Discover the perfect family sanctuary where children can grow surrounded by nature's playground, and parents can enjoy the peace and self-sufficiency they've been seeking. This thoughtfully renovated 2024 farmhouse offers the ideal balance of rural tranquility and modern convenience, just a comfortable drive from Melbourne.
Perfectly Positioned for Country Living
Nestled in the peaceful Ryanston region, this property offers surprising proximity to essential services and entertainment: just 2 minutes to Archies Creek (home to a thriving live music scene and arts community that attracts patrons from Melbourne), 10 minutes to Kilcunda Beaches, 12 minutes to Wonthaggi, 20 minutes to Phillip Island, and under 2 hours to Melbourne CBD. The area has attracted many ex-Phillip Islanders seeking the serenity this region offers compared to busier coastal townships.
Farmhouse Design & Setting
This farmhouse inspired home seamlessly blends contemporary living with rural charm. The property's elevated position isn't a limitation—it's an asset. Wake each morning to breathtaking, uninterrupted views across rolling countryside toward the majestic Wilsons Promontory, and enjoy stunning sunrises as a backdrop to the hills. The steepness of the land ensures excellent water drainage and provides natural benefits for equine conditioning. The home sits appropriately close to the road—maximising the productive use of your 5-acre canvas, while enjoying quiet country living thanks to minimal traffic flow.
Comprehensive Amenities & Features
The thoughtful design includes:
Substantial solar and battery system providing energy security
Fully fenced property with four gated access points (all lockable)
Established orchard featuring over five different fruit tree varieties
Native garden designed for easy maintenance
Well-appointed workshop with 15-amp power and water access, accessible via truck-suitable driveway
Generous undercover parking: three bays in shed, two in garage, plus ample additional parking on property
Planning & Development Opportunities
The owner has consulted with Bass Coast Shire Council regarding the property's planning potential. According to the owner's consultation, a small second dwelling can be constructed on the vacant land adjacent to the orchard without requiring a Planning Permit—ideal for generating income through short or long-term rental, or providing space for aging parents or visiting family and friends.

Natural Biodiversity

Your Family's Sustainable Future
This is more than a property purchase—it's an investment in your family's wellbeing, security, and sustainable future. The 5-acre canvas offers endless possibilities for the growing or established family seeking genuine country living with modern convenience.
