Overview

Located just 2.6 kilometres from Mansfield's bustling High Street, this expansive 6.9-acre lifestyle property offers a compelling blend of rural serenity and convenient town access. Its generous land size and thoughtful division into paddocks provide an ideal setting for hobby farmers, families, or those seeking a semi-rural retreat with significant potential.

The property features a spacious family home that emphasizes flexibility, accommodating multiple stages of life. Soaring cathedral ceilings fill the interior with abundant natural light, enhancing the sense of space and airiness. The home includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three separate living areas, plus a dedicated study that could alternatively function as a sixth bedroom, catering to a variety of household needs.

Adding an exceptional level of versatility is a fully self-contained unit, boasting its own kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living space. This arrangement suits extended family arrangements, guest accommodation, independent teenagers, or potential rental income, thereby maximizing the property's liveability and investment value.

Comfort is assured year-round with five split-system air conditioners and two wood heaters creating a cozy environment, complemented by a wraparound verandah that invites outdoor enjoyment while overlooking well-established gardens.

The property's outdoor facilities underline its self-sufficient lifestyle appeal. A large five-car garage and workshop offer exceptional storage and workspace. The mature orchard is planted with a rich variety of fruit trees, supported by extensive vegetable gardens and a chook house with runs, perfect for sustainable living enthusiasts.

The land is thoughtfully managed with four fenced paddocks serviced by water from a central dam, which also irrigates the gardens. Water security is exceptional, supported by approximately 125,000 litres of rainwater storage alongside the convenience of connected town water. A 13kW solar system further enhances energy efficiency and sustainability, aligning with modern environmental considerations.

The property’s outstanding future potential is marked by a proposed 29-lot subdivision plan (STCA), offering exciting development opportunities for investors or those looking to capitalize on the site's location and size. Whether enjoying a spacious and private lifestyle today or planning for long-term growth, this property provides a rare combination of lifestyle, land, and future prospects on the fringe of town.
