Have you ever dreamed of a rural life just minutes from the Great Ocean Road? This exceptional property delivers the perfect balance of serenity, functionality and sweeping natural beauty. Centred between the towns of Port Campbell, Timboon and Peterborough on a section of quiet sealed road, this property feels so secluded despite being only minutes to everything you may need from cafes and supermarkets to a school and hospital. Offering two separate homes both serviced by mains water, the property has the flexibility to provide the perfect balance of family living, guest accommodation or multigenerational use. At the heart of the estate is the iconic one-of-a-kind converted limestone dairy. Working with a local architect, every element was carefully designed to restore the 1940s dairy, creating the new structure around the original limestone blocks and hardwood trusses. Engineered to maximise passive heating and cooling, the home remains comfortable year round and the large decked outdoor area captures the panoramic views of the southern ocean. Complementing this is the renovated four bedroom plus study farmhouse. A generous family accommodation with 3 bedrooms having built in robes and air conditioning and 1 with an ensuite. The modern kitchen has ample storage, stone bench-tops, electric cooking and ASKO dishwasher. The large air-conditioned open-plan living and dining area opens on to the expansive north facing deck looking over the neighbouring farms providing effortless indoor–outdoor living. At the back of the house you will find the family bathroom and laundry. The large study at the front of the house allows the flexibility of a fifth bedroom. The farmhouse is being enjoyed as short-term accommodation during summers with the popularity of the 12 Apostles coastline providing a substantial income for the current owners. The grounds of the property have been carefully designed to be visually pleasing and easy to enjoy, yet low maintenance. The addition of a fully enclosed vegetable garden, rainwater collection and chicken enclosure is ideal for facilitating a healthy lifestyle. Over 10,000 m² of native re-vegetation has been done, providing shelter belts and habitat for local wildlife including resident koalas, black shoulder kites and black cockatoos. With this property, your dream of rural living can truly become a reality – if not now, when? Inspections by appointment.
