Set well back from the road and surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of the Dereel countryside, this charming country property offers the perfect blend of privacy, space, and practicality. Positioned on a gently elevated 5-acre allotment, the home enjoys wide rural views, fresh country air, and a lifestyle to be envied. With extensive shedding and reliable services, it's ideally suited to those looking to work from home, hobby farm, or simply enjoy a quieter way of life.
Lovingly established in the 1990s by the current owners, this low-maintenance Hardiplank home with Colorbond roof rests securely on a steel subframe and is wrapped in verandahs on three sides, offering shelter and shade while inviting you to sit back and take in the serenity. Inside, the well-considered floorplan comprises three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, while the master suite includes a walk-in robe and private ensuite. The warm, welcoming kitchen features a corner pantry, gas cooktop, electric oven, and a dual stainless steel sink, all overlooking an L-shaped dining and lounge area highlighted by striking timber cathedral ceilings and the ambient glow of a wood fire.
Comfort is assured year-round with two reverse cycle split systems and a wood heater, while sustainability is a key feature with mains power, a 5kW solar system with approximately 20 panels, four large water tanks providing around 80,000 litres, and a septic system. NBN is available, ensuring modern connectivity in this country setting.
The property is well-equipped for trades, hobbies, or small-scale farming, with three substantial outbuildings. A large house carport of approximately 137m², a powered workshop/shed of around 116m², and a freestanding machinery shed measuring a massive 284m² provide endless opportunities for work, storage, or creative pursuits. Two sizeable dams not only support the established gardens but also offer a delightful bonus - fresh Murray cod for the dinner table.
Located just 30 minutes from Ballarat and an hour from Geelong, Dereel offers a relaxed rural lifestyle with essential services and schooling options in nearby Rokewood and Napoleons. This is a unique opportunity to secure a slice of country living with all the infrastructure in place for a productive and peaceful life.
