19 Moss Lane MARONG VIC

A picturesque 10 acre irrigated lifestyle farm only 15 to 20 minutes from Bendigos Alexandra Fountain, Marong is on the Melbourne side of Bendigo, and as Michael Caton said in the iconic Australian movie ‘The Castle’ how’s the serenity and it is, quiet and fresh your own little piece of heaven. Most of the infrastructure has been put in place by the original owners over the past 24 years, perfect for horses or cattle with four fenced paddocks currently home to goats and Chooks. The home is solid brick with three well sized bedrooms and a forth bedroom could easily be achieved by covering in the 4 car carport and adding a door at the end of the hall. The kitchen has plenty of cupboards a step in pantry, newish s/s gas cooker and room for a freezer, the view from the kitchen window will be one you will never tire of. The dining is next to the kitchen which leads into the spacious lounge room and onto the bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and separate loo. The lounge and hall is lined with timber dado boards and the home being solid brick has feature brick walls in most rooms. Winter comfort is assured with a roaring wood heater (Newport 2000) in the lounge which the owners say easily heats the whole house and the split system is a quick heating option and cooling for those warmer days. The covered alfresco area is surrounded by lush grass, trees and plants, there are quite a few perfumed rose bushes and lots of fruit trees – Lemonade, Apple, Plum, Mulberry, Orange, Nectarine, Peach, wild lemon and Olive, also a vegetable garden with Boysenberries and Raspberries. There are two dams and a water right from Coliban Water, 3.6 mega litres available from October to May, as well as two poly water tanks 7000 and 5000 litres one either side of the house both with their own pumps, and a third 10,000 litre concrete tank (not in use) the owners report they have never had to buy water. On the side of the house connected by a fernery is a 20 x 40 shed this has been halved, one side used as a work shed the other has been lined and insulated with power and cooling currently used as a storage/office but could have many other uses pool room, teenage retreat or a home business. There is also another 10 x 20 shed and other small shedding dotted around the farm including a chook shed which can house up to about 100 foul, the boundary and inner fences are electric, and rubbish and recycling is collected from the property as well as mail delivered; Marong has a lot to offer with a General Store, Family Hotel, Golf Course, Swimming Pool, Primary School, Race Course and sports oval.
