A rare opportunity exists to purchase a lifestyle in the highlands of Trawool. A place of peace and tranquility that is easy to find and exciting to explore, just over 100kms from Melbourne's CBD with easy access off the Goulburn Valley Highway to Lot 1. Enjoy your perfect getaway!
Driving through the picturesque Trawool district with outstanding views of the valley, you might just miss the hidden gem namely 'Yambercoona' which has been in the Britton family ownership since 1962 and will be reluctantly offered for sale in 2 separate lots by public auction, creating a very rare lifestyle opportunity for buyers.
Lot 1 - The Homestead - comprises 18.08 Ha (44 Acres) of arable grazing land to support beef cattle or sheep grazing or just add a couple of stables and round yard for the horse enthusiasts who love to explore on horseback. There is nowhere else you would rather be on a hot summer's day than in the gardens of 'Yambercoona'. Hidden beneath the canopy of beautiful established trees is the homestead and gardens, the perfect place to sit and ponder. Lush green lawns and colourful garden beds are a stand-out feature with abundant birdlife. The home is original and well-kept with period features, circa 1940. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a comfortable lounge room with beautiful window views of the garden plus a second living/dining area and a well-appointed country-style kitchen. Town water is connected to the home which is definitely an added bonus for out of town living.
There is so much history here including the old dairy that could be converted into living space at the back door of the home, old historic stables in need of repair, and a very good machinery shed (15m x 11m x 6m approx.) with concrete floor and power to suit the tradesman. The property is well-fenced with a house paddock to suit pets and ponies and is bounded by the Falls Creek on the Southside and hilltop views from the back paddock. The land is arable grazing land with lovely shade trees throughout and secure water with a large tank and dam providing gravity fed water to the home, gardens and troughs.
Lot 2 is known as the 'mountain block' - easy to find and exciting to explore, comprising 127 Ha (316 Acres) approximately of Trawool high country. Located just South of Lot 1, at the top of Falls Creek Road (no-through road) is this untapped mountain terrain. A short walk into the property finds a granite base and water feature, the perfect campsite or home site for your dream home (STCA) overlooking the valley. The balance of the land is dense mountain terrain ideal for mountain walking, horse riding, trail bike enthusiasts, or four-wheel drive experts to consider. Time is endless when exploring the undulating land with stunning views of the Trawool Valley, surrounding countryside, and rocky outcrops.
The WOW factor is the access to the creek, rocky outcrops, and mountain terrain to explore with trickling waterfalls and breathtaking views of the Trawool Valley whilst the highly recommended tourist attractions of the Trawool Shed Café & Cottages and The Trawool Estate are only a short stroll North and South of this property with the Great Victorian Rail Trail running past the front gate. The Trawool Reservoir almost backs up to the back of this lot with an amazing blue stone look, granite wall. Invite your friends and extended family for a weekend away and enjoy visiting local wineries with Fowles Winery, Avenel (30km) and Mitchelton Wines (40km) whilst Seymour(13km) and Broadford (28km) are close by for your everyday supplies or train services.
The perfect country hideaway!
