Nestled in the highly sought after locale of Barrys Reef, and sitting proudly in a delightful private setting is this original timber, ranch-style, character filled cottage, perfect as a weekend getaway or for those looking for a permanent tree change.
Verandas front and back adorn the home and the open plan lounge, meals and kitchen all have the most amazing views and open onto the elevated deck, for those morning breakfasts and afternoon BBQ's.
Well cared for and lovingly maintained, the home features three light filled bedrooms – the larger of these with double built-in robes and timber style flooring for ease of care. The kitchen features electric cooking and is functional and compact with good bench space and storage.
A combined practical bathroom and laundry, with separate toilet, complete this charming home. Ducted heating and cooling have your comfort covered, along with a traditional Nectre wood fire heater and tiled floor.
The rear of the property includes a carport and down stairs there is a huge under house area for extra shelving and storage.
Sitting on 751m2 corner allotment, the lush low maintenance gardens, with local stone edging and full of both native and exotic plants, including Camelias, Rhododendrons and bulbs, are magnificent to wander through and at times just sit and reflect under the pergola. Enjoy feeding the birds – Cockatoos, King parrots and Gang Gangs and the wildlife visitors such as kangaroos.
And to complete this wonderful package, adjacent is the lovely leafy block of approximately 4000m2 available to be exclusively leased from DELWP and provides a perfect place for grazing, keeping your horse or develop a permaculture venture for sustainable living with an edible kitchen garden.
Enjoy all the amenity of the close township of Blackwood: Post Office & General Store, Blackwood Hotel and mineral springs set amongst the Lerderderg and Wombat State Forests. Blackwood is an hour by car to Melbourne via the Western Freeway, or 17 minutes to the V/Line service located in Ballan.
