From orchard to a lifestyle property with the stories of its past hiding in plain sight, this Mylor treasure shares its proud history with a beautifully evolved family home and the enchanting beauty of an outlook that goes well beyond the seven aces it calls its own.
Set on a sweeping corner, there's more than one way into this bore-fed, highly-arable property that greets you with its oldest story first; an 1890s stone outbuilding that was a cold store in a former life and reveals a fully lined studio/retreat today.
That stone sits just feet from a main residence with thick walls of its own and a series of periodic updates and additions, all set perfectly amongst carefully curated gardens and a swimming pool.
Those gardens come into regular view from this light-filled home with a charming mix of polished timber floors, high ceilings, subtle Art Deco cues and big, airy rooms across its versatile 4-bed/1-study footprint.
An updated kitchen makes the most of its social, central position, pairing stone benchtops and quality appliances with a breakfast bar for company while you turn something picked minutes ago into dinner.
Multiple living zones give everyone room to follow their own pursuits, a combustion fireplace rewards the quieter moments and parquetry floors distinguish a dining room with views past the vine-covered patio.
Adoringly maintained by its owners of 35 years, the home balances its older charms with an updated main-bedroom ensuite, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and combustion heat transfer, backed by a substantial 20kW solar system.
The former orchard still bears fruit through thriving pear trees, joining the vegetable garden in a productive landscape that rises to a dam that sits at the property's crest, casting a view back over the valley from its banks.
Fenced paddocks invite livestock or further planting, while a plentiful bore and extensive rainwater storage support the ambitions of anyone who sees these seven acres as an opportunity to grow more than a garden.
Seven acres give the family more than a view, with generous lawns for cricket and kick-to-kick, room to extend the veggie patch and fenced paddocks that make the perennial request for a pony a little harder to dismiss.
And that is the enduring appeal; a place to put your hands to work, watch the children disappear into their own adventures or take a seat and let the view account for an otherwise unproductive afternoon.
