936 Bacchus Marsh Road , Bullengarook

A winding driveway of thick hazelnut trees guides you into the property where an immediate sense of its lushness begins to encompass your vision.

The sturdy and comfortable residence with its deep verandahs, double bricked inside and out, proudly connects to its external sheltered surrounds and is totally private from the road. It offers four large bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas with soaring timber and beamed ceilings, a recently installed kitchen, meals area, open study and laundry. The home is heated by solid fuel heating and reverse cycle heating and cooling.

The orchard of cherry, walnuts, apples, pears, mulberry as well as lemons, fig and blueberry trees, and rows of vegetables, strike your gaze, as does the fertile soils that have been lovingly tended over the years to produce year-long supplies of organic crops for the table.

And the nine to fifteen year old hazelnut trees don't end at the drive. They line boundary fences and dot the property and eventually producing what may become a truffle harvest. The reason for such lush growth has a lot to do with the abundant water supply from the huge, deep dam, spring, dammed seasonal creek and large water tanks. There are also outbuildings, as well as hay and machinery sheds which could easily be given new roles as stables.

The property provides endless opportunities to continue its rich, sustainable lifestyle, or be a source of income by developing the property further into a market garden. Its sheltered pastures of thick rye grass would equally sustain grazing or equine pursuits.

Your chance is now to secure a property which not only enhances your lifestyle, but also nurtures your soul.
