Timeless farmhouse features meet modern accoutrements to create character and appeal throughout the residence, which features separate living and dining zones basking in radiant north-facing light with an enclosed fireplace and split-system air conditioning for all-season comfort.

Matte-black tapware, shaker cabinetry and high-end stainless-steel appliances define the elegant kitchen, while glass sliders open to an expansive north-facing outdoor entertaining area to host friends in the open air as the kids make a splash in the pool, feed the ponies in the stable or pick fruit in the orchard.

Set to spoil parents, the master bedroom with new wool carpeting is complemented by a heated-floor ensuite and alfresco clawfoot tub in this dreamy homestead, which includes a contemporary family bathroom and an ensuite with composting toilet in the studio or home office.

With a glamping site partially established in the eastern paddock there is scope for income on the short-stay accommodation market, while the close proximity to a choice of primary schools, Western Port Secondary College, Bittern town centre and the major shopping of Hastings just a few minutes’ drive away will delight permanent residents.

Among a long list of extras, this wonderful property includes a tack room, powered and plumbed workshop, menage awaiting restoration, paddock irrigation, a small dam, an outdoor shower and a double garage behind electronic gated entry.
