298 Myers Road, MERRICKS NORTH

With echoes of the past and full of opportunity for the future, this once thriving apple, pear and fig orchard is a snap-shot of a bygone era set on 20.1 acres in sought-after Myers Rd surrounded by wineries and luxury weekend lifestyle properties. Now ready for a new beginning after 60 years with the same family, there are options aplenty to transform the property and guide it into the future perhaps as a vineyard or grazing property or coax some of the orchard back into production. Featuring a charming 1940-built farmhouse with art deco ceilings and surrounded by mature gardens and a series of large sheds and outbuildings, there is scope to renovate or start again and build a new home (STCA) befitting the prestigious location. A cosy formal lounge with an open fireplace and large main bedroom with ensuite are located at the front of the home, while a generous country-size kitchen and family/meals area enjoys winter warmth from a slow-burning combustion heater and a sun-soaked north-facing covered terrace is the perfect outdoor entertaining space. There is also a large rumpus room, three other bedrooms are served by a family bathroom as well as a toilet off the huge laundry/mud room and there is a study or fifth bedroom. Outside, a 28x11m workshed and a series of smaller sheds present loads of opportunity to store machinery, there is a small dam at the rear of the property and two other larger dams are shared with an adjoining property. Right in the centre of the Mornington Peninsula minutes from bay and ocean beaches, winery restaurants and barely an hour from the city, unlock the potential of this superbly located site.
