Laid back country living
Tucked into the rolling hills of Neerim South, this approximate 110 acre rural holding is full of charm and lifestyle possibilities. Positioned at the end of a quiet country road, the property has a sense of privacy and isolation yet is less than a five minute drive from the Neerim South township and 15 minutes from Warragul, Drouin and the freeway. The property, comprising six titles, is gently undulating with fertile, sandy loam soils, well fenced with central laneway access and boasts Tarago River frontage. Infrastructure includes a character weatherboard homestead, three bay machinery shed, disused dairy converted to
a workshop, high clearance single carport and a three car open garage. Excellent stockyards and town water connection are further features, there is also a pumping licence available from the river. Oozing history and old world appeal, parts of the residence date back 100 years, whilst more recent improvements have continued the country homestead theme. Timber floorboards, soaring timber lined ceilings, sash windows, dado and two lovely old brick fireplaces are original features.
Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, Blackwood kitchen with high end appliances, two living areas and a separate dining room are included in the spacious floorplan.
The wrap around verandah is ideal to pull up a chair and soak up the splendid views which stretch out across the surrounding farmland to the wooded hills beyond. A high waisted stained glass front door leads into a relaxed living area which serves as a junction between the original section of the homestead and the new. Adjoining is the dining room with a wood heater set into the fireplace, then along to the kitchen. Striking black stone counter tops and crafted Blackwood cabinetry create an inviting provincial style in the kitchen. Quality appliances feature an Ilve gas cooktop, under bench oven and a Smeg dishwasher. A large walk-in larder allows ample storage and accommodates the fridge and freezer. Adjacent to the dining room is one of the bedrooms featuring an open fireplace with carved timber surrounds.
The more recent extension incorporates the second, spacious living room and the three remaining bedrooms, including the huge main bedroom with a walk-in robe and an ensuite.
A solid fuel heater, split system air conditioner and a ceiling fan in the living room maintain climate control. Ceiling fans are also found in all of the bedrooms. Positioned at the rear of the layout are the laundry, a separate toilet, family bathroom and outside access to the rear verandah. Both bathrooms feature a stunning period style timber vanity, shower and traditional tiling, the family bathroom also has a claw foot bath and quaint stained glass window. Carpets in the bedrooms and timber blinds throughout are further inclusions. Number 70 Town Road, Neerim South is a unique and exciting opportunity to be part of the next chapter of this enchanting property.
