Five bedrooms plus study, three separate living areas and a beautiful alfresco area with stunning views across Bunyip State Park to Westernport Bay. There are views of Mt. Baw Baw to the north with snow in Winter.
The garden A feature of 'Lisnaskea' is the magnificent, botanical parkland surrounding the house. Carefully established and nurtured by the current owners, the park contains over 40 species (some quite rare) of established ornamental trees which attract an abundance of birdlife including Satin Bowerbirds and King Parrots. There is a separate grove of approx. 600 x 10 Y.O. ornamental trees on the farm which can be used for replanting etc.
The garden is easy to maintain and creates a beautiful, peaceful environment.
The Water
Neerim East enjoys a reliable long-term rainfall average of 1100 mm.
Two large, spring and creek fed permanent dams on the property provide a 56 Megalitre Irrigation licence which is available to the purchaser. A diesel pump sends water through an underground pipeline to large concrete tank which reticulates to stock troughs throughout the farm
Rainwater tanks supply 72,000 litres of household water via a pressure pump. This supply has always been ample for the house however the pipeline could easily be extended to the garden if required. In short, water supply has never been an issue.
