Property Information
A sanctuary of serenity just a stone's throw from Westernport's Yaringa Boat Harbour, this four acre (1.7 ha approx) lifestyle property is a divine opportunity for the nature lover or the avid fisherman where you can head out for a spot of fishing at dawn, take a cooling dip in the pool or enjoy a close encounter with nature.
In a little known and tightly held pocket of the Mornington Peninsula, the charming two-storey weatherboard residence provides a delicious sense of isolation and an exciting element of self-sufficiency with a chicken coop and extensive fruit and vegetable gardens that supply a wonderful range of home grown produce.
With a long meandering driveway and paths through the native bushland gardens to a rear paddock, a dam, machinery/woodshed and extensive storage unit, the property provides space to keep a pony as well as wonderful opportunity to work from home, while a large double garage with a mechanic's pit and double carport can accommodate your boat or caravan.
Set under majestic soaring timber ceilings, the three-bedroom home boasts a grand open plan living and dining room with a glowing wood heater and a well equipped kitchen with L-shaped island bench and gas cooktop, while sliding doors open out to a semi-enclosed alfresco room and lounge area with an outdoor kitchen and an outlook to the solar heated pool.
Grandly proportioned, two children's bedrooms and a family bathroom on the lower level are extra large, while parents enjoy blissful privacy in an enormous upper level retreat with an ensuite, dressing room and a balcony overlooking palm tree canopy to the pool and bushland gardens.
Fronted by a long verandah where you can enjoy visits from resident koalas, echidnas and local birdlife, the home also includes a children's treehouse, while the covered orchard includes cherry, peach, apricot, apple trees and more.
