5373 Gelantipy Road Wulgulmerang East VIC 3885

Do you want to escape the rat race and have your very own property in the Victorian High Country? Wulgulmerang East is a small locality at the junction of McKillops Road and the Snowy River Road at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, approximately 110 kilometres north of the surf beaches and Gippsland Lakes at Lakes Entrance. “Seldom Seen” is a property of around forty-two acres with a solid, two-bedroom home with electricity, NBN and telephone connected. There's even a Telstra payphone across the road and Telstra 4G is available in the area.

The comfortable home is on a relatively level section of the property and well setback from the excellent bitumen road which winds its way up from the historical town of Buchan. The home has a large kitchen complete with a wood stove with water jackets to assist with heating water. The generous lounge has views over the lower gully and across to the large dam on the property. Th lounge is fitted with a split system reverse cycle air conditioner and the centrepiece of the room, an open fire with an ingenious powerless fan system to help improve heating efficiency.

A generous master bedroom at the southern end of the home also has magnificent views over the lower parts of the property, whilst the adjacent second bedroom has excellent natural light. Both bedrooms have built-in-robes. There is also a combined bathroom and laundry complete with both bath and shower. A veranda to the east is a great place to enjoy a morning coffee, whilst the veranda to the rear is a great place to enjoy the sunset whilst sipping on a beer or wine. Alternatively, settle down on the lawn in the cooler months around a fire pit and savour the peace and quiet!

The existing external fencing is in poor condition but there is some solid internal fencing around the home. With the addition of some more internal fencing, some stock could be run on the property. Alternatively, the property could suit a variety of horticultural pursuits, utilising the water in the large dam. The dam would also likely support fish, should the new owner wish to have their very own fishery!

The children or grandchildren will love exploring the property, which adjoins State Forest at the rear, where there is a second access from Skyes Rd. For the avid four-wheel drivers, motorbike riders and outdoor enthusiasts there are plenty of tracks in the region to explore. Sambar deer regularly move through the property and deer hunting is permitted in thousands of acres of the neighbouring Gelantipy State Forest. Wild pigs are also known to move through the area. A short drive further north will see you linking up with the Snowy River, famous for its Australian Bass fishery. Under two hours' drive is Jindabyne, a trout fishing mecca and gateway to the NSW snowfields.

For supplies that you can't grow on the property yourself, Buchan has a General Store, Roadhouse, Cafe and the historic Buchan Hotel. Here you will find the famous Buchan Limestone Caves nestled against the Buchan River. There is also a primary school, childcare, neighbourhood house and sporting facilities. Alternatively, Lakes Entrance has both Aldi and Woolworths for your larger weekly shops. A public bus service also travels between nearby Gelantipy and the major rural hub of Bairnsdale twice weekly, terminating at the train station. From here the train travels to the Melbourne CBD.
