Imagine having the space to grow your own produce, keep animals, entertain family and friends, and enjoy a more self-sufficient lifestyle, all just minutes from Richmond. Offering an exciting combination of country living, income potential and established infrastructure, this is a property where lifestyle and opportunity go hand in hand.
Set among mature trees and established shelter hedges, the spacious four-bedroom family home offers privacy, generous lawns and plenty of room for everyone. Three bathrooms, open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, a home office, and a large laundry and mudroom provide the flexibility busy families appreciate. The impressive master suite enjoys its own balcony, walk-in dressing room and ensuite, while the home's straw-bale exterior walls provide excellent insulation and thermal qualities.
Outdoor living is equally appealing, with an expansive entertaining area featuring an open-sided kitchen, barbecue and pizza oven beneath shade sails. A spa pool, abundant citrus trees, extensive vegetable gardens and a chicken coop create the perfect setting for relaxed living, home-grown produce and enjoying the outdoors with family and friends.
Adding another dimension to the property is the separate three-bedroom cottage at the front, offering exciting potential for rental income, extended family or guest accommodation. Refurbished in 2019, this 144sqm home includes a living room, sunroom and deck, with its own fully fenced grounds and separate driveway access, providing privacy and independence from the main residence.
For those with a passion for growing, the property's horticultural history and established infrastructure present an exceptional opportunity. Previously used for commercial strawberry and chilli production, the property includes a 2,000sqm Faber commercial glasshouse with fertigation system, a further 900sqm glasshouse frame with fertigation system, and a 140sqm propagation glasshouse. Whether you're looking to continue a growing operation or explore new possibilities, the foundations are here.
The extensive shedding adds even more versatility, with a substantial high-roof, drive-through building incorporating generous work areas, a commercial chiller, germination room, toilet and multiple office spaces, including an office with a heat pump. An adjoining lean-to provides valuable storage for tractors, quad bikes, a ride-on mower, other machinery and firewood.
Beyond the home and working facilities, the flat, fenced land opens the door to a range of lifestyle pursuits. The largest paddock, approximately 3.7 hectares at the rear, has been resown in meadow hay grass and is ideal for grazing stock or horses. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the spacious, high-roof stables converted from a barn, with room for two horses, an adjoining tack and feed room, hay storage and a large post-and-batten enclosure. The existing dressage arena, currently used for storage, could also be reinstated.
Space to live, room to grow and options to create an income — this is a property that offers far more than a home alone. Whether your vision is a productive lifestyle block, a place for horses and animals, a horticultural venture, or a spacious family haven with additional accommodation, the opportunity is here to make it your own.
