Little River 120 Minns Road

Looking for a life of picturesque period charm, close to water with space around you to breathe fresh country air? This expansive homestead with absolute Little River frontage is located amongst a community of hobby farm acreages just outside the small township of Little River. 8 acres of almost vacant space surround the home and allow you to select the hobby of your choice, whether it be horses, gardening or simply just wide open space; it's ready to create the dream you have always had in mind.

The region is a picturesque rural sanctum with the dramatic You Yangs on the horizon and the winding river on your back door. Commuting is a breeze with a local train station on the regular Geelong to Melbourne V/line link and easy access to the Princess Freeway. The extensive home offers up to 8 bedrooms with vast living spaces both indoors and out and the river running along the rear, forming the boundary of the property and only metres to the back door. Quality shedding located closer to the road is ideal for the tradesman or home industry, where business can carry on without disrupting family life around the home.

Constructed of a number of original relocated cottages, period features are abundant throughout. Soaring ceilings with cornice work, a huge farmhouse kitchen and laundry, beautifully restored bathrooms and gorgeous polished floorboards provide genuine character and soul throughout; you gain a real sense of true country living with added modern conveniences of quality stainless steel kitchen appliances, evaporative cooling, inverter reverse cycle split system and solar hot water.

The home is made up of two wings with a number of bedrooms, living spaces and a bathroom in each, while a huge entertaining deck forms a central link to all. The kitchen and large dining zone offer French doors leading to the entertaining deck ideal for outdoor meals. The kitchen is constructed almost entirely of reclaimed timber with open shelving, solid timber benches and cabinets running the length of the space and an enormous solid island structure perfect for meal preparation and storage. A huge lounge with wood heater also links to the central deck while additional decked areas surround the home allowing some of the bedrooms direct access to enjoy the rural outlook. A master suite itself also forms a separate wing featuring an elegant bay of double hung windows creating a sunny nook with a beautiful north aspect. A huge walk in robe and a yet to be completed ensuite (plumbed for double shower and double vanity) completes this private section that is accessed by a wide hallway large enough to house a private study area. The main bathroom is truly the most characteristic room of all. Perfectly replicated tiling and fittings include a huge claw foot bath with beautiful exposed antique brass fittings to the shower overhead.

Surrounding the home, lovely low maintenance cottage gardens create a colourful display in addition to the extensive children's play area. A garden and wood shed offer outdoor storage close to the home while a huge 22,500ltr water tank allows efficient watering of the unique bathtub veggie beds and citrus trees which offer a great start to the gardening opportunities the property offers.

This property is a genuine country retreat with city conveniences within reach!
