Exquisitely finished and generously proportioned, the home features two spacious living areas, three bedrooms (the master with well sized ensuite and walk in wardrobe), a family bathroom, a separate study or office, and a premium kitchen with a walk-in pantry, all complemented by inviting patio and decking areas viewed through expansive glass areas running along both sides of the home. With a 6-star energy rating, double glazing, and Smeg appliances, including a 700W oven, 5-burner stove, and dishwasher, the home is built for both style and sustainability.

A pergola draped with deciduous vines offers cool shade in summer and abundant light during the winter months.

The property also boasts a 3.6 kW solar system and a new 260-litre electric heat pump hot water system. Recently repainted interiors add a fresh touch to this immaculate home.

Outside, a long tree-lined driveway leads to a beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance garden complete with terracing, expansive lawns, and a well-established, productive vegetable garden and orchard. Entertain outdoors while taking in the stunning views or enjoy the property?s five well-fenced paddocks. The home is serviced by a 100,000-litre water tank and a wastewater recycling system and a 2 megalitre surface water licence and extra tanks at the cabin and both sheds ensure water will never be an issue.

A separate, recently renovated, two-bedroom dwelling on the property provides a private retreat for guests or extended family, complete with its own bathroom and also including Daikin split system heating and cooling and a Nectre wood heater. Also, there?s a cozy shed with a fireplace perfect for entertaining, a workshop area, and ample parking. This space also offers income potential in this popular tourist area.

For practicality, there?s a double garage (9x6m) with a workbench near the house, and a stockyard with a crush located at a second property entrance. The land includes both upper and riverfront paddocks, 40 acres of natural forest and an 11-acre Crown riverfront lease, totalling approximately 91 acres. The riverfront paddocks offer idyllic camping spots among shady trees, where you can watch wildlife including wallabies, king parrots, koalas, and echidnas. Swim or fish in the many waterholes, and if you're lucky, you might spot a platypus.

This property provides unmatched privacy and tranquility, all within easy reach of Colac (20 minutes), Geelong (1 hour), and Melbourne (2 hours).
