A MAGNIFICENT farmlet consisting of 6.3 acres with excellent fencing, only 7.5 kilometres from Inverloch. The atrium-style home consists of two large bedrooms, plus a study, one bathroom, one laundry, a separate toilet, and an open living plan that best captures 180° water views.
High ceilings with windows centrally located in the second tier of the roof structure let in abundant daylight, lending the house to be naturally bright inside.
The kitchen is made with Tasmanian Blackwood, crafted by Don Bruce Kitchens, and has a walk-in pantry. There is a gas stove and oven as well as a “Coonara” type gas heater. The hot water service is an instantaneous gas system mounted on the outside of the house. There is also an “Ultimate” wood heater in the living room.
The home has an open living plan to best capture the sweeping water views of Anderson Inlet.
In front of the main living room, you can step out onto a large deck, from which you can enjoy the views from outside.
At the rear of the house, there is a large carport providing direct access to the home. Outside, there is an easy-to-maintain garden as well as an orchard with a number of mature, established fruit trees covered in a dome with netting to keep pests and animals out.
There is a large farm shed, consisting of a double lock-up section with two roller doors, and a carport attached as part of the shed. The carport is 5.2 metres wide, the shed is 8.25 metres wide, a total of 13 metres and the shed and carport are 12 metres deep. The lock-up shed has a concrete floor and workbench located along the back wall.
There is also a separate building that houses the infrastructure for the “off-grid” systems. The infrastructure comprises twin solar panel arrays maintaining a 69kw 48-volt AGM Battery Bank and 8kw 240-volt power inverter system.
The system is complimented by a 15kva Lister diesel generator set which can provide battery charging redundancy (seldom required) or back up power automatically to the residence. The battery bank was recently replaced and upgraded in August 2024.
There is one large paddock that has some natural messmate and tea tree bushes. This is where the cattle run. The block is currently running eight steers.
Heavy grey soil, with good pasture, clover and native grasses, the paddock is serviced by a dam for water.
The property is a very unique farmlet that lends itself to a number of rural-based pursuits, including cattle, horses, sheep, and poultry.
The property is quite unique in the fact that it is elevated and there are no immediate neighbours. It is a very quiet and peaceful location, and the views are second to none. It is the only residential property that has access from Shingler Road.
It is only 7.5 kilometres from Inverloch and 19 kilometres from the major regional centre of Wonthaggi. It is also only 25 kilometres from Leongatha, another large regional town and 149 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD.
The land has been in the same family since 1968. The vendor is downsizing and planning a move to a house in Inverloch. This is a truly unique farmlet with a wonderful position. Inspection is strictly by appointment with the selling agent.
