Set in the picturesque South-West of Victoria, this private 71-acre (approx.) lifestyle property offers an affordable opportunity to enjoy country living with a comfortable home, established infrastructure and plenty of space for a range of hobby farming and lifestyle pursuits.
Just a five-minute drive from the township of Glenthompson and approximately 35 minutes to both Ararat and Hamilton, the property is well positioned for those wanting the peace and privacy of a rural setting without being too far from everyday conveniences.
The weatherboard home has plenty of potential and would benefit from some further updating and maintenance, while already offering a number of improvements including a renovated kitchen. The kitchen is a real feature, with an abundance of bench and cupboard space, large pantry, gas oven and cooktop and dishwasher. There is plenty of room for dining and everyday living, with the adjoining area also featuring a wood heater and split system and offering the flexibility to be used as a second living space.
At the front of the home, the formal living room provides a more traditional country feel with its open fireplace. Three generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with the master bedroom including a renovated ensuite with shower and vanity. A small office, sunroom and older-style bathroom/laundry are located towards the rear of the home, while the undercover alfresco area provides a lovely spot to sit back, enjoy the fresh country air and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Outside, there is plenty of room for vehicles, machinery and recreational equipment. A 5m x 6m single garage with automatic roller door is complemented by an impressive 7m x 12m three-bay open-front shed, providing excellent accommodation for cars, boats, caravans, machinery or a combination of the lot.
The property also retains a range of infrastructure from its former farming days, including a two-stand shearing shed with yards, machinery shed, old shearing quarters and a useful raised barn. While some of the older buildings are in need of attention, they offer plenty of potential for those looking to establish or expand their own small-scale farming operation.
The land is divided into five paddocks and offers versatility for livestock, horses, fodder crops or simply enjoying the freedom and space that comes with owning a larger rural holding. A sizeable swamp area provides a natural habitat for birdlife and native animals, while the rear of the property enjoys some lovely views towards the Grampians.
Offering a genuine country lifestyle, good shedding and farming infrastructure, a comfortable home and approximately 71 acres to enjoy, this is a property with plenty of scope to make your own and an affordable way to secure a slice of the Victorian countryside.
