This delightful property has been developed by the current owners over the last 30 years. The home has been lovingly constructed in the style of a colonial homestead, and displays the character of a bygone era whilst having all the benefits of the modern age. The homestead consists of two bedrooms, bathroom, separate lounge and farm style kitchen, with wide verandas all round. The property is off grid, with power coming from a diesel generator. Heating is via a wood stove in the kitchen and an open fire in the lounge. Hot water is by solar panels, augmented by a water jacket in the stove. The main rooms are North and East facing and overlook the property. You own and have control over the view. The house is built on a rise well above the rich soils of the Cobbannah Creek flat, where you will find some 400 hazelnut trees. The creek runs along the northern boundary, and a tributary feeds a reliable dam. The land measures 6.48 Ha (16 acres), and is a rare freehold parcel on the way to Dargo from Bairnsdale or Sale. The hazelnut trees have provided a source of income for the owners for many years, and this could be continued, or the trees can simply provide a wonderful backdrop to the property. Shedding consists of a large three bay machinery shed with a lockable section, a generator shed, chook yard and several other useful outbuildings. Bordered on two sides by State Forrest, an abundance of wildlife is evident, and if you are a bird watcher, you will be in heaven! To arrange an inspection, please call Warren Meade on 0412 981 531.
