LOCATION:
A premium lifestyle property of 44.11 acres (17.85ha) on the banks of the Hopkins River, one of the pristine rivers of Western Victoria, with title to the middle of the stream. Situated in a most sought after and closely held area of Victoria.
Only 3km. from Allansford and 13km. (15 minutes drive) from Warrnambool.
SETTING:
A magnificent lay of land, with lush, well drained and productive loam. Quality fencing and well positioned tree plantation.
The property is complemented by a superb architect designed homestead of 28 squares, spectacularly positioned on a high easterly river bank to capture the sweeping views of the stream, and sited only 20 metres from the water. Approximately 300 metres of absolute river frontage. Established native trees circle the house, to provide shade and shelter and attract birdlife.
A relaxing environment with abounding recreational opportunities for fishing, canoeing, swimming or strolling.
HOME:
The prestigious and distinctive home features 4 generous bedrooms (with ensuite off the master bedroom), bathroom, an office/study, and an open plan kitchen and dining room, stepping down into a wonderful family room with vaulted ceiling. A separate formal lounge room is off the spacious entrance foyer. Blackwood and cedar timbers are features of many rooms. Outside decking takes in the splendour of the river setting. A dual lock up garage connects to the house. A slow combustion wood burner heats the family room, while the lounge room is heated by an open fire. Two split-level reverse cycle air conditioners cool the family areas of the house, and supplement the heating.
Paving and manicured lawn surround the house, with a sheltered courtyard. An excellent orchard provides an abundance of fruit, and a vegetable garden grows prize crops in season.
WATER SUPPLY:
20,000 gallons of rainwater in two 10,000 gallon inground tanks supply all domestic needs. A garden and stock watering system supplies river water via a submersible pump. A 60 megalitre surface water irrigation licence is included in the sale, enabling ample water access for summer pasture irrigation or other pastoral pursuits.
