224 Forest Road, Orbost, VIC 3888

Two dwellings combined as one - on a fabulous farmlet of 3.5 acres. Live in the main dwelling and rent out the single bedroom unit for additional income! The unit is very practical for elderly parents or teenager still living at home and finding it hard to get into the rental market.

Best of both worlds - semi-rural living on the edge of town. At the end of Forest Road, Orbost sits a well-presented double storey, double brick, five-bedroom home including a one bedroom self-contained unit on 3.5 acres (also an option to buy an additional adjoining 10.7 acres of semi-rural land - POA). Buy both allotments combined or purchase the house on the 3.5 acres for $825,000 - $849,000 with a long sprawling driveway leading to a two bay garage under the house and also wraps around to an open four bay powered shed and cattle yards. A mixture of modern living with a rural feel.
