A place of peace, beauty, and tranquillity amidst 20 acres (approx.) of old-growth bushland and nature, this renovated family residence paints a beautiful picture of countryside living at the truest gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. A long asphalt driveway crosses the untouched banks of Watson Creek, and, through a procession of soaring spotted gums, introduces a classic 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom country cottage reinvigorated for the modern day. A spacious layout is defined by its vaulted timber-lined ceilings, exposed trusses, and dado panelling, accentuating the space of its formal lounge and dining room separate from a fireside family and meals space around a renewed stone kitchen. Each of the four bedrooms has a lovely verdant view, with vine-draped verandahs to each side relishing a gentle breeze and an outlook over its four acres (approx.) of garden grounds. Preserved bushland encompasses the remainder of its secretive being, containing a remnant population of 200-year-old Snow Gums, a series of ponds stocked with select native fish, and a wide variety of indigenous bird life that bring a genuine feeling of being a million miles away. Its overwhelming sense of seclusion and serenity is contrasted by a position just metres from Baxter township, where Baxter Village Shopping Centre, Baxter Tavern, Baxter Primary, Baxter Park and access to the Mornington Peninsula Freeway offer the lifestyle balance most crave yet seldom find. Just one hour from Melbourne and only minutes from Frankston, Mount Eliza, and Mornington bayside lifestyles, it's finished with a machinery shed, a carport and a dog enclosure, with space to create paddocks, a swimming pool, a tennis court or a brand-new family home (STCA).
