50 BLACKWOOD ROAD, Mirboo North, Vic 3871

This beautiful un spoilt region of "Gippsland Country" is widely renown for providing those quiet little tucked away places where folks can retreat & beat the hustle & bustle of modern-day life. And what better way to retreat and hide away from the world that right here. The older style country farmhouse is quietly positioned right at the end of a NO through road. Its quiet, almost too quiet, so it’s just you, your 42 acres, scenery, and seclusion.

A true Country style farm house in every sense that has seen some improvements over the years but has shied away from having that sterile modern interior created. Energy efficient with a massive 12kw solar system. Original hardwood and Baltic pine floor boards exist, high ceilings, Masonite lined with timber strapping, picture rails and timber double hung windows testify to the homes originality. Somewhere along the way a large open floor kitchen, meals and 2 lounge room areas have been created. The original kitchen is still in place with an upright gas/oven. A free-standing wood heater and reverse cycle keeps this home comfortable no matter what time of the year it is.

As for the land its mostly tractorable and easy to maintain. Fences are in okay condition and will keep stock safe and secure. Be it sheep, cows or horses the land is sure to deliver. And the land also offers many view points as you potter around. The property is a water wonderland with one ever reliable spring fed dam with the other 3 dams just recently maintained and cleaned out.

There is a small mountain stream running through the gully. But this is No ordinary gully. Although steep in its topography this special gully has survived the onslaught of early pioneer clearing. Tall Blackwood’s trees and towing king ferns remain this small section is a micro wilderness is untouched and home to a wide range of native wildlife. With a little foresight and sensitivity towards the environment you could establish some access walking tracks which would allow you to penetrate this rarely unseen part of the property.

Secure shedding includes a 12m x 5m with power and concrete floor. A separate garage 7m x 3.5m. Hay shed, cattle race and crush. The old dairy has historical value and includes an original loft where grain and produce would once have been stored. Requiring work, the 70 year old dairy would make an ideal artist studio or rustic outdoor entertaining area. There are no gardens as such however there is some amazing old established trees surrounding the home such as the Lilly Pilly and Bay Leaf tree.

So whether your hankering for a small scale farm or you would just like to try your hand at growing some produce or perhaps even a “farm stay” accommodation. Anyone looking for the lifestyle change then come see how the other folk live. Of course, that’s after the lock downs end.

This property lies on the tourist route of the Grand Ridge Road and positioned in the rolling hills of the Strzelecki Ranges. Access is mostly by sealed road, with 500meters of Blackwood Road being unsealed. A school bus service passes right by.
