Opportunity to live the good life
With sustainability and self sufficiency becoming a desirable lifestyle choice in a busy modern world, this 20 acre property is a unique opportunity.
Located in picturesque Jindivick, just over ten minutes drive from Warragul or Drouin, number 1103 Main Neerim Road combines the privacy of rural living without isolation.
The property is a fascinating mix of history, rustic charm and possible business opportunities.
One of the highlights is the remnants of gardens and fruit trees of the original homestead, which is now long gone.
In particular, a spectacular oak tree thought to be over 100 years old and a quaint worker’s hut.
More recent landscaping includes a copse of silver birch, hedged laurel along the roadside and a more formal garden of box hedging, lavender and roses.
Improvements comprise:
● Three bedroom, two level chalet style home with tandem carport.
● Storage/workshop near the residence.
● Three bay hay/ machinery shed
● Four bay shed.
● Colorbond shed with hot and cold water, 2.4m x 3.6m coolroom and auto roller door.
● Steel stockyards with crush and generous turning space for trucks and large vehicles.
● Second set of yards with a loading race at the roadside
● Multiple poultry runs.
● Extensive vegetable plots – some covered.
● Over 40 fruit trees of assorted citrus, stone, apple and pear.
All three sheds include power.
Tanks with 80,000 litre capacity and metered access to the Tarago River provide an abundant water supply.
Water is pumped to a header tank and gravity fed to troughs throughout the property.
The acreage is divided into 16 paddocks of varying sizes, hot wired along the top and bottom for fox and rabbit control and there are shelter belts for stock.
Previously run with free range chickens, the pastures have been organically fertilised and kept free naturally from pests.
A sealed driveway sweeps past the collection of magnificent trees and along to the residence, sited on the high point of the acreage.
Timber is a warm feature of the interior with laminate flooring, dado and a staircase leading to the second level.
A spacious open plan living area and kitchen, bedroom three with mirrored robes and a builtin desk, combined bathroom/laundry and a separate toilet are found on the ground floor.
Blackwood kitchen cabinetry and exposed beams enhance the provincial theme.
Quality appliances include a Smeg 900mm cooker set in front of a reclaimed brick feature wall and a Bosch dishwasher.
Multiple drawers, overheads, small appliance cupboard, pull-out pantry and a cupboard under the nearby stairs provide ample storage.
A great asset is the large, mobile island bench which can be moved around to suit your needs.
French doors on the east aspect lead to a gravel terrace.
The bathroom/ laundry includes chequered tiled flooring, pedestal basin, shower, claw foot bath, tub, taps for a washing machine and outside access to a covered porch.
On the upper floor are the main bedroom with his-andher robes plus the second bedroom.
Both bedrooms have fantastic views across the surrounding countryside.
Split system air conditioning and a solid fuel heater in the living area, together with ceiling fans on both levels, maintain year-round comfort whilst a 3kw solar unit reduces energy costs.
This property offers a unique opportunity to live a sustainable, self sufficient lifestyle in comfort, privacy and in a superb setting, all within a short drive of town services.
