204 Andersons Road

Sitting at the base of the majestic Mount Moriac and located in a coveted rural lifestyle position close to Geelong, "Strathmile" offers the perfect blend of country life whilst being on the doorstep of town. Once part of the expansive and much-heralded Strathlachlan Estate, "Strathmile" now represents a rare opportunity to secure a premium 148.46* acre holding in a blue-ribbon locale. Nestled amongst established trees and gardens, featuring expansive lawns and plenty of play space for the kids, this family friendly country estate provides plenty of flexibility for a wide array of farming activities (cattle, sheep, equine etc) amongst the rolling hills that Barrabool is widely renowned for. Sitting in an elevated position and enjoying expansive views over the surrounding countryside, the spacious family home offers 4 bedrooms (all with s/system heating & cooling), 2 bathrooms (stylish ensuite to master, both incl. underfloor heating) and a large family laundry with an adjoining powder room. Two guesthouse studios complement the home, linked to the main residence via a garden boardwalk, each featuring a kitchenette, ensuite and bedroom - perfect for an au pair, gym/home office or artistic space. Carefully designed and positioned to showcase the incredible views, picture windows frame the lush outlook over the luxurious pool, paddocks and Mount Moriac in the distance. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen, meals and lounge area which enjoys a wood fire for cosy winter nights, r/cycle heating & cooling, ducted evap cooling, and a seamless connection onto the sprawling deck and entertaining area around the pool. The bespoke kitchen features concrete benchtops, walk-in-pantry, separate coffee/meal prep area, 900mm Falcon pyrolytic oven & gas stovetop, Miele dishwasher and extensive storage. Bonus rooms within the main residence include a handy separate retreat off the main lounge area with sliding doors on each end (perfect for growing families looking to balance kids play, tv time and study), plus an oversized separate dining room upon entry with Nectre wood fire for added comfort, perfect for a piano, billiard table or grand entertaining. Enjoying infinity edge views over the paddocks, the solar-heated, salt-chlorinated, fully-tiled custom pool adds a touch of luxury to the country setting, whilst the kitchen garden, mature olive trees, auto garage with garden storage and cubby house for the kids completes the picture. Externally the farm is well set up with improved pastures across 13 main paddocks, established shelter belts, an extensive water supply (6 dams, bore water and supplementary tanks), electric fences, main laneway for stock handling, massive machinery shed (feat. concrete floor, raised sheep pens, shearing board and side access) plus a separate 4 bay hay shed. A modern 270,000L* Kingspan steel water tank services the home and pool, whilst paddock troughs are fed from the bore. Andersons Road is consistently regarded as one the leading rural lifestyle addresses in Greater Geelong, with its easy accessibility to Geelong's private school precinct, Newtown shopping & restaurants and CBD/waterfront amenities.
