1165 Ridge Road, Yan Yean

Set on approximately 106 acres (42.93 Ha) of undulating pasture, ideal for cattle grazing, equine pursuits or agistment, this outstanding property delivers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking space, privacy and versatility. Located at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway accessed via a sliding gated entrance, the warm and welcoming home has been perfectly positioned to make the most of stunning views across rolling greenery all the way to the distant ranges. Set over extensive paving and providing protection from winter rain and summer sun, extensive verandas wrap around the expansive spaces of this warm and welcoming, single-level homestead. Behind its timeless brick exterior, this inviting home reveals a spacious lounge and dining area alongside a solid timber kitchen, featuring quality appliances, an abundance of preparation, storage options and a walk-in pantry. An open-plan living and meals area extends from the kitchen with a wood heater adding warmth and ambience to the family room Finished with a dressing room and ensuite, the main bedroom is thoughtfully zoned from the remaining bedrooms and family bathroom, while a study could work as a nursery/fourth bedroom if desired. An oversized double garage with internal access sits under the roofline, while a large carport, a 35 m² (approx.) shed and a 135 m² (approx.) machinery shed with a concrete floor and three over-height doors (perfect for plant machinery, the caravan, boat or horse float) provide plenty of space for the home-based tradie, collectors or just the items families seem to accumulate. Five dams and extra sheds add to the appeal. Comfortable for today while still allowing scope to add your own personal, value-adding touches as time and budget allow, it offers the perfect blend of country living without sacrificing the convenience of easy access to the schools, dining, cafés, shopping and entertainment options of Doreen, Mernda Station and the delights of Diamond Creek. *** PHOTO ID REQUIRED AT ALL OPEN FOR INSPECTIONS ***
