Jack River VIC 3971

SALE BY DEADLINE NOW CLOSED

Hobby farming one day, fishing or frolicking along the famous Wilsons' Promontory coastline the next; as the owner of 'Deloraine Farm' you'll be the envy of family and friends.

The wonderfully located 'Deloraine Farm' is in the Jack River region, 16* minutes' drive inland from the Gippsland coastal hamlet of Port Albert and 12* minutes from the rural country township of Yarram. Known by the locals for its fertile river flats, the region has a long history of being a prime producer of cattle and more recently has attracted interest from some of Victoria's largest commercial market garden growers.

At 27.28ha* 'Deloraine Farm' is the perfect country lifestyle property, offering adequate acreage for grazing stock, growing fruit and/or vegetable crops, ride the horse or bike, or simply take in the spectacular north facing view of the distant Strzelecki Range; and all of this from the comfort of a beautifully presented craftsman-built home.

With a delightful sandstone exterior finish, colourbond iron roof and wrap around return verandah, the home has instant country lifestyle appeal, yet includes all the fixtures, fittings and features you'd expect of a contemporary build.

The garden walkway entrance leads to the spacious open plan living area encompassing the kitchen, dining area and lounge. The beautifully appointed kitchen features stone bench tops, stainless steel appliances and first-class kitchen cabinetry. The focal point in the living area is the centrally located wood combustion heater that warms the entire home in winter, with double-glazed windows throughout keeping the home cool in the summer months.

The left wing of the home features the master bedroom and separate study (or 4th bedroom). The master bedroom benefits from a northerly aspect with double sliding glass to the verandah deck overlooking the property to the Strzelecki Range. The master bedroom is completed with a substantial walk-in robe and superbly appointed ensuite.

The right wing of the home consists of two large double bedrooms with built in robes and each with their own sliding door private access to the verandah deck. A brilliantly appointed bathroom with separate bath and frameless shower, separate guest toilet and spacious laundry with direct access to outside completes the right wing.

External building improvements include a substantial 5 bay shed of concrete and steel colourbond construction with access via 3 large roller doors (2 x electric). The shed has ample power and includes its own office, toilet and washroom making it the perfect workshop and/or storage area for all of the plant, equipment and toys you may have.

The gardens surrounding the home have a distinct and charming cottage feel and lead to a substantial and established orchard of various citrus and fruit varieties including lemons, limes, oranges and mandarins. Walk a little further and you discover the tranquil Albert River setting that forms the rear boundary of the property and which also provides water security via a 2.2mg* water licence. Further water security is provided via the installation of 2 x 100,000* litre networked water tanks that provide water to home and across the property to floated stock troughs.
