Overview

This property skillfully balances simplicity and functionality, making it an ideal choice for those looking to downsize yet not compromise on space for hobbies or vehicles. The comfortable three-bedroom rendered brick home offers a practical living environment with bright, spacious bedrooms, a light-filled lounge featuring split-system air conditioning and solid-fuel heating, and a well-appointed kitchen complete with a 900mm oven and ample bench space.

Outside, the huge block of approximately 1,080 sqm provides extensive opportunities for storing boats, caravans, vehicles, or any other equipment with multiple sheds, including a high-clearance 9m by 7.5m shed, a separate 5m by 3.5m workshop, and an older 6m by 5m shed. An outdoor sink is conveniently positioned for cleaning fish, while a 5,000L water tank and established gardens contribute to the property’s self-sufficiency and charm.

The home also features inviting outdoor spaces including a rear sunroom and deck to enjoy morning coffee, and an expansive verandah overlooking surrounding farmland to take in the evening sunsets. The enormous under-house storage further enhances the utility of the property.

This residence will appeal to downsizers who value easy, low-maintenance living while maintaining ample space for outdoor interests and storage. Its rural outlook and multiple functional outbuildings make it equally suitable for hobbyists, vehicle enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a manageable home with flexible external space.
