Country retreat with breathtaking rural views

SOMETIMES living in town as a tradie, or for those accumulating big boy toys, you just need a bit more room to spread out.

Maybe you have an animal or two, or are considering a pony — then its acres you need and a lifestyle you’re chasing.

If this is what you’re looking for then Charles Stewart Real Estate may just have the answer with 725 Lavers Hill-Cobden Road in Jancourt East, a rural retreat on just under four acres, close to Cobden and central to Camperdown, Timboon and Colac.

This is a great opportunity for a hobby farmer or tradesperson to live the country lifestyle while being close to amenities.

Selling agent Josh Lamanna said the fully renovated family home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and rural tranquility.

“This would perfect for those struggling to squeeze everything in on a town block,” Mr Lamanna said.

“Central to several popular regional Colac district communities, acreage living like this can be a very appealing option for those looking to combine lifestyle with work.

“The home is very modern and comfortable, with heaps of room to add more shedding and infrastructure to support your lifestyle or work.”

Set on a manageable lifestyle allotment, the home features three generous bedrooms, all with built-in robes and ceiling fans.

The light-filled kitchen and dining area is fitted with top-quality fixtures and a spacious walk-in pantry, while the separate lounge offers year-round comfort with solid fuel heating and a reverse cycle air conditioner.

A central family bathroom includes a separate bath and shower, designed to suit busy family living.

The real showstopper is the expansive 20m x 5m north-facing undercover entertaining area — perfect for barbecues, gatherings, or simply relaxing while soaking up stunning panoramic rural views, sunrises, and sunsets.

For the hobby farmer or tradesperson, a huge 7m x 17m lock-up garage with concrete flooring and power offers endless potential, with the added benefit of a mezzanine and small adults retreat area complete with a bar and TV.

The property also features stock yards with race and crush, two main paddocks with troughs connected to the house tanks, and a holding paddock — ideal for running livestock.

Additional highlights include 80,000 litres of rainwater storage, productive veggie garden, back-up generator and new external and internal farm fencing.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a move-in-ready, low-maintenance lifestyle property with all the hard work done.
