Set on 36.12 hectares in a secluded valley of the Warby-Ovens National Park, this mixed lifestyle property is perfectly located approximately 25 minutes from Wangaratta and 35 minutes from Benalla. With pockets of old growth red gums, views across the Warby Ranges, ample water, a vineyard and a seasonal creek this property has a lot to offer.
The well-kept and north-facing 4-bedroom family home has a welcoming feel from the moment you enter. The spacious living areas boast large windows to capture the peaceful mountain views and include wood combustion heating for those cosy winter evenings. Ducted evaporative cooling ensures year-round efficient comfort. All four bedrooms have built-in robes, and phenomenal views to wake up to.
The open plan kitchen and lounge area look out to the bird-attracting and fully fenced garden. Each year the giant red gums become home to lace monitors right outside your back door. The large open paddock is suitable for horses, sheep or cattle and comes with ample water and a separate fenced yard, with a spacious greenhouse, for growing vegetables and keeping chooks.
Extra features include a 6.6 kW solar system, a productive orchard, a spring dam, a workshop shed with concrete floors (approx. 9 m x 9 m plus annex), and a winery shed (approx. 6 m x 13 m, with concrete extension) complete with liquor license (license transfer and purchase of winery equipment available).
Water is well catered for with approximately 40,000 litres of tanks at the house plus a 23,000 litre tank at the shed with additional rainwater collection capacity an option. The dam holds approximately 20 megalitres of water and there is a 16.5 megalitre license and pumping equipment for irrigation.
A small but productive vineyard provides the opportunity for additional income or a hobby with Durif and Shiraz wine grapes that can be sold or turned into wine in the winery. There are also smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Ruby Cabernet.
The property is divided into two large separate fenced areas as well as the house yard allowing potential buyers to continue collecting lease incomes from current lessors who help you maintain the property while you get established, or alternatively run your own stock. There are smaller fenced paddocks adjacent to the house.
An out-of-the-way mobile tower provides fast and affordable 5G mobile services on site, and provides an easy stream of income from a 20-year lease with Optus that commenced in 2020 ($8000 p/a increasing 3% each year) with the potential for a lifetime income, or you can sell the lease and receive a lump sum now.
Every day is a new adventure at this property whether it's exploring the springs, the national park, the hand-crafted stone wall, or collecting eggs from your chickens, picking fruit in the orchard or just relax and watch the hills change colours as the sun sets over the valley.
