Settled within native grounds beyond the gentle sway of established gums, an exceptional equestrian achievement presents in partnership with a premium rural lifestyle, as approximately 5.75ha of rich pastures offers a sanctuary of space for those with an equine focus.
Embraced by lush garden views from every aspect, a four bedroom 2-bathroom home presents premium living alongside 8 interconnected paddocks each with troughs, 20m x 40m sand arena, chicken coop, dam, established orchard and kitchen garden, and shedding complex with tack room and feed shed.
Concealing a single-level design with a focus on entertaining, a wrap-around verandah introduces a relaxed living environment where a stone-finished kitchen complete with breakfast bar and premium Westinghouse appliances zones both formal and informal living and dining spaces. Occupying their own private space, four bedrooms including a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite spill across the layout, with options to extend accommodation via the dedicated home office and third living zone with direct exterior access.
Vaulted ceilings, newly laid carpet and a considered lighting plan will impress, whilst a cellar (with 75mm insulation and cool room batts) and an updated central bathroom adds a touch of modern luxury. Ducted and zoned reverse-cycle heating and cooling offers climate control throughout, with the addition of an open fireplace and wood heater in each living zone.
Outside, alfresco dining sits blissfully back-dropped by a running water feature and native bushland, where natural horse jumping apparatus and walking trails offer those without animals an equally enjoyable experience beyond the home.
Organic sustainability is abundant at the property with a long list of fruit trees including apples, pears, plums and pomegranate trees, as well as numerous vegetables and herbs. The excess produce is currently bartered at the local farmers market.
Placed only a short drive to all the amenities of Hastings, Balnarring and Mornington, a position of convenience offsets the rural lifestyle to ensure easy access to shopping, farm gates, schools, and well-loved wineries and restaurants.
