Lovingly held by the same family for 40 years, this magnificent five-acre parcel of land is a property of rare scale and character, uniting established natural beauty, substantial accommodation and a country-inspired way of life within a coveted suburban setting.
Spanning an impressive 70 x 300-metre corner allotment and backing directly onto King Lloyd Reserve, the grounds unfold with a sense of privacy and space seldom found in the suburbs. Majestic gum trees, native landscaping and abundant birdlife lend a tranquil, almost pastoral backdrop.
The spacious two-level residence comprises four bedrooms on the ground floor, two more upstairs and three bathrooms in total. Multiple living spaces suit every stage of family life, from a private lounge and casual living zone to a formal dining room and a versatile library and entertaining space, offering a graceful balance between everyday ease and special occasions. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and meals area opens to the outdoors, where a fully enclosed inground pool, sunlit courtyard and covered alfresco set the stage for year-round entertaining and treasured family celebrations.
Beyond the home, established gardens reveal a quiet world of their own. An extensive selection of fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, three fenced paddocks with animal shelters and a picturesque pond frequented by ducks. Here, children can roam, gardens can flourish and animals can be kept, an unusual freedom so close to the city.
Newtown's exclusive Barwon River precinct offers a lifestyle to match. Scenic walking and cycling trails lie close by, along with Barwon Edge Café and Restaurant. Fyans Park Primary School (zoned) is within walking distance, while some of Geelong's finest secondary colleges are close at hand. Highton Village shops and Pakington Street are easily accessible, with the CBD approximately 10 minutes by car.
