Secure an enviable rural lifestyle for your family with this riverside bush retreat, set on an expansive 15 acres (approx.) but just 30 minutes from Geelong. Picturesque "Karngun Bridges", with the Barwon River frontage meandering through, town water and a wealth of native plants and birdlife, offers tranquility and a unique outlook at every turn. An impressive, tree-lined drive leads to the distinctive Mount Gambier stone home with views of the bush and garden from every window. Entertain on the sunny terrace with north and east-facing aspects and the lawns surrounding the home as the kids explore the vast open spaces. The immaculate home has been cleverly designed with two distinct wings. The living wing comprises a lounge, dining and kitchen zone, formal lounge with open fireplace and separate study. Step out from the living zone to the wraparound verandah and extensive gardens featuring a stunning willow tree, gums, wattles and bottlebrush that attract white cockatoos and even wedge-tailed eagles. The light-filled kitchen features quality appliances, including induction cooktop, breakfast bar and abundant storage. It overlooks the dining and lounge areas, ideal for family time around the table and for entertaining guests. The opposite wing is a dedicated bedroom zone, including a spacious master suite with serene garden outlook, built-in robes and ensuite with spa/soaker tub and separate shower. Two further bedrooms with built-in robes enjoy a northern aspect and have space to accommodate desks. They share a family bathroom and separate powder room. Other highlights include oversize double garage with direct entry to the house, laundry/mudroom, second powder room, ducted heating and cooling, blockout blinds, olive and lemon trees, a billabong and room to park and store multiple vehicles, including a trailer, boat and caravan.
