The circa 1940's homestead with modern updates is ideally positioned on the rim of the Lake Elingamite crater, offering a water filled panoramic vista beyond compare. The well positioned and central 12 acre allotment, just off a main arterial enjoys another 8 acres of fertile government lease running to the waters edge. Lake Elingamite is a very well known Brown Trout and Red Fin fishery, enjoyed by many from near and far. All three bedrooms, the kitchen, dining and study nook feature highly polished Baltic pine flooring, with the glass filled studio offering solid hardwood underfoot, enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun. The oversize carpeted living space offers the romance of solid fuel heating, convenience of reverse cycle split system, with the fully glassed entries to the west and eastern facades leading directly to the lake view entertaining deck and wonderful full length veranda and outdoor living space protected from the elements. High ceilings, historic timber fretwork and ornate plaster features flow through the entire character filled residence. Set in delightful low maintenance gardens, the colourful deciduous oak, walnut and fruit trees all add to the charm the historic dwelling enjoys. The property is well fenced into four main paddocks with additional holding areas, serviced by a central lane, the convenience of town water and native gum shelter belts. The old dairy provides for additional weatherproof storage to the modern 14.8 x 7.5 metre main car and equipment shed. There is additional shedding and a concrete floored stock handling and loading area. Looking out across the lake from the vantage point of the undercover entertaining deck, admiring the supreme view of the glistening water filled volcanic depression, many would ponder if it doesn't get any better than this.
