The Property:
This exceptional hill-side sanctuary has a magical quality that's good for the soul. Boasting 3 fertile acres, with breathtaking panorama and a modern family home, it is an ideal down to earth lifestyle choice for those wanting to escape the urban jungle.
This property lies at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, at the highest point, with views over rolling farmlandsthat are home to Angus cattle and horses. The hills slope down and you can enjoy nature as far as the eye can see, in all directions.
Your new family home, or weekend retreat and hobby farm, is only about 6 minutes easy drive from Bairnsdale CBD, with ample schools, facilities and many things to do.
The property boasts 3 acres, the majority of North-sloping grass areas. The soil is fertile, and it has been further enriched with over 700 bags of horse manure in areas suitable for plant, flower or vegetable beds and fruit trees, of which there are a variety on the property, as well as a line of olive trees. The land is securely and fully fenced.and the central 'paddock' is fully fenced with chicken wire to keep dogs secure. There are several sprinkler systems.

The house faces north to ensure amble winter sun to help heat the home, but the living and dining area are protected from the sun by the covered outdoor entertainment area. The roof and walls are double insulated to a 5-star energy rating. There is a fan-powered, ducted heat transfer system above the ceiling to transport heat from near the large wood heater to the second living area and to the bedroom areas. There is also a reverse cycle airconditioner and multi-speed ceiling fans in most rooms.

It has two living areas, dining area, kitchen with large L-shaped walk-in pantry and three double power points for all your appliances, a large storage area, with 4 storage levels on both sides, bathroom, laundry and separate toilet. The house is approximately 27 squares. There is a large 49m2 covered outdoor entertainment area at the North of 49m2 and a two-car carport with 3-4 bay shed of 122.5m2.

There are a few landline phone connections in the house, and Telstra mobile phone works well in all rooms.
The TV reception is good for all channels. Aerial connections are available in all living and bedrooms.
