Overview
3484 Frankston Flinders Road, Merricks VIC 3916
Set amidst captivating park-like gardens featuring manna gums and occasional resident koalas, this enchanting 1920s weatherboard farmhouse perfectly embodies the classic 'home among the gum trees'. The property sits on an approximately 1.3-acre allotment with approved plans for a two-lot subdivision, presenting excellent short stay rental returns.
Constructed in 1926 by Jack Joyner, who also built the Merricks General Store, this home reflects the era when Merricks was primarily a fruit-growing region supported by a railway. Today, the Merricks General Wine Store and "Rowanberry" remain the only surviving buildings from that period.
The residence is highlighted by a striking 10-metre date palm and features hardwood Tasmanian oak floors, panelled dado walls, picture rails, and sash windows. These timeless finishes preserve the charm of its original era, while the layout remains well-suited for contemporary country living.
The lounge room is inviting with an art deco ceiling rose and a warming fireplace. The open-plan kitchen has been upgraded with a brand new 900mm freestanding oven featuring an induction cooktop and a stainless-steel dishwasher. The three bedrooms share a central bathroom and a separate powder room, offering potential for modern farmhouse style upgrades.
A sunroom opens through French doors onto a spacious barbecue deck overlooking verdant gardens and a shedding area surrounded by a mix of native and introduced trees dating back to the 1920s. Mature trees including blackwood, spotted gum, myrtle, Tasmanian blue gum, and 60-year-old oaks provide privacy, shade, and attract diverse birdlife such as black cockatoos, kookaburras, king parrots, eastern and crimson rosellas, galahs, pardalotes, and honeyeaters.
Located just 2 kilometres from Point Leo Estate, which offers 50 acres of vineyards, a sculpture park, and a restaurant, the property is also close to the Merricks General Store, only 220 metres away. The area is well-served by schools and bus routes, and is a short drive to Merricks Beach, the yacht club, Balnarring village, local wineries, surf breaks at Point Leo, Millers Bakery, maze gardens, and Pony Club and horse-riding trails.
