You really can have it all

It’s a decision many of us have pondered. Do we want to live ‘in town’ with easy access to services and amenities? Or would your preference be for a rural setting with the sounds of kookaburras and the view of gums? Well, this property has the best of both worlds, so you really can have it all!

Located just 5 minutes from the centre of Colac and situated on 2 hectares with bitumen to the gate, this lifestyle property offers a warm and happy environment that feels far from the centre of Colac. Starting life as 2 farmhouses on the Golden Plains, this home was relocated from Werneth approx 30 years ago.

Blending old world elegance with modern convenience, this is an updated take on the classic farmhouse. The master bedroom is huge with beautiful glass doors opening onto the verandah, a gorgeous chandelier and ceiling rose along with the modern inclusions of an ensuite and walk in robe. Bedrooms two and three are also generously sized and between them offer great storage, picture rails and hardwood floors that feature throughout the home.

The preserved architectural heritage extends into the kitchen / living / dining area with blackwood timber cabinetry making a beautiful, warm statement. The oversized island bench will be where your family will prop and interact, and the cook of the home will fall in love with the 900mm Falcon stove. This ripper, with gas cooktop and electric oven, will bring the family together for memory making gatherings.

The family bathroom retains a sense of history with a stunning claw foot bath and a modern shower with a niche shelf and the floor tile continuing up the wall.

As your family grows and expands the rumpus room, with its red gum topped bar will be highly sought-after real estate. There is an included freestanding wood heater with slate surrounds, and we imagine if these walls could talk, they would tell of laughs, celebrations and low key catch ups. There is a fantastic wall of storage in this space and easy access onto the back verandah with its amazing wood pizza oven and outdoor kitchen.

The lifestyle you can create only goes into overdrive when you step outside this wonderful home. A 12 x 6m shed with concrete floor and power connection even has a workshop area with benches. There is a fruit orchard with 9 varieties of trees including nectarine, orange and passionfruit. The green thumb of the family can also toil away in the veggie garden to cut down on the grocery bills.

The land is currently divided into 5 paddocks on either side of the recently curated driveway with suitability divided between sheep and cattle. There are sheep and cattle races, electric fencing, troughs, and a dam included. Alternatively, you could work towards a subdivision of this area, subject to council approval.

So, if you do want it all, you can, it’s here ready and waiting and we can’t wait to show you through.
