SET across 26.2 acres (10.82ha) in one of Bellbrae\u2019s most private and peaceful pockets, this is a property that has undergone a major reset <\/strong>\u2013 not polished, not finished, but full of genuine potential.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The owner has spent considerable time simplifying the land, bringing machinery in to remove old fencing, outdated horse infrastructure, retaining walls and overgrown garden areas that had built up over many years. What remains is a more open, workable holding \u2013 still raw in places, but now far easier to shape into whatever vision comes next.<\/p>\n

The home has also seen significant renovation and extension works, pushing it well forward while leaving scope for a new owner to complete the final stages to their own taste.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

High ceilings, an open fireplace and striking New York-style steel windows frame the rural outlook, while the redesigned open-plan living and dining zone with butler\u2019s pantry forms the heart of the home.<\/p>\n

The bedroom wing has been reimagined with mezzanine levels to each room, creating flexible spaces for kids, guests or creative use. The master suite includes a powder room and offers further opportunity to personalise the finish.<\/p>\n

A separate studio sits away from the main residence: ideal for guests, a workspace or studio environment. Shedding includes workshop and machinery storage, well suited to trades, hobbies or rural living.<\/p>\n

The land itself is honest acreage \u2013 paddocks that have rested after years of horse use, two dams, water tanks and a northern aspect providing strong foundations for future improvement.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a manicured estate; it\u2019s a Bellbrae lifestyle property ready for the next owner to add their own vision.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With much of the heavy work already completed and about $150,000 remaining to take the home to its next level, this represents a rare opportunity to buy into Bellbrae with flexibility and upside.<\/p>\n

The vendor is genuine about selling and open to constructive discussions, making this an opportunity well worth exploring.<\/p>\n
