Overview

Set within the exclusive Henley Ridge Estate, this property offers a substantial rural lifestyle across approximately 16 hectares (40 acres), complemented by breathtaking views over Beechworth, Wangaratta and Glenrowan. A brick residence, built in 1985 by a reputable local builder, presents three bedrooms and a well-lit, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space thoughtfully designed to highlight the surrounding countryside.

Designed for comfortable year-round living, the home benefits from evaporative cooling, alongside a wood heater and an open fireplace, enhancing the cozy rural atmosphere. Outdoor and practical amenities are exceptional, including multiple sheds, workshops, and stockyards, with ample secure parking for vehicles, caravans, boats, or trailers.

The insulated studio adds versatile use options—ideal for guests, a home office, a hobby room, or creative workspace. The land supports lifestyle farming pursuits with four paddocks, established stockyards, and terrain suited to sheep, cattle, or horses, subject to purchaser requirements. Established vegetable gardens, a chook shed, wood shed, and a bird-friendly habitat enhance the property's authentic rural charm.

Water security is well addressed by approximately 60,000 litres of domestic storage spread across three tanks, supplemented by two dams and a gravity-fed water supply with pump-assisted pressure. Fire preparedness infrastructure includes a dedicated 35,000-litre firefighting water tank, a fire pump, a roof sprinkler system, and protective measures for the evaporative cooler, ensuring peace of mind in managing bushfire risks.
