On the banks of the Murray River and at home with nature, "Berrilong" is the quintessential North West Victorian lifestyle property that captures the imagination in every possible way.
This exceptional property is without doubt a "once in a lifetime' opportunity and is unrivalled in the local market in terms of location, lifestyle and presentation.
The 9.78ha (24.17ac) property is conveniently located only 11km from Swan Hill's southern fringe with sealed road to the front entrance where you immediately sense that you are in for something very special.
The presentation of the property is second to none as you drive past two ten acre paddocks perfectly laid out for irrigation suitable for pasture, cropping, horses or livestock.
Upon arrival at the home you are greeted by established native gardens with majestic gum trees and a tennis court that immediately creates a sense that you have entered a rural retreat.
The brick veneer home has been thoughtfully renovated with the addition of double glazed windows throughout to capture the stunning view toward the river and to embrace nature's wonderland.
The star of the show is the central indoor/outdoor living, dining and entertaining spaces, featuring elegant, raked ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass and screened alfresco dining overlooking the solar heated, self-cleaning swimming pool.
The immaculate home features four bedrooms, the main retreat boasting a large walk-in robe, floor to ceiling tiled ensuite with granite bench top, automated skylight, ceiling fan and remote controlled drapes, whilst at the opposite wing there are an additional three bedrooms with built in robes and a cleverly designed separate toilet, shower room and bathroom both with floor to ceiling tiling and Travertine benchtops.
A formal lounge opens to the alfresco area and study with built in desk and shelving. The functional kitchen features Victorian Ash cabinetry, granite bench tops, walk-in-pantry and quality appliances, with the laundry centrally accessible.
Ducted evaporative cooling throughout, in floor heating, Nobo wall-mounted heating and a stylish gas log fire in the main living area enhance the home's liveability.
External improvements include a double carport, five bay machinery shed with power and a lock up workshop/shed with concrete floor containing a lined and insulated airconditioned studio.
In addition to the 60,000 litre rainwater storage, domestic and stock water is drawn directly from the Murray River with a private independent diversion licence. The lasered paddocks are irrigated utilising a shared 10" electric driven pump and the irrigation system includes a recycle dam and pump. The property presentation includes 5mgl of high reliability and 2mgl low reliability water shares with the successful purchaser having the option to purchase the vendor's additional water shares at market value.
General improvements include vegetable gardens, large freshwater storage tanks, settling tank, well designed watering systems with pumps and filters, stockyards with loading race, quality fences and gates, substantial garden/outdoor lighting and a bus shelter.
