Connewarre 20 Staceys Road

A unique mix of coastal and rural living with a view to which very few are privileged, creates a unique opportunity on this 27.46 acre (11.11 ha) hobby farm. Perched on the banks of Lake Connewarre, views of the You Yangs and lights of Geelong set a striking backdrop to the still lake waters; all this is captured from a northerly aspect in almost every room of this sprawling rural homestead, just minutes from beautiful Barwon Heads.

The property would specifically suit retiring farmers wishing to downsize to smaller grazing land or equine lovers with 4 existing holding yards and 4 electric fenced paddocks of various sizes. A 4 bay shed is fully powered with hot water shower, workshop while an old bluestone shed offers storage or tack room.

The exquisitely built, well-proportioned home is both stylish and practical offering multiple living spaces, 4 bedrooms and a dedicated study. Built to maximize views, the solid brick home provides more than just a rural retreat; a country style wraparound verandah surrounds the home with internal walls of brick and cedar and solid timber cabinetry creating a stylish and timeless interior. Formal and casual living connect, centering around an enormous kitchen linking the oversized outdoor entertaining area, while sleeping quarters are separated for zoned family living. High quality appliances (halogen and gas cooking) plus dual fridge cavity and walk in pantry provide a well-appointed kitchen sized for farm style catering, while outdoors a built in BBQ sits within a paved and covered outdoor room for entertaining.

Beautiful floor to ceiling timber bay windows capture views across the north while also allowing natural light to fill the entire home along the south. The master suite consumes one end of the home with great proportions right through to the ensuite. His and hers walk in robes, spa bath and separate toilet offer privacy and luxury. The dedicated study (close to the master) is fitted wall to wall with storage and desk space for home businesses while 3 additional large bedrooms offer well fitted robes (1 also with desk joinery). In this section, the family bathroom and laundry provide large sized wet areas with immense benches and cupboards creating good usable work space in the laundry.

Climate control within the home is well considered. A brick open fire place sits amongst the formal living and dining areas while wood heater and refrigerated air conditioning exist in the central zone. Reverse cycle split systems are also fitted to north facing bedrooms for ultimate comfort in extreme weather conditions.

A double garage attached to the home has been converted to a huge living space complete with floor to ceiling windows for a rumpus room with a view! This space can easily revert back to vehicle storage simply by removing carpet. Town water is connected to the property with 4 large tanks for additional supply and a clear water septic system running off to the surrounding grounds.

Placed only 10 minutes to some of the region's best beaches and Geelong's rapidly developing growth corridor, this property provides the perfect lifestyle retreat with space for your hobby and breathtaking views to top it off!
