Ever dreamt of that country escape with no close neighbours and plenty of room to explore? Well with this property of just over 35 acres bordering State Forest you can have it and yet still be close to the major rural and seaside towns of East Gippsland. Predominantly bush, there’s a level building area atop a ridge with some existing storage sheds and views to the over adjoining bush and farmland. The seasonal Bridal Creek meanders through the property and the boundary is partly fenced. The property was recognised for its high conservation value flora and fauna by the current owner and a Trust for Nature Covenant is in place over the property. Deer are regularly seen on the property and in the neighbouring State Forest, where Sambar Deer hunting is permitted. Feel like some exercise? Jump on the push bike and ride the easy 5 km or so along the adjoining East Gippsland Rail Trail to the Bruthen township for a coffee or a meal. For the keen motor bike riders and four-wheel drivers there’s also plenty to explore, with the adjoining Colquhoun State Forest and Regional Park dotted with tracks. For those keen to explore even further afield there’s bush tracks just to the North of the property, that will take you right up into the Victorian High Country. Good Telstra mobile reception is available across the property. Centrally located, the property is only a short drive to the village of Metung and the seaside town of Lakes Entrance. The major rural hub of Bairnsdale is also only a short commute, and for the skiers and boarders, Mount Hotham is only around two hours’ drive. These types of properties are getting harder and harder to find. Call today to book your inspection. Inspections available seven days a week, strictly by appointment only. Property Code: 96
