What's around 665 Smythesdale-Snake Valley Rd

40 Acres & A Californian Bungalow Home, Providing The Perfect Lifestyle

Welcome to ‘Canicocrest', only 20 minutes from Ballarat, 15 minutes to the Delacombe Town Centre and 10 minutes to Smythesdale. Beyond this picture book Californian bungalow you will find high ceilings, timber panelling, three glamorous bedrooms with built in robes, two bathrooms and a choice of living zones; with an expansive lounge boasting timber floating floors, an open fire place and gorgeous bay window, a sunny living area with a connected dining zone plus a rear hall way which is large enough for children's play, a desk or a handy mudroom. The central kitchen boasts an original Stanley wood fired stove (imported from Waterford, Ireland) which supplements the HWS; plus a stainless SMEG, glass top stove; with ample preparation space and storage to appeal to any chef's demands. The independent laundry boasts a walk in linen room or pantry/storeroom, while a shower room and separate toilet is designed to be easily accessed from the outdoors. A massive outdoor deck is ideal for scores of guests or family members, with a percentage covered and the remainder exposed to bask in the sun. Adding to the entertaining areas outdoors is a freestanding fully covered pavilion with roll down blinds, lights and ceiling fans surrounded by open lawns and spotted feature trees adding to the character of this amazing tailored outbuilding. The home has been lovingly restored over time and represents an ideal lifestyle in which to raise your family, or alternatively provides a semi open design for modern day living whilst pondering your hobby farming dreams outdoors. Resting on almost 40 acres of land and featuring 5 fenced paddocks and 2 dams, huge chook pen and shed, this property also includes a natural bush setting perfect for goats, horses or other animals; bike riding or offering various walking trails within. The 2 catchment dams provide water to stock troughs and garden taps. The house yard is fully enclosed to keep the little ones and pets safe with a fish pond. There is a Hot House, fully enclosed netted veggie garden and a Coolroom (the coolroom was originally a 40,000 litre concrete tank which has been smartly converted with great storage and access door). The property has mains power, a 5-kilowatt solar system via 20 panels, 67,980 litres of tank water; with NBN and town water available, plus ample wood supply throughout the property. Improvements include a double garage, double carport, a garden shed, a wood shed and a massive 180m2 work shop with handy preserving kitchen with hot and cold water, concrete floor and power (the garage also has its own small combustion heater). Buyer please note, the vendors are looking for a January, 2019 settlement date.

Caring and Positive Agent

Chris Leonard sat and discussed our potential end-year sale of our home and 40 acre property back in April and waited patiently till we were ready to proceed. At all times he has been patient, positive and caring at what was an emotional time for us. He promised a figure well over an initial 'private' off-market, offer and achieved even higher than that figure; "though I will respect your wishes if you wish to proceed with this offer now". He negotiated with several prospective purchasers while we were interstate and I feel that both parties were happy with the final outcome. We are happy to recommend Chris to others to work on their behalf. Yours sincerely, Frances and Joseph Sensi
