"Blairlogie", Meerlieu, offered for the first time in 20 years, is a peaceful 184-acre lifestyle property, with plenty of sheds and quiet, rural appeal.
A long driveway through the paddocks and established trees brings you to the three-bedroom home, sheds and cottage in the centre of the property, away from everyone, yet not too far from town.
The land is fenced into 10 paddocks of different sizes and has a stocking rate of 12 DSE to the hectare, with Toms Creek meandering around the northern boundary on its way down to the Gippsland Lakes system.
There's room for the boat in the shed with a four-bay machinery shed, measuring 24mx6m, with one bay enclosed, as well as a hay shed, which fits about 160 five-foot round bales, measuring 12.5m x 9.5m.
There is also a three-stand shearing shed, with enough undercover shedding to keep two shearers busy for a day and a half, steel yards and a steel loading race.
The tidy home has a lovely verandah on the north side, fresh paint and floorboards inside the entrance, with a renovated bathroom to the side, easily accessed from outside.
Stepping through to the kitchen, the feature is the Rayburn Royal wood stove, which can be used for cooking, warming your kettle all winter, and keeping the chill from the room.
The formal dining room has an open fire, the room then merges into a loungeroom with its own Ultimate wood heater, and both rooms feature ornate ceilings.
The large main bedroom has a walk-in-robe and an ensuite with a double shower, importantly the home has two electric hot water services, making sure the bathrooms don't run out of hot water.
The second and third bedrooms also have fresh paint and room to move, with a separate space which would make an ideal office.
Additional accommodation on "Blairlogie" comes in the form of a two-bedroom, one bathroom cottage, complete with a loungeroom, kitchenette and bathroom, perfect for visitors or an Airbnb set-up.
There is a bore on the property with a flow rate of 24,000 gallons an hour, which has a 6-inch steel pipe and a 5-inch PVC sleeve inside it, with a stainless-steel screen at the base. The property also includes a 10m/l irrigation water licence.
An added bonus is the Meerlieu community, which is welcoming and engaging with events at the nearby Meerlieu Hall bringing people together often.
"Blairlogie" is definitely worth the time for a look around, especially for those who like the water, with Hollands Landing just 14 minutes down the road.
Nearby towns include Bairnsdale, half an hour's drive east and Stratford just 25 minutes to the west.
