Beautiful period home with substantial land and shedding in the heart of the Pyrenees Wine Region.

This elegant 100 year old Californian Bungalow style, solid brick home sits on 1.75 acres (7063m2) on 2 allotments making up a complete corner block only a few minutes walk from the township of Avoca in Central Victoria.

The home has been carefully renovated to retain and enhance many original features such as ornate ceilings, unique Australian cornices, red cedar skirting boards, doors & double hung sash windows & lead light glass. It comprises of 3 substantial sized bedrooms - 1 doubling as as an office/study/bedroom area, a generous renovated period style bathroom, a well appointed kitchen with quality appliances, island bar and an adjoining dining room. An extensive underground cellar offers stable temperate for wine storage with custom built racking & shelving.

Accessed under cover from the home is a tastefully renovated, comfortable, air conditioned, fully self contained 1 bedroom bungalow/granny flat/rental unit. Joining both house & bungalow is an expansive undercover area for outdoor living & entertaining.

Home heating and cooling is well addressed with a combination of enclosed (Coonarra style) and open wood burning fires and 3 reverse cycle air conditioners. Water heating is by 2 near new electric heat pumps connected separately to the home and the bungalow. A 6.5 kw solar system, LED lighting and insulation throughout helps to reduce power bills.

Spacious low maintenance gardens surround the home. Mixed variety plantings create sheltered & shady garden areas in summer which regularly attract numerous species of native birds. Gardens are watered by mains supplied water through a drip system and the home uses filtered tank water via 60,000 litres of rainwater storage collected from shed roofing. Mains water is connected & available for the house via a simple tap change if required. Outside there are well placed taps, power points, automated security lights and a zoned security system in the home and sheds.

The extensive shedding consists of 3 separate lockable areas under one roof line.
1) Approx 13 x 10 meter workshop with sliding door entry and an exit onto Faraday Street, with an overhead rolling gantry & wired with 3 phase power.
2) Approx 20 x 6 meter storage shed which incorporates a 6.5 x 5.5 meter (20 plus pallet) cool room - both fitted with top quality pallet racking.
3) Approx 10 x 7 meter double car garage with remote controlled roller doors accessed from the driveway.

These sheds are all accessed via double (4 meter wide) electric, remote controlled gates and a 150 mm reinforced concrete driveway designed for heavy vehicles.

Additional shedding includes a 6 x 3 meter wood storage shed with roller door & separate enclosed toilet and a 5 x 3 meter garden shed with roller & swinging access doors and a 1.5 meter verandah.

An area is also set aside at the back of the property with a custom build hen house. Separate high fenced areas, timer controlled gates and an electric fence keep our happy & wonderfully productive hens safe from predators.
