MULTIPLE residences, plenty of space and views to the bush and the beach are the hallmarks of this Lorne hinterland retreat.

“Blanketleaf” at 680 Erskine Road is a 4.45-hectare block on the edge of the Great Otway National Park at a private property that remains in easy reach of Lorne.

The property is the former site of the Erskine Falls tea rooms and strawberry farm that date back to the 19th century.

The listing includes two separate residences plus a studio and spacious shed connected to power, providing a host of opportunities to accommodate, entertain, work and relax.

The second house from circa-2000 is an Andy Sporgis design geared towards sustainable living including a classic wood fire and overlooking the garden.

An orchard, vegetable garden and blackwood plantation are all included on the grounds that are on the doorstep of Erskine Falls and its walking tracks.

Colac to Coast Real Estate is selling this property for an expected price range of between $2.65 million and $2.85 million.

An open house is on Sunday (January 22) from 12pm.
