Here's your opportunity to get out of town or even escape the city and move to affordable acreage near Bairnsdale, East Gippsland. Walpa is a small community located just outside of Lindenow at the foothills of the Victorian High Country and surrounded by stunning farmland.
The beautiful, four-bedroom home on the property is setback from the bitumen road that connects Bairnsdale with Dargo, with a service road for access. The home is positioned to the front and left of the large block and has a distinctly farmhouse feel, with only two immediate neighbours, views to the rear over farmland and views from the front across the fertile Mitchell River flats. To the front of the home is a generous lounge with built-in slow combustion wood heater, perfect for those chilly nights. The adjoining kitchen comprises a large walk-in pantry, electric cooking and the feature, a freestanding slow combustion wood heater with cooktop and oven. This heater keeps the home warm during the cooler months and will allow you to cook mouth-watering wood fired pizza and roasts that will rival those from a conventional oven.
Down the hallway, there are three bedrooms, all with built in robes and a family bathroom with separate bath and shower, perfect for those with small children or grandchildren. To the rear of the home is a large sunroom or second living area, perfect for the children to have their own space. A separate toilet and a small fourth bedroom or study are located at the far end of the sunroom. The home has hardwood floorboards under carpet in the bedrooms and under vinyl floorboards in the kitchen whilst the lounge and hallway have exposed floorboards which have recently been sanded and stained.
A large roof mounted grid connected solar system helps keep energy costs down whilst a split system, reverse cycle air conditioner keeps things cool in the warmer months. To the rear of the home is a convenient alfresco area and a bungalow with a second toilet. Towards the rear of the block there's a lock up garage for three vehicles and a separate shed with electricity connected that is currently used as a mancave but could also make a great she-shed or teenager's retreat.
The yard has plenty of established fruit trees, a chicken pen and plenty of room for a pool or even a tennis court. The yard is predominantly low maintenance whilst the soil is excellent, with plenty of room to grow some vegetables or plant some more fruit trees. The children or grandchildren won't need their devices here…there's plenty of room to run around and play outside. Town water and the NBN are connected and there's plenty of parking out the front when guests visit.
The major rural hub of Bairnsdale is only around seventeen kilometres, whilst Sale is only around fifty-eight kilometres drive. For weekend adventures head up to Dargo, one of the Victorian High Country's must-see four wheel drive destinations. During the warmer months, you can travel the scenic Dargo High Plains Rd up to Mount Hotham. For a few drinks, a meal or coffee, Lindenow is only around a two-minute drive. Located here is The Long Paddock restaurant and also the Lindenow Hotel.
