Set on an expansive 106-acre rural parcel, this single-level brick homestead offers a rare combination of functional country living and stunning natural vistas, providing privacy and space seldom found near Melbourne’s outer fringes.

The property is particularly attractive for those seeking a versatile lifestyle capable of supporting cattle grazing, equine activities, or agistment, with its undulating pastures and five dams adding to the appeal.

The warm and inviting home features extensive verandas that protect against seasonal weather, wrapping around generous living spaces optimized to take in sweeping views that stretch to distant ranges. It includes a solid timber kitchen well-appointed with quality appliances, ample preparation zones, and a walk-in pantry – underscoring its suitability for both everyday family life and entertaining. The adjoining open-plan living and meals area, enhanced by a wood heater, provides a cozy and sociable hub.

The main bedroom enjoys privacy being segregated from the three other beds and family bathroom, and is enhanced with a dressing room and ensuite. Additionally, a study area offers flexibility for a nursery, home office, or a fourth bedroom, appealing to families who require adaptable spaces.

Parking and storage abound with an oversized double garage with internal access, a large carport, sheds for machinery and tools including a 35 sqm shed and a 135 sqm machinery shed featuring over-height doors suitable for large vehicles or equipment like a caravan, boat or horse float. Extra sheds and the irrigation dams further contribute practical benefits for home-based tradespeople, collectors or families with diverse interests.

While comfortable now, the home presents opportunities for owners to personalise and enhance its features over time, blending established rural lifestyle comforts with easy proximity to local schools, shops, cafes, and entertainment centers in nearby Doreen, Mernda Station and Diamond Creek. This property represents an excellent prospect for those seeking space, privacy, and country living without sacrificing accessibility to urban conveniences.
