Exuding tranquility and exclusivity, this rare-to-market Barwon River fronted property seamlessly blends the best of rural lifestyle living whilst being only a few minutes to the Winchelsea town centre.
Cherished by the same local family for over 130 years of continued land ownership, this remarkable 5.48 acre property was carefully transformed from a paddock in the early 1990's to a rural lifestyle oasis, showcasing a wide array of established trees, gardens and extensive grassed areas, perfect for the kids and family pets.
Custom designed and built in the mid-1990's, the much-loved family home enjoys 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (ensuite to master), separate study/home office in the master wing and a large laundry/mud room.
The kitchen enjoys warm natural light and views over the gardens towards the river, copious built-in-storage and a large dining space. A seamless connection from the dining space through to the family lounge makes this section the heart of the home, featuring a north-facing, sunlit open space with a wood heater on a feature brick wall for added thermal mass, which adds to the sustainability principles that feature throughout this home.
Adjoining the lounge is a multi-functional rumpus room/retreat, separating the family lounge from the kids bedroom wing, currently being utilised as a library and quiet space but perfect as a kids tv and/or play room depending on your needs. Both living spaces feature sliding door access onto the decked verandah for morning coffees, with an established wisteria on full show during Spring.
Externally, the river flat section of this property is majestic, featuring ancient river red gums, abundant bird life, billabongs and the meandering Barwon River flowing along the banks. Tradies are well catered for with two enclosed sheds (12x6m and 9x6m) featuring concrete floors, electricity connected, 3 roller doors plus an internal workshop space.
Other important features include 6.5kW* solar panels + a 5kW battery for energy efficiency and minimal power bills, town water connected + 45,000Lt tank water, a double carport next to the home, secure store room with external entrance and split/system heating & cooling units throughout the home.
Winchelsea's thriving community offers a redeveloped pool, golf club, sports facilities, Barwon Park mansion, cafés, pubs, shops and medical services.
Centrally positioned between Geelong, Lorne and Colac, and within easy reach of Surf Coast beaches, Otway forests and the Great Ocean Road. Only 20 minutes to Waurn Ponds and approximately 1 hour, 20 minutes to Melbourne via the dual-lane highway.
Designed to take advantage of the gorgeous natural surroundings, this rare piece of riverfront heaven will be sure to impress and offers a rare-to-market rural sanctuary without compromise.
