97 McCarthy Drive, Heathcote VIC 3523

An impressive tree-lined entrance leads you along a well-maintained driveway to the home and shedding, privately positioned toward the rear of this 20-acre property.

Inside, the quality three-bedroom brick veneer home, built in 1996, is presented immaculately and has been beautifully maintained. The home features a spacious lounge room with bi-fold doors, allowing separation from the open-plan kitchen and meals area if desired. One thing this home offers in abundance is storage. The well-appointed kitchen includes ample cupboard and bench space, overhead cabinetry, and a generous pantry. It is equipped with a new electric oven, electric cooktop, and dishwasher, and opens seamlessly onto the family meals area, complete with a reverse-cycle split system.

Down the hallway, you’ll find additional built-in storage. The generous master bedroom offers excellent storage with both a walk-in robe and built-in robe, along with a private ensuite. The remaining two bedrooms are well-sized and also feature built-in robes. The central three-piece bathroom includes a shower, bath, and vanity, complemented by a separate toilet and a spacious laundry with extensive storage and external access.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A timber-lined front verandah provides a welcoming entrance, while a wide rear verandah is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Adjoining the home is a 12m x 5.8m brick garage, divided into two sections: a single car garage with built-in storage at the front, and a versatile rumpus room or studio at the rear, complete with a reverse-cycle split system and wood heater.

The property is well-equipped with excellent shedding, including a 9.2m x 9.4m Colorbond shed with concrete floor and power, a 6m x 7.2m garage with concrete floor and power, and an adjoining 7.6m x 7.2m storage shed enclosed on three sides. There are also sheep yards located toward the rear.

The land is predominantly cleared, with established stands of eucalyptus trees providing shelter, and is divided into five paddocks with stock-proof fencing. Water is well catered for, with three large dams offering excellent catchment, ideal for maintaining the established orchard and vegetable garden. A large chicken coop or animal shelter further enhances the property’s versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of farming pursuits.
