CHARMING BARN-STYLE LIVING WITH SWEEPING RURAL VIEWS
Enjoy the peace and freedom of country living on just under 7 acres of flat, fertile land, where sweeping views across neighbouring farmland and rolling South Gippsland hills create a stunning backdrop. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom barn-style home offers a versatile floorplan, excellent infrastructure and a well-rounded lifestyle opportunity for families, horse enthusiasts or those seeking a rural escape without sacrificing convenience.
A welcoming front verandah leads into the residence, where a flexible and functional layout unfolds across two levels. The heart of the home is the warm and inviting Blackwood timber kitchen, complete with a Savoir-Faire gas cooktop, electric double oven, dishwasher, island bench and corner pantry. Positioned to take full advantage of the picturesque rural outlook, it connects seamlessly to the open-plan living and dining area, where timber-lined walls and large windows enhance the sense of light and warmth. Comfort is well catered for with solid fuel heating and reverse cycle air conditioning. For added peace of mind, the home is also generator compatible, with a changeover switch already installed at the switchboard.
A second living area with raked timber-lined ceilings adds further versatility, ideal as a rumpus room, home office or potential fourth bedroom. The master bedroom is generously sized and features a walk-in robe and updated ensuite. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms feature cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and elevated rural outlooks, capturing the character and charm that make this home so unique. The main bathroom has been tastefully renovated, while the spacious laundry offers practicality with direct external access. Recent improvements, including several updated windows, further enhance the property’s appeal.
Outdoors, the property is exceptionally well equipped for lifestyle living, with seven well-fenced paddocks serviced by water, shelters for animals, two horse stables adjoining the northern side of the shed, and a substantial new 20m x 2.5m chicken/animal shed complete with a concrete floor. A 6m x 9m barn-style shed with concrete floor, power, workshop and mezzanine storage is complemented by an additional 4m x 6m carport. Water security is well catered for with five tanks totalling approximately 115,000 litres, while established gardens and a picturesque rose garden create a beautiful setting around the home. North and east-facing verandahs provide the perfect place to relax and take in the peaceful surrounds and expansive countryside views.
Located just minutes from Boolarra township, approximately 30 minutes from the Latrobe Valley and within easy reach of Leongatha and the wider South Gippsland region, the property offers an enviable balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. School bus access at the end of the driveway enhances its appeal for families seeking a country lifestyle without compromising on accessibility.
