This manageable property of 63 acres sits on two titles across gently undulating farmland. Iona is a place where time slows, and the beauty of the setting takes centre stage. It is hard to imagine you could be under ten minutes from Woodend and an hour from Melbourne, all of which seem a world away.
This three-bedroom weatherboard home feels warm and welcoming, and the light filled living/dining and kitchen provide views from every window across the gardens and paddocks. The east facing back veranda is perfect for coffee in the morning sun, and the west facing front veranda is the place to watch the sunset with an evening drink.
The land is divided into three main paddocks. There are cattle yards for stock, and the farm has been producing hay for many years. Four dams service the property. There is the opportunity to run the farm yourself or agist stock. A large machinery shed provides ample storage for equipment and hay with a loft above offering a studio space or teenage retreat. Additionally, there are two box stables and a tack room with a concreted grooming area. Five acres of bushland provide wildlife habitat and a source of firewood.
Established extensive gardens surround the home. The magnificent croquet lawn in front of the house can be used for games, while refreshments can be served in the pavilion.
With a 10,000-gallon water tank and zoning that protects the natural beauty around the property. Iona offers both comfort and connection to the land.
Whether you dream of grazing livestock, planting vines on the northern slopes, tending gardens or simply finding peace in nature, 'Iona' offers a wonderful lifestyle opportunity.
