Point Lonsdale 391-419 Shell Road

At the end of a long drive lined with mature native She oak trees, the substantial home offers ample accommodation for growing families. Timber clad and lined, its East-West orientation and ranch style design offers spectacular, uninterrupted views of the lake that forms part of the boundary of an outstanding 39 acre (approx.) allotment. With all the home's main rooms enjoying a northerly aspect, the interior is filled with natural light. Decked pergolas strategically positioned along the northern face provide summer shade and the perfect entertaining space that only serve to enhance the ample interior accommodation.

Separated into distinct zones, the master suite at the Eastern end of the home looks over the property's wetlands (with an array of water birds in residence for much of the year) and also boasts a private ensuite / powder room that can also be accessed from the 'formal' lounge. The need for television is questionable here as the cosy wood fire and dual aspect to both the lake and wetlands, with the wooded areas of the property beyond, provide a more relaxing form of entertainment than television ever could. Perhaps pop the TV in the family room at the far end of the enormous galley kitchen.

There is no denying that this area would benefit from updating (as would the remainder of the home), but that is not to say that it cannot be enjoyed until such time as you decide on the new decor that would best suit your personal tastes. Offering abundant storage and work surfaces, its situation in the centre of the home beside a casual dining area and with almost direct access to the outdoor entertaining make it easy to see how this would be the true heart of the home.

Two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and vast utility room lead to the final room at the far western end of the home which has much potential for almost any purpose your family requires. A children's rumpus room, teenagers retreat, or even, spectacular fourth bedroom are just some of the suggestions that you might consider.

Solidly constructed and in good condition, the warmth of the timber, cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and large expanses of glass along both lengths of the home make it most welcoming and honestly, any alterations that you may choose to make in order to reflect your own personality, are all going to be purely cosmetic.

Complete with a wide variety of shedding for machinery, vehicles, storage, hobbies and trades, the property is divided into a series of paddocks that would be ideal for livestock or any smaller scale farming pursuits that you have long dreamed of. There is even the possibility of building on the ideas of an artists or eco retreat with a studio already operational and in use plus a further barn style cottage with private entrance and superb lake views beyond the woodland. In need of completion, the use of rustic materials in its construction gives it a unique character that would appeal to a number of potential business ideas.

The potential of this property cannot be emphasised strongly enough; its idyllic setting, coastal location and sheer scale put it in a category that commands respect but the fact that it is being offered under such unique circumstances make it an absolute must for consideration by anybody who has ever longed for a peaceful life on the land!
