Nestled in the glorious rolling hills between Beveridge and Darraweit Guim, and just 7.5 kms from the edge of Melbourne's Urban Growth Boundary and 52 kms from Melbourne's CBD, this unique property with an 1860 cottage made from local stone and a modern barn-style shed with self-contained accommodation provides an ideally located weekender, permanent country lifestyle or Air B&B accommodation option.
The stone cottage is simply delightful. Whilst retaining its original façade it is accompanied by a well-designed brick extension to the rear. The cottage includes three bedrooms, including a main bedroom with ensuite. There is also a fully equipped kitchen adjoining a meals area, elegant lounge with superb built-in cabinetry and open fireplace, plus a bathroom/laundry. The cottage is warmed by a gas fired forced hot air heating system and a slow combustion heater fire.
The colorbond American barn-style shed includes a bedroom, open plan kitchen, meals and lounge area and bathroom along with a wood fire and R/C split system. There is also an upstairs games room of 60 sqm. The remainder of the shed provides workshop space and lockable accommodation for up to four vehicles or farm equipment via double roller doors one of which is remote controlled.
The land is undulating and predominantly open grazing country with scattered trees and is currently divided into two paddocks which are easily made into four. The property includes three dams, a bore and 80KL of tank water storage.
Rarely is this blend of picturesque country and charming history offered for sale so close to Melbourne. We invite your inspection.
