Outstanding Country Lifestyle

Most people who live in town, from time to time, have dreams of making the move to an acreage lifestyle property that’s still close to where they live now.

For some it’s a lifestyle choice, others it’s the desire to be more self sufficient and work from home or create a business that complements living on acreage with neighbours few and far between, and then there are those that just want to get the hell out of town.

Rural property specialists, HF Richardson, have recently listed a superb opportunity to purchase a beautifully presented and wonderfully positioned lifestyle property within the highly sought-after Buckley area.

Bordering the premium rural lifestyle pockets of Gnarwarre and Mt Moriac, 1570 Princes Highway in Buckley is an expansive country holding covering approximately 58 acres and provides the perfect mix of a quiet country life with the convenience of being so close to Geelong and the famed Surf Coast beaches.

Real estate sales manager Matt Poustie said this property is truly a beautiful farm.

“58 acres in the Buckley/Gnarwarre/Mt Moriac region is certainly hard to come by and it should be well-competed for,” Mr Poustie said.

“The homestead sits in an elevated position with beautiful garden surrounds and is complimented with spacious shedding and a good paddock structure.

“The property generally enjoys nice free-draining productive sandy loam soil and will naturally lend itself to a variety of farming pursuits including hay production and equine activities.”

The spacious family home comprises a modern, open plan kitchen/meals area with electric oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher, breakfast bench, ample cupboard space, separate lounge with fireplace and Coonara, formal dining, reverse cycle heating/cooling and hardwood floors throughout.

There are four generous sized bedrooms (master retreat with walk-in-robe and ensuite, fourth bedroom currently set up as an office), a large central family bathroom with claw-foot bath, a separate, spacious laundry, double garage and outdoor alfresco area under the wrap-around verandah which enjoys lovely views over the paddocks and established native gardens.

The gently-sloping land is divided into five main paddocks with good shelter belts, a large dam, approximately 100,000 litres of tank water, four-bay machinery shed, dog kennels/dog run, chook pen, hayshed and stockyards.

All of this is located within easy access to the Waurn Ponds shopping centre, Waurn Ponds train station, Deakin University, Epworth Hospital, Surf Coast, Geelong CBD and Melbourne CBD via the Ring Road.

A truly rare opportunity to secure premium real estate in a highly appreciating area!
