Federation beauty on one acre

2 1 5

Set on approximately one acre, 'Barinda' is an alluring Federation style home, set on two titles and certain to make an impression. This charming property is located in the township of Macarthur, right by one of Australia's great national heritage landscapes, Budj Bim National Park. Macarthur is nestled between the coastal tourist town of Port Fairy to the south and the conveniences of Hamilton to the north.

The fully renovated home has not only been restored to its former glory, showcasing delightful polished floorboards, decorative cornice and wall panelling, it has also been extended and modernised to suit 21st century living.

The spacious kitchen, crafted by Tony Lambert, really makes a statement. Features include a gas cooktop and tiled splashback, but the icing on the cake is the Esse Ironheart wood fired stove, sitting beautifully amongst the exposed brick chimney.

The adjacent dining room currently provides a separate formal meals space; however, it does also contain built-in storage and offers the potential to convert back into an additional bedroom if required.

Sitting at the rear of the property is a vast family living room with a Coonara wood heater and air conditioning. The laundry, a bathroom with shower and vanity and a separate toilet are also accessed from here.

This living room leads straight out onto a rear veranda, which overlooks the expansive yard – a culinary lover's delight. From a lush herb garden spanning across the home's rear, to an established orchard with a selection of stone fruit and citrus, and an array of raised vegetable beds, the yard is a haven for any lover of home grown produce. Two substantial tanks in the yard provide fresh water totalling 56,000 litres, which is pumped to the home, however town water is also connected if required.

An enviable 12x6 metre Colorbond shed sits in the yard and is complete with 15-amp power, a 6.5 metre workbench with 6 double powerpoints and a 3.2 metre clearance. In addition to this is a 3.8 metre high carport attached to the home, leading directly into a convenient mudroom area. A 26 x 8.5ft shipping container positioned behind the shed also provides further storage space.

A manicured garden surrounding the home showcases a selection of established trees and roses and attracts a vast array of bird life, as well as providing a tranquil space to relax at the end of a busy day. Dual access along with a circular driveway is at the front of the property, while vehicle access from Palmerston Street, at the rear, is also available.

This unique property will tick all the boxes for a tree-changer, or somebody relocating off the farm who is used to the freedom of open space. Contact Groves Real Estate to arrange your inspection today.
