469 Couangalt Road, Gisborne SouthVIC

Packed with rustic character, this unique mudbrick and cedar home beautifully utilises architectural features and organic materials to achieve a relaxed style that makes those lucky enough to grace its doors feel welcome and completely at home.

Central to this fabulous property is the beautiful surrounds that begin when you drive through the electric gates to a long tree-lined, Tuscan topped driveway with two lush paddocks either side. Another set of gates securely partitions the house and garden from the large back paddock where you can graze a few sheep, alpacas, or a horse or two.

Neat, tidy, and everything in its place the well-planned layout with beautiful architectural features reveals aspects of the garden and views from every window. The welcoming open plan living/dining room is complemented by soaring corrugated and beamed ceilings and the warmth of beautiful oak floors just recently repolished. The huge wood fire warms the space and large picture window frames the beautiful views beyond. Mud brick walls ensures comfort in all seasons and complemented with a 5.6 KW solar system. The heart of the home is the gorgeous country kitchen with rich timber benchtops and big enough, so you won’t get in each other’s way. From this space the fabulous alfresco area with outdoor kitchen and shady verandahs invite you to spend time to relax. It is just perfect for end of day drinks and family barbeques or to sit around the fire pit for a yarn whilst watching the stunning views to the You Yangs and night lights in distance. The ground floor also has a study or fourth bedroom, a smaller living space with built-in cabinetry to watch TV or enjoy a good book, as well as the big laundry with beautiful wall tiles and timber benchtop leading into the separate toilet.

The beautiful pine and wrought iron staircase leads to the three beamed ceiling bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has mirrored built in robes and its own balcony. Barn doors to the ensuite with its big shower and concrete vanity. The other two generously proportioned bedrooms have mirrored BIRs, and one has its own balcony. The family bathroom completes the plan.

Outdoors, the infrastructure has everything that you could wish for - four-bay machinery shed for added vehicle parking. The huge 7 metre (approx.) high insulated shed is every man’s dream with three remote controlled roller doors, the middle door high enough for a truck to enter. Big enough to house at least four cars and a hoist to work on them. But that’s not all. Barn doors lead through to the workshop and the mandatory rustic man shed with beamed ceilings and corrugated walls. It has the comforts of its own kitchenette, shower and toilet, split system heating and cooling and wood fire. Upstairs, there is a mezzanine for storage, an office with enviable views and split system heating and cooling, a gym or games room for your teenager to escape to with their friends. A double carport is attached to the shed.

The features don’t end inside in this stunning property and include huge capacity 100,000 litre (approx.) water tanks, dog kennels and runs, chicken coop, 5.6kw inverter and 18 solar panels, electric gates, electric fencing for stock and pump operated water troughs in each paddock.

The mini orchard will keep you supplied with luscious fruit ensuring a plentiful supply to stock your pantry with yummy baked goods, jams and bottled fruits. The produce you have grown in the rich, fertile soils of your vegetable garden ensure your family enjoys the nutritious benefits of plant-based goodness.

This stunning offering is perfect for those seeking a manageable hobby farm with a fabulous home to raise their family. Or perhaps a weekend retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city living, yet close enough to the CBD and airport.
