The appeal of this property is as much about its surroundings as its grand style spacious residence with far reaching views of the Coliban River Valley setting a beautiful backdrop. The 'waterway/dam', the second biggest in Taradale is home to Redfin and Yellowfin and you could either fish from the banks or grab a canoe, start paddling and throw a line in. At the end of the winding driveway a magnificent federation-style home takes centre stage on the 5.22 hectares (almost 13 acres). Crafted from recycled brick and featuring a wrap-around verandah clad in timber, stepping onto the deck feels like an open invitation to pause and reflect – a temptation that's hard to resist. At the rear of the home the structure widens to create a big outdoor dining area – the perfect locale to swing in a hammock or sip a glass of wine on a breezy summer night. Inside, it's a home that captures the essence of generous living, perfect for families wanting both space and quiet corners of solitude. The open-plan living area, flooded by natural light, centre's around a gas log fire. The layout accommodates dining, lounging, formal sitting and the kitchen, however, is as flexible as you want it to be, limited only by your furniture choices. A bay window draws your gaze outside, a constant reminder of the beautiful setting. The kitchen, a social hub with an oversized L-shaped bench, invites gatherings and heart-to-heart conversations. The butler's pantry becomes your secret weapon, this clever space will be your go-to for keeping everything organised and ready for the next round of lively gatherings. It connects to the laundry, ensuring practicality and offering storage for all your hosting essentials. Speaking of gatherings, with 5/6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, there's plenty of room for family, guests, a home office or maybe even a ‘dad den’ or craft room. The master suite, with a walk-in robe and ensuite, is a private retreat almost double the size of the other bedrooms. At the end of the hallway, a massive double garage adds a practical touch, making it easy to bring in groceries and spacious enough to fit a gym. And let's not forget the property's infrastructure – 2 machinery sheds, a chicken run, 5 paddocks with day stalls and 'bounce back' fencing keeps livestock both safe and contained. The home paddock, wrapped in snake-proof fencing, ensures a stress-free zone for family and pets. In every little detail, this property displays thoughtful design, promising a wonderful lifestyle. ** We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable, however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
