Would you like to live rural but want the convenience of being in town? Then why not have both? This 3.5 acre property is located on the edge of the town of Orbost with rural surroundings. The home is approximately fifty squares under roof with double brick walls, quality fixtures and fittings throughout and is split over two levels. The large five-bedroom, three-bathroom, brick home was constructed approximately twelve years ago. The upper level is divided into two wings. The southern wing encompasses three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, a family bathroom, separate toilet and a walk-in linen press. The western wing of the home incorporates the large master bedroom with walk-in robe, air conditioning and views out over farmland. There is also a second bathroom with large bath, a separate toilet and a laundry. The massive lounge is the centrepiece of this impressive home and has terrific views out over the property and surrounding farmland. The lounge is a great size for a larger family and there'd even be enough room for a billiard table. A north-facing verandah off the lounge is a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee or cool drink in the evening. The adjoining kitchen would be perfect for the master chef in the family, with walk-in pantry, gas cooktop with electric oven, dishwasher and ample bench space. To maintain a comfortable temperature all year round, there is a large spilt system air conditioner and a slow combustion wood heater in the lounge. The brick exterior, mostly double-glazed windows and a 4.6kw (approx.) grid connected solar system helps keep heating and cooling costs to a minimum and those power bills low. The lower level has been designed as a totally separate living space and may suit a teenager that wants their own space, an elderly parent as you can access the area from the ground level from the garage or from the internally stairs. You could even just use to as a space for when guests arrive. The lower-level unit could also suit use as a permanent rental or holiday rental to provide some additional income. The lower level of the home is accessed from internal stairs off the kitchen which lead down to a double lock up garage. The garage is nearly nine metres in length, big enough to fit the largest of vehicles. From the garage, an internal access door takes you to a self-contained unit complete with large lounge with external access from the rear lawn, a large combined kitchen and dining room with gas cooking, a bedroom with a built-in robe and a large bathroom. The lower level maintains an even temperature all year round with the brick walls facing earth right along the southern side. A large four bay open front shed with power connected and concrete floor is located towards the western side of the property. This would be ideal to store large caravans, boats, horse floats and all those other necessary toys. A woodshed also sits alongside the main shed. The balance of the property has excellent soil and would be suitable for horses, cattle or other agricultural or horticultural pursuits. A solid set of cattle yards makes handling and transporting stock easy. Establish gardens surround the home and the massive rear lawn would be a great place for the children or grandchildren to play, have a kick of the footy or a hit of cricket. The lawn would also make a great spot for a pool, perfect for those hot summer days. Nestled on the Snowy River, Orbost is a great location to start your country lifestyle. Orbost has a golf club and sports centre, lots of cafes, two supermarkets, banks and a variety of specialist stores, a Regional Hospital, Secondary College and Primary Schools. Orbost is only a short drive to the coastal town of Marlo for unspoilt beaches and great fishing and boating. You can even head offshore fishing from the newly refurbished boat ramp at nearby Cape Conran. This property is ready to move in and just enjoy without any work to do.
