Final Viewing. Massive Do-up. Dual Dwellings on 10 Acres


Lovely large (and productive) land but the villa needs a lot of love!

Rarely do properties presenting so much potential come on to the market and this is surely an exception indeed! With a lot of work a savvy renovator will reap the rewards on this unpolished diamond in the rough.

On a corner site with two road frontages (think ahead for possible future development-potential folks!), this rectangular block of fertile land presents a wealth of opportunities to the avid do-up enthusiast, investor, or perhaps it might appeal to combined living opportunities for large families to live together yet not be in each other's pockets.

There are two driveways from the road so access is easy for the homes (a further gate is at the far end of the property into the paddock as well).

The two level villa is a well-lived-in gem of bygone history and it boasts some ornate ceilings and lead-light windows reminiscent of yesteryear. Upstairs are the original features and the home presents large rooms with high ceilings. A bonus are wooden floors in wet areas and carpet in the other rooms. There are choices a-plenty for bedrooms with both double and single rooms for sleeping options and the spacious living room is also a delight to behold. The kitchen, though dated, is functional and practical, however a complete makeover is an option to really capitalize on this dull-diamond to give it the polish and flare it deserves. Downstairs is concrete block base with spacious living areas and large rooms as well.

The second dwelling is a single-level haven and presents a great option for in-laws or even rental income. The house-proud and long-term tenant keeps the home well and the double or single rooms are fantastic options for you to choose from. Naturally the tenants really want to stay on as tenants however that depends on the new owner's requirements.

Both dwellings have decks for entertaining and the yard space is generous for the kids to play safely.

The land is predominantly flat along both roadways and slopes up and away from the roads towards the back. A small creek meanders through the property for water and eels have been seen swimming along for your visual enjoyment. Once upon a time the land was well manicured with fruit trees, flower-growing and strawberry farming yet now the paddocks are freshly mown and ready for the grass to grow and support your horses, sheep or whatever animals you might like to keep.

The current owner has enjoyed owning this property as a rental investment and now has other goals to achieve so has reluctantly placed the home for sale by auction. Their loss is your gain and with a little imagination and some thought into renovation then this could be the opportunity of a lifetime for you to grab while the grabbing is good.

Don't delay, come to the open homes (preferred so as to not inconvenience the tenants) and see how much of a great opportunity this truly presents. Don't miss out, call us now for more details.
