A cherished family property held for over a century, this early 1900s period home is now available for the first time. Located in the esteemed Bona Vista area, just over an hour's drive east of Melbourne and 10 minutes south of Warragul train station, it offers a rare lifestyle opportunity.
This two-storey homestead, set on 20 hectares (51.8 acres), greets you with a sweeping tree-lined driveway. Inside, the home features 5 spacious bedrooms, two separate living areas with boxed bay window seats, a sunroom, main bathroom, separate toilet, updated laundry, and a traditional country-style kitchen with a dual cooker. With 10-foot ceilings, decorative cornices, picture rails, and timber dado panelling, it seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comforts like ducted heating.
Enjoy picturesque views from various vantage points in the established gardens, with a north-side paved area perfect for entertaining.
An added bonus is the former Bed & Breakfast, a fully self-contained 1-bedroom miners cottage. It includes a modern bathroom, kitchen, lounge, meals area, split system heat & cool, and a covered rear decking with views of the scenic Strzelecki Ranges.
Externally, amenities include a garage, 3-bay steel shed, workshop, older-style sundry shedding, and a former herringbone dairy and yards. The land, fenced into 9 paddocks with laneways, gently slopes to flat terrain and is adjacent to Bear Creek. Water is pumped to a storage tank and gravity-fed to troughs. With extensive two-road frontages and a prime location in a respected farming district, this property is a rare find worthy of inspection.
