Nestled high within the gentle folds of the West Gippsland region of Victoria, ‘The Birches’ represents a one of a kind holding that speaks to the quintessential rural lifestyle without compromising on sophisticated living, occupying 44.92 hectares (111 acres) of undulating pasture, rolling paddocks and pockets of established trees, rich soils, quiet horizons, and a sense of place that lingers in the soul. At the centre of this stunning holding sits a contemporary rural residence, distinctly architectural in form and thoughtfully oriented to its surroundings. Comprising approximately 176 square metres of internal living, the home is defined by clean linear lines, expansive glazing and a series of connected living zones that engage directly with the landscape beyond. Internally, the material palette is warm yet restrained. Exposed timber beams, rich hardwood flooring and structural posts introduce texture and depth, balancing the home’s modern exterior expression. The kitchen and living areas are open in configuration, allowing natural light to move freely through the interior while maintaining framed views across the holding. Large picture windows and sliding glass panels dissolve the boundary between inside and out, reinforcing the home’s relationship to land and horizon. A central living space anchored by a wood heater and discreet air conditioning provides seasonal comfort, while adjacent dining and outdoor entertaining zones extend the usable footprint of the residence. Decking and terrace areas are positioned to capture elevation and outlook, offering a considered setting for entertaining family and friends or quiet retreat from the work-a-day world. The Birches offers a welcoming sophisticated home of significant proportion, a myriad of external entertaining zones and seamless connection to the land around it. This home has space for family, friends and a multitude of opportunities for casual or more formal entertaining. Complementing the residence are a variety of functional outbuildings and ample vehicle storage – a pastoral toolkit ready for livestock, machinery and the varied textures of country living. The land parcel at The Birches offers sprawling gently undulating land from the road to distant paddocks, versatile grazing pasture suited to cattle, sheep, or rotational grazing, thoughtful shelter belts and tree lines. The Birches is not just soil and fence lines – it is a canvas for new chapters. Breed livestock, nurture a hobby farm, or simply enjoy the peace and solitude. Tetoora Road sits within Baw Baw Shire, a rich agricultural district anchored between regional townships such as Warragul – a regional hub with all important services, schools, shopping, markets, cultural activity and Drouin – an easy commuter connection to Melbourne by train. Yet despite this accessibility, The Birches feels entirely secluded – quiet, purposeful, and anchored to the rhythms of farm life. Becoming the next custodian of The Birches is not passive exercise, it will ensure a lived experience – engaging, grounding, and deeply satisfying. It is where slow mornings and purposeful days meet. Holdings like The Birches do not just change hands – they shape stories. They hold the echoes of past seasons and open space for new ones: first rides on tractors, late-afternoon tea or relaxing with friends and family watching the afternoon sun laze its way into evening, barbecues under the stars, knowing that tomorrow you will wake to the same wide sky. This is a place with heart. This is land that stays with you.
