Set across approximately 4.6 acres of peaceful countryside, this charming weatherboard residence offers a wonderful blend of country character, established gardens and relaxed family living.
Lovingly shaped by the current owners over many years, the gardens create a beautiful setting for a home where there is room to breathe, space to grow and every opportunity to embrace a more relaxed way of life.
Wrapping around the home, a generous deck and verandah invite you to slow down and savour the surroundings, whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, entertaining family and friends or simply taking in the picturesque views across Freshwater Creek farmland and the rolling valleys beyond.
Inside, the home retains a distinctive charm, with a practical L-shaped kitchen, dining and living area forming the everyday hub. The well-equipped kitchen offers electric cooking, generous preparation space and ample cabinetry, while the adjoining living area enjoys a lovely rural outlook.
A separate formal living and dining room provides an inviting place to gather, complete with a gas log fire set within a traditional brick surround and mantel, adding warmth and character through the cooler months.
Four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including an upper-level main bedroom with built-in robes, a light-filled ensuite and elevated views across the surrounding countryside. The remaining bedrooms include built-in robes, with one also featuring built-in shelving and its own access to the outdoors. A spacious, retro-inspired family bathroom adds further personality, showcasing a sunken bathtub, antique cedar vanity and separate shower, with a separate WC conveniently positioned alongside.
Baltic pine floorboards and carpet lend a homely feel throughout, while split-system heating and cooling, additional wall heaters and ceiling fans provide year-round comfort. Town water is another welcome inclusion, adding everyday convenience to this country setting.
Beyond the verandah, the grounds are a defining feature of the property. Beautiful English country-style gardens create a picturesque backdrop, complemented by an established collection of fruit trees, including apple, peach, nectarine, lemon and lime, along with a New Zealand pink peach tree. A white grapevine graces the verandah, while vegetable boxes offer the opportunity to grow your own seasonal produce and a dedicated chook pen adds to the appeal of a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
Practical extras include a triple carport and open shed, providing useful space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies and the many essentials that come with acreage living.
Offering a wonderful foundation for families, garden enthusiasts and those seeking a little more room to move, 270 Bogans Lane presents the opportunity to enjoy an established lifestyle property while considering the possibilities for the future.
The property remains conveniently positioned within easy driving distance of Freshwater Creek Store, Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre and train station, Deakin University, Geelong's schools and the amenities of Armstrong Creek and Mount Duneed. With the Surf Coast also within easy reach, you can enjoy the best of country living without feeling removed from everyday conveniences.
A home with heart, gardens with character and space to make your own, this is a wonderful opportunity to embrace the Freshwater Creek lifestyle.
