<\/p>\nYOU would think that finding a 40-acre established rural oasis smack bang between Geelong and Torquay would be a difficult challenge. It is, but it is not impossible.<\/p>\n
HF Richardson Property has listed exactly that at 115 Russells Road, Mount Duneed: a well-established rural holding that balances privacy, space and proximity to the Surf Coast and Geelong.<\/p>\n
Set at the end of a tree-lined driveway, the homestead sits within bushland surrounds, offering a sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of town.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inside, modern interiors and generous glazing bring in natural light, reinforcing the home’s scale and connection to the landscape.<\/p>\n
HF Richardson senior sales professional Tony Hyde described the property as a “magnificent” retreat in a sought-after part of Mount Duneed.<\/p>\n
“The vendors have loved every minute living here and raising their family,” Hyde said.<\/p>\n
“The layout and size of the homestead, pool and the beautiful established gardens is very impressive and will appeal to families. All the hard work has been done \u2013 just move in and enjoy.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan living and dining area, which enjoys a sunlit northerly aspect with views over the gardens, fire pit and trees swaying in the breeze.<\/p>\n
It’s the perfect place to unwind over a wine at the end of a busy day with the comfort of a wood fire, double glazed windows and seamless indoor-outdoor flow that complements the rural location.<\/p>\n
The adjoining open-plan gourmet kitchen is a chef’s delight, with Ilve electric double oven and gas cooktops, dishwasher, breakfast bar, ample cupboard space, walk-in pantry with wine storage plus a servery window out to the undercover alfresco dining and expansive timber decking.<\/p>\n
Accommodation is extensive, with seven bedrooms including a main suite with walk-in robe and en suite, plus a guest room with its own renovated en suite.<\/p>\n

Multiple living zones \u2013 including a separate lounge, den and home office \u2013 provide flexibility for larger households.<\/p>\n
A family bathroom, large laundry with boot room and a double garage with workshop complete the internal layout.<\/p>\n
A salt-chlorinated, solar-heated in-ground pool will be a hit with the kids and the beautiful established gardens wrap around the home, giving a great sense of calm and rural tranquillity.<\/p>\n
The wider property is divided into four paddocks with town water-connected troughs, supported by two dams and additional tank storage.<\/p>\n
