage or hobby farming. Small animal shelters, storage sheds, a thriving tree orchard, towering pines and two spacious paddocks offer flexibility for livestock, hobby farming, horse enthusiasts or a rural retreat. The side paddock even offers its own street frontage. The property has town water connected!
Little River offers a genuine community focused lifestyle, complete with a kindergarten, primary school, general store, train station and a much-loved local pub. All of this sits just 10 minutes to Lara, 45 minutes to Melbourne CBD and under 30 minutes to Geelong, providing easy commuting options while still delivering the peaceful rural lifestyle so many dream of.
Brimming with character, potential and history, this property is ready for its next chapter. Renovate, reimagine and create the rural sanctuary you’ve always dreamed of. The foundations are here, and the possibilities are enormous!
