Only ten minutes’ drive from Neerim South is truly a unique and picturesque property. Originally the “Charles McKenzie Farmhouse”, built in the 1880’s now fully renovated to a high standard, reflecting its history but providing all the modern conveniences.

Well-proportioned rooms with period features include a formal lounge and dining room with wood-fired heater, a large country kitchen/meals/family room with reverse-cycle air conditioning, a bathroom, three substantial bedrooms all with garden views.

Dual Living possibilities with a bungalow that can be a Studio/ Home Office, Dependency Unit or Craft Room. It is self contained with its own laundry, toilet and air conditioning. Excellent accommodation with income earning potential. Ideal for elderly family members, teenagers and Air B&B potential.

Ample Shedding throughout including a 5 Bay Garage ideal for car restorations.

Magnificent established gardens featuring stunning 100-year-old oak tree known as the “Magic Faraway Tree” plus a gorgeous golden elm as well. 360 degree views with the Baw Baw Ranges to the north and the Strzelecki ranges to the South, with rolling hill vistas east and west.

Relax with a morning coffee on the front veranda or read a book and have a glass of wine under a shady tree listening to the birdsong. The garden is not only a tranquil retreat but is sustainable as well including established fruit trees, two large walnut trees, pear, red-orange, lemon, lime, apple and quince trees and a vegetable plot.

The acreage is flat sitting on top of the hill! Exceptionally well-drained, perfect for horses, many sites to install a menage and abundant shedding/ stables for horses, calf raising, hobbyists, or those passionate about DIY.

Historically you can feel the early pioneer farmers working in the old forge with the horse feeding stalls behind with cobblestone floor, the old dairy machine shed and the substantial dairy built in the sixty’s. The chook shed is perfectly set up if you want to be self-sufficient with three large pens and a feed shed.

This property is within commuting distance to Melbourne or outer eastern suburbs by train or car and approximately 30 minutes to the Drouin or Warragul Train Station and only an hour from the Mt Baw Baw skiing fields.

Without doubt a character filled property with a quintessential country house offering privacy, tranquility and allowing for many rural pursuits. Set in a tightly held location it won’t last long.
