Grandview 79 Dundas Road Glenrowan VIC 3675

When selling agent Michael Everard of Elders Real Estate in Wangaratta describes the Grandview property at Glenrowan as "quite probably the best small farm and spacious homestead in the local district" buyers in search of a family lifestyle or rural enterprise opportunity should take notice.
The Glenrowan holding has an area of circa 48 hectares or 120 acres and is fenced into eleven paddocks and is currently running forty head of young Angus cattle on agistment.
The holding has frontages of approximately 720 metres to 79 Dundas Road, a no-though road with easy connections to Glenrowan township about four kilometres away and Wangaratta, around twelve kilometres distant north, both with school bus pick up points within easy reach.
Whilst its western boundary is along 900 metres to the Hume Freeway Reserve with the Warby Ranges as a backdrop, and about three kilometres distant is the major BP Glenrowan east side service and retail centre.
A key to its attraction is the Grandview homestead constructed in an art deco style in 1935, the date confirmed by a tablet which the original bricklayers and tradespersons placed into a wall of the home.
It has five family sized bedrooms, or four plus an office or study as the vendors have configured it currently. There are two bathrooms plus extensive lounge and dining areas with a modern kitchen with classic appliances and fittings.
Built in double brick with a corrugated steel roof it has an area under roof of forty eight squares and the vendors who have owned it as their family home since 1996 have sympathetically retained and refurbished its many original features.
These include two extensive verandas front and rear, plus extensive original detailing including wall corniches, leadlight windows in the principal rooms and sealed and polished Murray Pine timber flooring in the living and service areas.
The vendors have also repainted the home internally in a classic colour scheme that is sympathetic to and reflective of the period of its construction.
The home has three chimneys, one currently in use by a combustion firewood heater that warms the building in the winter, while there also is a ducted zoned reverse cycle heating and cooling system installed.
The home is sited about halfway down the block on a slight rise so that in the winter months the four snow-capped alpine peaks of Falls Creek, Mount Hotham, Buffalo and Buller are clearly in sight.
The home is reached by a long four hundred and fifty metre driveway and is set in an extensive established lawn and garden area.
There are many useful sheds for garaging, workshop, machinery and hay storage, while the vendor who admits to an interest in classic car restoration has retired from operation of an automotive business in nearby Wangaratta.
The Vendor says we are selling to undertake new travel experiences and "something different".
The boundary fencing is hotwired while internal subdivision fencing is in excellent condition and was designed to easily transfer livestock from green pick to green pick.
There is a concrete trough in every paddock plus a good set of stock yards.
Water resources are another outstanding feature including a very large reliable spring fed dam which is equipped with a solar pump and a firefighting pump.
Each can fill by lines to a large 25,000 litre concrete tank adjoining the homestead for purposes including garden hose and sprinkler systems and stock watering.
There is also 150,000 litres of rain water storage for domestic uses.
Elders Real Estate's Wangaratta selling agent Michael Everard says that Grandview is a farm and lifestyle property that wlll command real interest now that it is on the market.
"Firstly, it has direct access into both Wangaratta and Glenrowan along formed subsidiary roads as an alternative to the using the Hume Freeway.
"The 1935 classic built homestead has an outstanding period presence and has real family living appeal.
"Clearly it was professionally and expensively constructed immediately after the tough years of the 1930s depression.
"It has had very few owners since and the vendors have done an outstanding task in its current presentation.
"The acreage is productive, the landform is ideal, and is large enough to easily run a good number of cattle or livestock for feeding or breeding.
"The position and exposure to district views is superb and I must recommend an inspection of Grandview strongly to any buyer seeking a signature property and home in the north east district".
