Narbethong, VIC 3778

This property offers an exceptional country retreat on a working cattle farm located in the scenic district of Narbethong, Victoria. Situated approximately 25 minutes north of Healesville and just 7 minutes south of Marysville, it provides a tranquil rural lifestyle with convenient access to nearby towns.

The farm spans 57 acres (approximately 23,067 square meters) of predominantly fertile river flats, complemented by sufficient higher ground essential for cattle during the winter months. The Acheron River borders the property for nearly a kilometer along the eastern boundary, enhancing the natural beauty and providing valuable water resources.

Both residences on the property enjoy stunning views of Mt Strickland, offering a completely private outlook across the farmland and surrounding forest. Additional vantage points on the property provide panoramic views of the Dividing and Black ranges, creating a picturesque and serene environment. A peaceful grassed picnic area along the Acheron River evokes a wilderness experience, perfect for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.

The main house is a traditional farmhouse that has been fully updated to meet modern living standards while retaining its period charm. It features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a study. The home boasts generous country-sized rooms with high ceilings, timber floors, double-glazed windows, a cast iron wood heater, and split system air conditioning. A large private back verandah with an elevated aspect is ideal for entertaining and showcases the spectacular views.

The garden surrounding the main house is well-established and low maintenance, planted with a variety of European trees and Australian native plants selected to attract local birdlife, enhancing the property's natural appeal.

The second residence is a modern build designed sympathetically to complement the main house. It includes two bedrooms and one bathroom and is currently rented on Airbnb. This additional dwelling is perfect for accommodating family or friends, providing them with their own private space.

The farm infrastructure is comprehensive and well-maintained, including a fencing system with laneways for easy cattle movement, a farm water system with tank storage, paddock drainage, all-weather farm roadways, stockyards, and shedding. The property also includes a 4 megaliter water right to pump water from the Acheron River, supporting agricultural activities.

Both houses and the farm facilities are in excellent condition, requiring no immediate expenditure, allowing the new owner to move in and enjoy the property immediately.

Inspections are available by appointment only.
