Nestled in a private location, with expansive views of the Tarwin Valley, this stylish home is located only minutes from the thriving café and arts culture of Meeniyan and is set on a picturesque 6.27 acres surrounded by small acreage and farmland. Designed by respected local designer, Peter Milkins and built by Fish Creek builder, Phil Danckert, the home is tucked away at the end of a tree-lined driveway. The premises offers the increasingly popular request of a self-contained unit for dual occupancy, ideal for those with dependent family, teenagers/adult children or for those who wish to offer Air B & B accommodation as a gateway to Wilson’s Promontory and the spoils of the area. If the desire is to live sustainably, you will appreciate the good soil, 100,000 litres of tank water, 5KW solar, double glazing, greenhouse, chook house, 30 heritage fruit trees and native plantings plus the sizeable dam with pump that services the garden, veggie patch and greenhouse. There is also good fencing, making this the ideal hobby farm. The 5 bedroom home is practical in design, with large windows and sliding doors onto a deck, facing the rural views, which also offers superb cross flow ventilation in the warmer months and high ceilings throughout for a real sense of space. The focal point of the home is the open plan kitchen, dining and living area, taking in the scenery, with bamboo flooring, wood fire, glass splash back, excellent storage, dishwasher and butler’s pantry. A surround system helps the ambiance with speakers throughout the home and onto the deck.
