Picturesque Rural Property with Moorabool River Frontage

Fringed by 550 metres of Moorabool River frontage encircled by the stunning ambiance of mature River Red Gums and native wildlife, this prestigiously positioned property of 10.8 ha - 26.7 acres presents as an unrivalled opportunity to bring your dream rural lifestyle to fruition. The existing three bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage offers distinctive character and charm, with original timber windows, heightened ceilings and warm timber floors complemented by recently completed upgrades to the kitchen/meals area and bathroom. Cascading grapevines cloak a picturesque country verandah, perfectly orientated to soak in the unique beauty of the surrounding landscape, lulled by the whisper of regenerative Cork Oak trees and the soft flow of the river across the basalt plain. Remnants of the old 1859 bluestone bridge tell tales of years gone by, cultivating a storybook setting to raise your family for generations to come. Offering immediate livability with scope for further renovation and/or extension, coupled with the potential to start from scratch and build the ultimate rural family retreat (STCA), duly ideal for hobby farming, agricultural pursuits or those seeking a semi-sustainable lifestyle in one of the most highly sought regions of the Golden Plains Shire.
