Beautiful rural views, surrounded by farmland and only a short drive to the centre of Orbost! Escape to the country but still be a mere five kilometres from town and with the convenience of town water! Buying a lifestyle property or making a “tree change” is a rewarding, life-changing experience. Keeping chickens to get free-range eggs, raising bees for honey, growing your own fruit and vegetables or raising a couple of sheep in your own backyard, can be a reality on this property of around two-thirds of an acre (0.27 hectares). The living area of the home is an open plan design with a dining area adjoining a renovated, modern kitchen and a spacious lounge. The kitchen would be perfect for the Master Chef in the family with a fabulous Belling 900mm gas stove, u-shaped benches and a step-in pantry. The lounge has a solid wood fireplace and a spit system air-conditioner to keep the home at a comfortable temperature no matter the time of year. There are three generous bedrooms to the Northern end of the main home and a bungalow to the East of the home, which would be ideal as fourth bedroom, teenager's retreat or could also be purposed as a home office. The home has two bathrooms, with the second one combined with a laundry. You can relax on the large timber deck with built in bar, entertain family and friends, have a BBQ and drinks while taking in the rural views and watch the children and pets play close-by in the secure yard. Additional features include a single carport leading to under home storage, a large shed with workshop, double carport and additional parking area in front of the home. The paddock to the rear of the home could potentially run a couple of sheep to help keep the grass down or even turn this into your very own orchard! The East Gippsland region offers outstanding natural environment and climate, affordable real estate and opportunity with its location and the evolving food and beverage scene. The coastal town of Marlo is only fifteen kilometres away and this is where the mighty Snowy River meets the sea. It's only a forty-minute drive to the tourist town of Lakes Entrance and around one hours' drive to Bairnsdale, the industrial and business centre of East Gippsland. It is here the V/Line Bus from Orbost connects to the V/line train service to Melbourne. The V/line Bus also connects Orbost to Canberra, with connections to Sydney. Make your move to the country. If you are looking for a place to make the tree/sea change and bring your ideas and opportunities to life, there's a good chance this is the location to do it!
