Rarely does a property arrive that renders compromise entirely unnecessary. This is one of those properties. For more detailed information visit the dedicated property website at www.22nasonstreet.com Aptly named "Waikare" for the trickling waters of the seasonal creek that winds through the rear of the property, this exquisitely renovated homestead carries a quiet poetry before you even step through the gate. The sound of water moving over river rocks and a small waterfall adds a layer of serenity that simply cannot be manufactured. Sitting on a rare level two-acre allotment in the heart of historic Korumburra, this is the kind of turn-key acquisition that affluent city buyers spend years searching for and seldom find. Everything has been done. Everything has been done beautifully. From both the front and rear verandahs, sweeping panoramas of the Gippsland countryside unfold in every direction. Yet for all its pastoral serenity, this is not a property that demands you surrender your lifestyle. A short stroll from the front gate delivers you directly into a growing township that punches well above its size. Korumburra offers a large supermarket, bakeries, niche boutiques, cafes, the award-winning Burra Brewing Co, The Middle pub, and the regionally renowned Rainbow Palace. Country life, without a single sacrifice. A Home That Stops You In The Doorway Step through the front door and the story begins immediately. Original leadlight stained glass panels draw the eye, while restored Baltic Pine floors finished in a premium German coating greet you with a warm honey satin feel that only genuine heritage timber can provide. A warm neutral colour palette takes quiet inspiration from the surrounding blue gum eucalyptus trees, creating a retreat-like ambience that feels both grounded and effortlessly refined. Soaring high ceilings, elegant dado walls, and the considered bones of a genuine period homestead surround you, while every modern comfort has been thoughtfully integrated. All original double hung sash windows have been meticulously restored with double glazing and weather seals, with underfloor, ceiling and wall insulation installed throughout. Three generously proportioned bedrooms each carry their own distinct character, dressed in classic architectural features, brand new carpet, built-in wardrobes, and insulating plantation shutters. The Kitchen and Living Heart The fully renovated kitchen and dining area is where the homestead truly earns its warmth. Overlooking the hill views and flooded with natural light, a brand new 900mm Bertazzoni dual fuel range cooker and Asko flush-mount silent dishwasher speak to those who cook seriously. An extra large fan-forced wood heater anchors the dining area with genuine whole-home warmth. French doors open directly onto the bricked entertaining patio, making the transition from table to garden entirely seamless. A second set of French doors from the main living room opens onto the verandah, offering a beautiful sunny spot for a morning coffee while taking in the views down the valley. A Bathroom Worth Lingering In The fully updated main bathroom is a considered indulgence. A luxuriously deep cast-iron clawfoot bathtub takes centre stage, positioned to frame views to the night sky and the rising moon. A double walk-in shower with rainfall shower head completes the picture. Tiled wet areas throughout the bathroom, mudroom and powder room all feature timer-operated heated flooring. A well-appointed separate powder room and practical mudroom with generous storage sit adjacent. The Land and The Lifestyle The seasonal creek does more than provide atmosphere. Running through the rear paddock, it feeds directly into the dam, ensuring it holds water reliably throughout the year. The two-acre allotment is fully fenced across three separate paddocks, secured to a standard suitable for both sheep and horses. Waikare was originally the main homestead on an 80-acre dairy farm, and the original dairy milking shed remains on title today, complete with mains water and three-phase power already connected. The potential to convert this into a studio, short stay accommodation or dual living (STCA) is genuine and immediately compelling. The gardens are lush and considered, anchored by a magnificent canopy tree over a dedicated sitting area. Reverse cycle air conditioning and a neatly integrated European laundry complete a home where nothing has been overlooked. The Opportunity Korumburra sits approximately 90 minutes from Melbourne, placing Waikare firmly within reach as a weekend retreat, a permanent lifestyle change, or the foundation for a boutique accommodation experience along the Great Southern Rail Trail. Properties of this calibre, in this condition, on this land, simply do not come along often.
