Set across a beautiful 40-acre (approx.) holding in the peaceful surrounds of Freshwater Creek, 685 Pettavel Road is an exceptional country property where expansive space, privacy and an enviable lifestyle come together. With a prized northern orientation, serene rural outlooks from virtually every room and an impressive array of facilities, this is a property that embraces country living without compromising on comfort or convenience.
From the moment you step inside the sun-filled homestead, the connection to the surrounding acreage is immediate. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame beautiful views across the property and towards the pool and spa, filling the generous dining and living zone with natural light. The adjoining country-inspired kitchen is both practical and inviting, featuring stone benchtops, a freestanding cooker, dishwasher and large walk-in pantry, while the sunken lounge creates a warm and relaxed retreat centred around a wood-burning fireplace.
Accommodation is generous, with five bedrooms, all featuring built-in robes and ceiling fans.
The privately positioned master suite includes a walk-in robe and beautifully appointed ensuite with a striking stone and timber vanity. A recently completed family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms, complemented by a third bathroom with a distinctive country character and clawfoot bath.
Additional living space includes a versatile third living area, ideal as a children's retreat or playroom, along with a dedicated study space. Elevated ceilings, high clerestory windows and timber-lined ceilings with exposed beams add warmth, character and an abundance of natural light throughout the home.
Beyond the homestead, the property truly comes into its own. A magnificent 12m x 6m inground solar-heated pool and gas-heated spa create an impressive centrepiece for summer entertaining, complemented by a dedicated pool house with entertaining space and powder room. Children will love the tree house and basketball court, while established vegetable boxes, a chicken run and extensive grazing paddocks add to the property's self-sufficient country lifestyle.
The infrastructure is equally impressive, including two dams, two 15,000-litre water tanks, town water, a substantial 20m x 7m three-bay shed, additional shedding with roller doors, a bike shed and well-maintained fencing throughout. The extensive grounds provide ample space for animals, recreation, gardens and whatever your vision for acreage living may be.
Ideally positioned within easy reach of the Surf Coast, Freshwater Creek Store, Waurn Ponds Train Station and Shopping Centre, Deakin University and some of Geelong's most respected schools, the property offers a rare balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.
685 Pettavel Road presents an outstanding opportunity to secure an established acreage lifestyle with the space, infrastructure and versatility to grow with your family, pursue a hobby farm or simply enjoy the freedom and privacy that only a property of this scale can provide.
