269 Canny Road Eppalock VIC 3551

For those who want a real country getaway, the peace and quiet of the bush, a nice country garden, fruit and veg that you have grown with your very own hands, farm fresh eggs, or maybe to dabble in wine making. If you like the idea of your kids having a deeper understanding of, and appreciation for nature, a lifestyle that includes lots of outside time, fishing, swimming or boating on a dam, riding motorbikes or horses, and generally running around in the fresh air, then you really need to make the time to look at this 20 acre property. It could be your families brand new lifestyle just waiting to begin.

The ranch style weathertex home is encompassed by a timber decked verandah providing lots of options for a nice undercover spot to enjoy a wonderful outlook over the easy care, established gardens, the half acre vineyard and the broader country backdrop, anytime of the day or year.

Inside it's clean and fresh, all along one side is an open plan area that includes a home office, lounge, dining and the newly refurbished kitchen with timber look cabinetry, stylish black benchtops, a raised servery, an appliance hutch with a roller door, plenty of cupboard space and a beautiful freestanding Emilia stove.

On the other side are the 3 bedrooms, the main with a walk-in-robe and pretty ensuite, the other two bedrooms have built-in-robes, each with a mirror door and they share a clean fresh bathroom with a separate toilet adjoined. The home is kept comfortable with split system heating and cooling and ceiling fans. There is a real focus on big picture windows to bring the outside in.

The lucky new owners will get to enjoy a hobby vineyard on irrigation, and if you like that you will find the concrete tank converted to a wine cellar very handy. There's a small olive grove and orchard with plum, lemon, peach, nectarine and even an almond tree, a herb garden, raised veggie beds, a henhouse which comes complete with hens and a rooster, there are also 3 Dorper sheep (the ones that don't need shearing) to keep the grass down.

An entertaining area by the dam smells great thanks to lemon gums, the kids are going to love the nearby fort, this is a great spot to BBQ, as is the alfresco area in the front garden which is very rustic with pine edged, pebble paths and lots of metal ornaments, the bulk of which will be staying.

The bigger kids are going to love the wood fired pizza oven which is also great for baked potatoes and a home cooked roast, and is right by the awesome mancave with a wood heater and bar with timber slab benches, one redgum and one yellow box. A separate room at one end provides lots of extra storage and a laundry area. It is connected to the home under cover of the carport.

Also deserving a mention are, NBN satellite internet, instant gas hot water, a 5.9kw solar system, 3 tanks for a total of 50,000L of rain water storage, and a lovely seasonal creek which meanders through the back of the property.

The property is situated in the picturesque suburb of Eppalock, only 10 minutes from the heart of Strathfieldsaye, which can satisfy almost all of your needs with an IGA supermarket, bakery, private and public schools, medical practice, chemist, dentist, veterinary clinic, plus an array of specialty shops, great sporting facilities, and the ever popular Braidies Tavern. For anything more it's only another 10 minutes to the major regional city of Bendigo.
