231-249 Whitcombes Road in Drysdale sits on a sprawling, well-equipped 11 acres.

LOOKING for that perfect patch of land to stretch your legs and let the kids run free, or run your horses or other animals while living in absolute luxury? This property on the outskirts of Drysdale fits the bill perfectly.

Listed through Bellarine Property, 231-249  Whitcombes Road in Drysdale sits on a sprawling well-equipped 11 acres offering the best of country life with coastal convenience.

Picture waking up to a glorious sunrise over the rolling hills of Drysdale, Clifton Springs and beyond, coffee in hand you take a seat on the wide verandah wondering how you lived any other way.

With a superb hilltop position, this delightful property provides an outstanding lifestyle opportunity not to be missed, with the convenience of town and premier schooling only five minutes away.

Bellarine Property team leader Lee Martin said that this was one of the most amazing semi-rural properties he had the pleasure of listing.

“You just don’t see an acreage property like this, with everything it has on offer, and so close to  town, come to market very often.

“The best of country living is assured with established shelter belts, top notch horse infrastructure including a variety of well fenced paddocks, ample shedding and stables along with an amazing home that boasts a swimming pool and rolling country views.”

The original homestead with large addition is only minutes from Drysdale village and offers a well-zoned family floorplann providing options for teenagers or a possible B&B opportunity.

External and internal finishes incorporate recycled materials adding traditional character and a wide verandah wraps the north and west elevations for a quintessential country feel.

Upon entry, a large formal living space overlooks the north facing pool and farm boundary, inside boasts high ornate ceilings with large picture and bay windows inviting gorgeous views inside.

A recycled brick open fireplace in the living is a great spot to gather on a cold winter’s night and the open plan kitchen and living zones enjoy countryside views, framed by large timber windows.

Big enough to host any occasion, entertaining flows easily out to the pool or covered verandah.

Warm Tasmanian Oak lines the kitchen with large breakfast bar, an inviting and social space with a large corner pantry, 900mm gas cooker, and new dishwasher cater well to family life.

Take a dip in the solar heated salt chlorinated pool that enjoys all year sun with a northerly aspect.

The property contains two fenced handling yards and four paddocks, as well as a huge raised garden beds for a self-sufficient lifestyle.

A large shed with high clearance for “toys” and caravans along with an additional hay shed provide ample undercover room for all your needs.

Equine enthusiasts will love the secure stables at the other end of the shed and the 20 by 50 metre arena. On a clear day on your ride, you can see out to Geelong and across the bay to Williamstown.

This premium location strikes the perfect balance of a peaceful country lifestyle, with all the convenience required for a modern family.
