Set on approximately 16 hectares (40 acres) of gently rising countryside, this exceptional small-acreage property on Old Lurg Road captures the essence of rural Victoria - complete with expansive skies, big sunsets, and a home built to stand the test of time.
The custom-built four-bedroom homestead is surrounded by fertile country and showcases all the hallmarks of the classic Australian farmhouse. Constructed using locally sourced materials - brick, rock, and ironbark timber - it perfectly harmonises with its natural surroundings. Inside, solid hydraulic-pressed clay brick walls (250mm thick) deliver superb insulation and thermal mass, complemented by slate floors, exposed timber beams, and striking farmhouse trusses.
With perfect solar orientation, the home captures abundant northern light for natural warmth in winter and passive cooling in summer. Further climate control is provided by split-system air conditioning and a Coonara wood heater, ensuring year-round comfort.
Large windows open to flourishing gardens and expansive lawns filled with mature plantings and fruit trees, while a wrap-around verandah extends the living space outdoors - providing shade in summer and a sunny retreat in the cooler months. The outdoor entertaining area, shaded by ornamental grapevines, flows seamlessly from the main living hub, making it the perfect spot for gatherings or quiet relaxation.
The galley-style kitchen features stone benchtops and a walk-in pantry, and the home includes two bathrooms and a laundry for family functionality.
Beyond the main residence, the property features:
• Approx. 30 acres with 5 electrified paddocks.
• Bungalow - comprising accommodation, toilet, shower and bench with sink. Enclosed workshop and carport
• Cattle yards including ramp and crush
• Two dams with pumps
• Rainwater tanks plumbed to the house, (approx. 50,000l)
• Garden and lawn irrigation system
Perfectly positioned, not even 10 minutes from Benalla, this rural haven is within close proximity to North East Victoria's most well know local attractions..
This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed, eco-conscious country home where craftsmanship, comfort and sustainability come together in perfect harmony.
