140 Govans Lane, New GisborneVIC

An idyllic retreat for the whole family, this lovely, undulating 23.5 acres (approx.) with character-filled 6 bedroom, architect designed weatherboard home and stunning views to the Macedon Ranges has so much to offer.

The backdrop to the thoughtful house plan, intelligently observing a north-easterly orientation, and permeated with natural light, also features exceptional views from nearly every window of the charming home. The plan consists of a welcoming entry with warm cedar-lined panelling and a beautiful lounge room with wood heater and gorgeous straw cathedral ceilings, which is a feature of the house, as well as providing insulating qualities both summer and winter. The residence also has six big bedrooms, with the main and ensuite positioned at one end of the home. Two of the other cathedral ceilinged bedrooms have BIR’s and are located off the substantial second living space which also has a large wood heater and lovely timber-lined cathedral ceiling. The second new bathroom and remaining three large bedrooms are found in a separate wing of the home. They are big enough for kids to have a desk and room for toys. The lovely country-style kitchen with timber benchtops and walk-in-pantry has doors out to the open-air alfresco and of course feature gorgeous views. The charming separate dining room with built-in shelving is sure to appeal and a great space to host large family gatherings. A laundry and separate toilet complete the floor plan.

The wide, open spaces outside augur well for developing childhood memories of picnics and catching yabbies down at the creek, or going for walks along the many walking tracks, whilst enjoying the fabulous views and observing native wildlife along the way. And, of course, there is plenty of room for horses, alpacas or stock. The property has a separate double garage and insulated room within which was utilised as the music room – great if the kids want to take up the drums! A large shed, town water, water tanks (not connected) complete the offering.

The serene property’s location in this peaceful pocket of New Gisborne is ideally located to the rail, schools, sporting facilities, the iconic Baringo Wine Store, as well as being close to the townships of Gisborne, Riddells Creek and Sunbury. The journey to the CBD and airport are both under an hour’s drive.
