1150 Old Beech Forest Road BEECH FOREST VIC

Step back in time when you enter this circa 1940's home. In need of love, but you will instantly see the potential to be renovated into a very charming country cottage. Situated on a north facing slope, the property was once a strawberry farm, and could be used for such purposes again. Or perhaps another option could be a small vineyard, with the area being suitable for cool climate wines such as Riesling, Pinot, Chardonnay or Pinot Gridgio; with approximately two thirds of the property already cleared, most of the hard work has been done. At the back of the existing home is an established fruit orchard, so the ability to be somewhat self sufficient throughout the year is available. With part of the historic Beechy rail trail crossing the bottom corner of the property, you have local history in your own back yard. The house has 3 bedrooms all with high ceilings, a lounge with a lovely view over the valley and an open fire place. With a little elbow grease (and a sander), the Otway hardwood floors throughout the house will be brought back to their former glory. The large separate kitchen with electric cooking and an original slow combustion stove, could be a beautiful, toasty room on those cold winter nights. At the back of the house is a large separate living space that could be utilised as a second living room or games room for the kids. Land size approximately 27.78 acres The vendor is keen to sell so for more information and to make a time to inspect please call our office.
