Escape to the country 10 acres offering seclusion, serenity and so much more Breathe

the fresh country air on your own ten acres of beautiful West Gippsland land, surrounded by a bushland reserve and positioned at the very end of a private no through road. Just over 100 kilometres east of Melbourne, near the small hamlet of Rokeby, it is precisely a 12 minute drive from the Drouin exit Ramp on the Freeway to this property where you can leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and relax into the serenity.

Of course, this property could be a great option for anyone wanting a tree change and choosing to work from home for the large part of the week, but still be able to make the office in town, when required, without too much stress. Best of both worlds. Private gates and a treed driveway make it only just possible to see the home from the road’s end. Comfortably nestled amidst a lovely setting, the home enjoys amazing views across the adjoining bush reserve and the concrete drive continues past the home to the shedding and land, more on that later. There are three bedrooms in the two storey home, with an impressive cathedral ceiling over the spacious main living area, which opens to an extensive deck with views to the bushland and there’s also access to the pool and sun deck. Downstairs, the extensive living area is open plan and the kitchen includes a full pantry, electric cooker and dishwasher and the adjoining dining area and family space flooring includes both Hardwood timber and carpet. This is a light filled space thanks to large windows on three sides and offers a relaxed mode of living. Ducted heating and cooling add to the creature comfort and there’s a centrally positioned solid fuel heater – just perfect for wintery nights and to add great ambience to the interior.

Two bedrooms, the laundry and the family bathroom, which includes a clawfoot bath and vintage décor, are all downstairs, whilst the private main bedroom retreat occupies most of the second level and features a balcony overlooking the living space below plus a large dormer window. Quality fittings and fixtures have been used throughout and the home is a very cosy retreat set amidst naturally beautiful landscaping, including tree ferns with a backdrop of native bush. Fully fenced into multiple paddocks, the acreage is well set up for horses or other small animals and there is a dam for stock and garden water which is reticulated to troughs across the property. Tank water supplies the home. Shedding includes a large workshop 22m x 7.5m with two open bays and two bays occupied by a large lockable workshop and storage area plus a large outbuilding which has been used guest bedroom accommodation and could easily convert to an office.

Fruit trees thrive here and there’s potential to extend the veggie patch plus an extensive chook run is already in place. A solar system on the shedding feeds into the grid.

It is just ten minutes’ drive to Warragul from here, the same to Drouin and even less to Neerim South, making this a well located and resourced location. Rokeby itself is famous for its monthly Community Market which was one of the first in the region; it’s also renowned for the walking, cycling and riding pathways of the Rokeby Rail Trail which follows the tracks along part of the line which ran to Noojee, and despite having no actual hub besides the public hall, there is a strong sense of community amongst the residents.

This property takes seclusion and relaxation to the next level, but its location still allows for easy access to town and the city as required. Contact Jackie Shearer from Elders Real Estate in Yarragon on 0437 966 769 to discuss the detail and to arrange your private inspection.

The ten acres and home at 80 Tymkin Road in Rokeby is on the market for $ 895,000.
