On approximately 13.6 hectares (33 acres approx) in a superb location boasting rich red volcanic soils, a meandering creek and a beautiful outlook over gently undulating farmland, this peaceful rural retreat is an offering like no other.
The Main Homestead is supremely comfortable, generously proportioned and beautifully appointed featuring a classic four bedroom Victorian inspired home offering luxury over three living zones with a captivating view across farmland. A generous verandah wraps around the home protecting it from the elements and providing idyllic places to relax and entertain.
The Stables, originally shearers' accommodation has been lovingly restored, now a charming two bedroom, self-contained cottage with a quality fit-out. Currently operating as a successful bed and breakfast and is a walk-in-walk-out proposition. Nestled behind oak trees, it incorporates private outdoor entertaining.
A bonus is the 3rd dwelling, a modest original farmhouse nestled amongst stunning established oak trees in a private setting. Each residence has its own access from bitumen road frontage.
Generous infrastructure includes several outbuildings, including a machinery shed and workshop to the rear of The Stables, which comprises; The Lodge (previously a shearing shed, now a home office), and additional undercover parking for farm equipment. Town water is supplemented by rainwater tanks, two bores (pumps required) and a spring-fed dam. The acreage is suitable for cattle and hay production, with one paddock enjoying lucerne crop improvement. Cypress windbreaks surround paddocks and provide delightfully secluded spots to enjoy a summer picnic.
With the ability to produce an income from various pursuits if desired, and the added bonus of extra accommodation for dependant relatives, family and friends. An astute buyer will recognise this as an exceptional and potentially lucrative opportunity to secure a small rural holding under an hour from Melbourne CBD and under 40 minutes to Tullamarine airport. The property is known as 243, 255 and 261 Knox Road, Romsey.
