If space, lifestyle, and peace of mind are high on your agenda, then this superb rural property in the tightly-held Gherang hamlet will not disappoint.

The substantial family residence, sitting on a rare 60 acre allotment at 275 Gherang Road, offers the best of country living within close proximity of the famed Surf Coast beaches and the Geelong CBD.

Offering maximum privacy, this much-loved family home is tucked away behind an established tree line taking advantage of the beautiful rural setting and paddock views.

“Located in one of the Surf Coast’s premium hinterland lifestyle pockets of Gherang, this property is sure to take the stress away as soon as you drive in the gate to your own private getaway,” Mr Poustie said.

“Positioned perfectly at the gateway to the Otways, this is true country living that is still close to all the services you need.

“There are multiple options for additional income with this well-presented working farm including equine activities/agistment, hay production, livestock grazing or caravan storage subject to council approval.”

Featuring four bedrooms with the master including ensuite and parents’ retreat with split system heating/cooling, a large study or fifth bedroom, a separate home office, open plan kitchen (electric oven and cooktop, dishwasher and breakfast bar) with an adjoining meals space, north-facing deck for morning coffees and a spacious family lounge with wood fire and split system heating/cooling.

The family lounge space connects seamlessly to the undercover decked alfresco area, perfect for summer BBQs or afternoon drinks with the beautiful country vista as your backdrop.

The home is well-designed with the master wing on the west side of the house and the three remaining bedrooms on the eastern side, with a large family bathroom servicing the “kids’ wing” including a bath, shower and separate toilet.

The property also benefits from a large indoor mudroom and adjoining single garage, handy additions after a day of horse riding or farm activities.

This end of the home also features a bonus rumpus room, perfect for children’s sleepovers or as a cinema or break-out space, plus a large walk-in linen closet/storage room.

Externally the property is presented in immaculate condition with consistent fertiliser use and a simplified paddock structure providing buyers with a blank canvas to customise as they see fit, or continue with a mixed farming approach of horses, cattle/sheep and hay production.
