Drysdale 425 Murradoc Road

Obscured from the road and settled within the protection of dense towering windbreaks, this secluded country homestead is nestled within an oasis of glorious gardens. Surrounded by approximately 15.78 hectares (39 acres), this amazing property is only a four minute drive from the comprehensive shopping, schools and services of Drysdale.

In authentic rural Australian tradition, a broad return verandah welcomes visitors and invites expansive outdoor enjoyment. Immense interior space and replica period architecture capture the opulence of stately Victorian-style living.

Vast entry hall graced with double leadlight doors, ornate high ceilings and quality drapery display attention to old world detail. A huge open fireplace with marble hearth in the massive formal lounge/dining room aptly takes centre stage between twin sets of French doors leading to the verandah. The adjoining tiled sunroom would make a charming studio.

Modern concessions to convenience are found in the open plan family room where a split system augments the rustic ambience of a wood heater. Behind an island and housed within solid timber joinery beneath granite benchtops, a dishwasher plus glass cooktop and double wall oven equip the kitchen. With small appliance shelf and place for a freezer, the walk-in pantry is a dream come true for keen cooks.

The grand master bedroom with bay window for a chaise lounge incorporates a deluxe en suite containing double shower, corner spa and twin vanities. Ideal for guests or aged relatives, a separate wing has a shower room, study, large laundry and bedroom. Two more bedrooms are serviced by a third bathroom, and all contain built-in robes.

Plenty of covered vehicle and workshop space is supplied by an oversized auto double garage with direct entry into the residence, along with two sheds. The first measures 12×6 metres, the second 6×6 metres, both with concrete floors and power. Vast tank capacity, livestock and pasture paddocks plus electric fencing, holding pens and a loading ramp are in place.

Located only 24 kilometres from Geelong, it is a very short dive to a wealth of beaches, wineries, restaurants and wide variety of other attractions offered by the Bellarine Peninsula. Close to amenities, yet providing superlative seclusion, immerse yourself in the tranquillity of this impressive, spacious and very private property.
